HOME DÉCOR OBSESSION: PENDANT LIGHTS

Lighting is one of the most import design elements in any room. Not only does it serve a vital function (making sure a room can be bright is key), but a beautiful fixture or lamp can instantly elevate your design and take it to the next level.

Recently we have both been making updates to our respective homes, and developed a bit of an obsession with pendant lights. Here is what we have found is so worth-while about using these lights …

They’re versatile — Whether you want soft and wide-reaching light or task lighting, there is a pendant light (and the right light bulb) for the job. Which means that you don’t have to sacrifice function for fashion.

You can buy them at a variety of price points — We have shopped many of them, and are here to tell you that you can get a gorgeous pendant fixture at a great price (more on that below). Don’t hesitate to settle for subpar lighting because you’re afraid that something more interesting is too expensive.

They come in every style — Whether you are into the industrial look, the modern look, or anything in-between, there is a pendant light that works.

Hanging them is also not as hard as you may think … Houzz has some great tips on how what height you should hang every kind of pendant light.
