How to choose a pendant light?
Unlike baroque or vintage pendant lights, which were often quite rustic, many modern models are highly artistic. Others have a sleek, minimalist look. Your choice of modern pendant lights will therefore depend on your preferences regarding materials, color, and size for each room!
Choosing a pendant light by material
- Metal: Used for both indoor and outdoor lighting, metal is durable and can be crafted into all kinds of shapes. Metal pendant lights, including wall lamps, ceiling lights, and chandeliers, immediately bring to mind industrial design. Today, however, you can create a highly stylish retro lantern or porthole-style light using aluminum structures or black lacquered metal. This creates a very modern and sophisticated look in your interior. This is especially true if the inside of the lampshade is made of silver-gray or gold-colored chrome metal! The accent lighting will cast a soft, subdued glow that you will enjoy.
- Glass: Also an ancient material, glass was used in bygone eras and continues to be reinvented today in increasingly elaborate designs. Blown glass, in particular, can be used to create round, tubular, or square shapes that can be combined with other materials such as wood, polycarbonate, or copper. The result is highly artistic! Glass-based Art Deco lighting creates beautiful light effects and elegant contrasts between materials.
- Wood: Whether in traditional or modern models, wood suits all tastes! Designers create sculptures incorporating bright LED spotlights that can be adjusted with a switch. Recent dimmable technology allows you to vary the light color according to your mood, as well as the light intensity (in watts). You can therefore find openwork wooden pendant lights shaped like rounded cages made of rattan, or more minimalist models. These include triangular or oval pendant lights that create a warm atmosphere and soft, warm-toned indirect lighting.
- Plastic: Introduced in various forms in France starting in the 1960s, plastic quickly became part of interior and exterior decoration. Durable and easy to maintain, it is ideal for lighting pathways and the walls of a house near the entrance.
Where to install a modern metal pendant light?
- Above the dining table: Enjoy it with the whole family! Ambient lighting, like an island of light above your children's heads while they dine, creates a relaxed atmosphere. For this, a bamboo chandelier or a pendant light made of beige wood combined with metal can be a great decor idea for a children's pendant light.
- In the bathroom: The goal is to illuminate the room so that the light allows you to apply makeup or style your hair with precision. Choose pendant lights, wall lamps, or adjustable spotlights that make this possible.
- In the bedroom: The ultimate place for relaxation, the bedroom is an ideal location for a beautiful pendant light. Make sure the light is soft and that the bulb does not shine too brightly or dazzle you!
