What you need to know about pendant lights
Pendant lamps and chandeliers have become more and more popular not only because of their fashionable appearance, but also because of their practical style. If you’d rather have the walls of your house decorated with some visual art like paintings or photographs, if you’d rather buy tall furniture because you simply enjoy having more space to move around, then you should considerate choosing pendant lights for your home, in order to keep your walls “clean”.
There are a few aspects you need to think about when doing so. Think about your preferences, in the first place, and then think about your budget. Yes, I said “preferences” in the first place because there are so many options offered by the fabrics, that you could buy about whatever type of pendant light at a reasonable price. If you can’t afford gold or crystal, I gladly inform you that the most successful designers would use glass, aluminium and silicone for their products, which turn out to be really attractive and modern. More than that, the built-in LEDs favourise your lamp’s long life and safe operation, not to mention the incredibly low power consumption. Other materials that designers love to pick are polypropylen, steel, chrome, nickel and silver. Plexiglass can look very stylish and refined as well, if the design of the lamp is artfully realized. My most favourite characteristic of contemporary pendant lights is that they are able to emanate the air of your taste in decorations, it doesn’t matter if you prefer the classic, the epoch or the modern style, designers can make it happen. Maybe you should take a look at a few exhibitions in your local area or online – here the variety is a lot wider – and convince yourself.
Here are the names of a few talented designers that could inspire you to pick your favourite pendant lamp:
Arturo Alvarez, Hector Serrano, Marc Gabarra, Kinglong, Alberto Nason, Anna Tenje and Ilmari Tapiovaara.
Ways to browse for the most suitable lamp:
If you actually visit an exhibition, you have no other option than taking the risk of returning home without the desired object. But the good part is that most shops have an online version where you can see their products being exposed on web pages. When trying to find what suits you best, you can filter your search by several criteria : finish, style, type, wattage, voltage. The style would be the most appealing trait among the others, and here you’ll be shown another wide variety of styles: european style, american style, country, contemporary, rustic, traditional, tropical, victorian..and what not.
When it comes to shapes, designers think about bringing the cosmos on the ceiling of your room, making UFO’s fly around, making your lamp “invisible”, manufacturing grapevines for your house, giving your living-room the look of a club and so on. Who wouldn’t like to have a moon in their bedroom, or a torch, the terrestrial globe, maybe a camouflage lamp? They’re all lovely and worth of every cent you’d spend.
