The pendant in your life

If you’ve never used the word “pendant” to describe a lamp, you’re not the only one. Most people would probably call the lamps suspended over their dining tables and coffee tables or in their hallway or their rooms “ceiling lamps”, but the correct term for a lamp that hangs from your ceiling on a wire is actually a “pendant”. A ceiling lamp is a lamp that’s attached to the ceiling itself – the kind of lamp we tend to have in our bathrooms. So there’s actually a difference between the two.

Now that definitions are out of the way, let’s talk about pendants! A lovely pendant lamp is a must-have in any home! The right lamp has a wow factor and creates a unique expression in any room just by being present. Are you the minimalist kind of person who likes a comfortable light that blends into your décor without stealing attention? Or are you the type who prefers big and interesting lamps that are practically a piece of furniture in and of themselves? It isn’t necessarily easy to find the right pendant, but this article will offer you some popular suggestions for pendants for your home – the pendant in your life!

Blown from &tradition is a lovely and elegant lamp with a quilted look that adds something extra to your table, living room or kitchen island. The pendant was designed by Samuel Wilkinson who based the concept on the idea of seeing the world through a filter, inspired by old bottles, antique lamps, lighthouses and ceramics.

Blown is available in silver, which enables a transparent view of the bulb, and opal, which helps provide an efficient and comfortable light.

Coloured glass and a side twist – that’s the recipe behind the Ballroom pendant from Design By Us (and a recipe for great success, as it is). The pendant is manufactured using hand-blown glass and has a decorative edge.

The Ballroom pendant has Art Deco-esque looks that makes it the perfect fit for the modern home, where a bit of edge is a good thing.
