Lighting isn’t only about illuminating, it is equally about adding zing to a subtle interior. This is why the pendant lights are the new darlings of interior decorators all over the world. They light up the interior by the sheer charm of their design. Here is what you should keep in mind while selecting and installing pendant lights:
What purpose do the pendant lights solve?
Pendant lights are drop down lights, usually hung from the ceiling. They are best for areas where you require direct light, like, A dining table placed under a high ceiling.
You can add a dimmer to pendant lights to control the illumination.
Where to install the pendant lights?
Do not select pendant lights just for the sake of selection. Sight of lights hanging down from the ceiling may be a distracting one for a smaller room. They are best suited for larger rooms, that have slight open feel to them. They are great ambient lighting alternatives.
Do pendant lights suit different light requirements?
Absolutely. Like many other lights, pendant lights too have various options. Depending on your requirements, you would have a wide variety to choose from. The skull of a pendant light isn’t made of different material for nothing. It affects the amount of light it emits. A pendant light with fabric shades makes the light diffuse through the shade, thus giving a soft glow. Such lights are best for dining or entertainment areas. If you want to select a pendant light for study area you should go for glass shades. Light filters through the glass shades easily, it also lets the light reflect and refract thus creating a brighter and more concentrated effect.
How to choose the pendant light for your home?
1. If you want pendant lights just for the aesthetics, select well crafted shades with deep aesthetic value.
2. If you want pendant lighting for higher ceilings, select the ones that can be hanged a little low.
3. For too high portions, like, the middle of staircase roll, pendant lights with longer extensions may be required.
4. Whenever you hang a pendant light, make sure that it is hung at least 60-70 centimeters above the table.
