The use of pendant lights are not only a want, but a need. “With the height of the ceiling, particularly in tall hallways or large rooms, you need something that hangs down to make the proportion of the room feel more intimate and human,”.
When hanging pendant lights, you’ll want to be aware of the ceiling height, the function of the lighting and what sits below the fixture. The lower the pendant, the more concentrated and direct the light will be—plus, it’ll make more of a statement as the room’s focal point. Higher-placed pendants provide a wider, gentler light projection, and contribute to a more casual feel.
