Pendant lights
Why choose a pendant light for your home?
Pendant lamps, universal lighting for the home, often in the shape of a drop or pendant. Pendant lights are the perfect complement to a wide range of interiors. Pendant lights are perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms. They are designed to function as main or supplementary lighting.
How pendant lighting can change the perception of space
Correctly installed lighting can change the perception of a room, making it more pleasant or modern. You can also highlight certain areas of your apartment's interior, enhancing its functionality.
The benefits of pendant lighting to create a unique style
One of the main tasks when designing a room is to visually raise the ceiling. The visual elevation or inclination is facilitated by light, cool tones for the upper part and fine, shiny elements.
Suspended lamps for optimum lighting of different rooms
A pendant lamp can easily find its place inside any room. If several lamps of this type are available, they can be used as the main light sources. The power of the luminous flux and its temperature will be appropriate by selecting suitable lamps as follows:
- for the living room: hanging lights in groups, replacing a chandelier ;
- for a bedroom: a low lamp as a wall light and a table lamp at the bedside;
- for the kitchen: suspended elements above the dining table or island unit.
In the bathroom, a pendant light will be located near the washbasin or mirror.
Types of pendant lamps and their characteristics
There are several types of pendant lamps, each with its own characteristics.
Classic pendant lamps: tradition and style
A classically styled pendant chandelier will emphasize the beauty of light. The luminous flux will be distributed throughout the room, creating soft shadows and a pleasing appearance. The lighting must be bright to highlight important details in the room. The color of the luminous flux will also be of great importance: warm shades create a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere and transform the space.
