Pendant Lights
Kitchen Pendant Lights in Australia
Pendant lights are statement pieces that immediately draw the eye in any space they are placed in. They are also highly functional and used specifically in spaces like your dining room and your kitchen.
Lighting is a tricky business. When it’s done well you hardly notice it at all, however, when it’s done poorly you can’t help but notice it. You can get very creative about where you hang your lights – whether it’s over your study desk or workspace, in a reading nook or meditation space.
Let us help you choose the best pendant lights in Australia for your space. Take a look through our stunning collection today to add just the right finishing touch to your interior spaces.
Choosing Your Pendant Lights in Australia
When you’re choosing kitchen or bathroom pendant lights, you want to ensure that you are choosing a style and design that fits in seamlessly with the rest of your decorative finishes, but which also manages to stand out just enough to be captivating.
There are a few things to consider when choosing pendant lights in Australia:
Purpose: The first question you need to answer when searching for bathroom or kitchen pendant lights is what is the purpose of the light? Will it be a bench pendant for hanging over the kitchen bench or are you looking for a multi-arm pendant for an entertaining space?
Brightness: If you want to highlight or accent particular areas, then consider installing a dimmer as well to capture just the right mood every time of day and night. You should also consider the colour and intensity of the bulb that you choose. Glass pendant lights, for example, can look absolutely fantastic with a high wattage globe in them and offer great task lighting. Modern pendants are sometimes better with lower wattage globes to double the effect of restrained and classy minimalism.
Size: Next is the size of the lights that you’re looking for. If you’re opting for a lantern or single chain pendant for the bathroom and over your bath, then you’ll need to be careful matching the light with the space available. Too large can clutter a space and make it look a lot busier than it needs to. When we’re talking chandeliers, we’re talking statement pieces. You don’t want to make too loud of a statement where perhaps a gentler crystal accent might have worked better.
Location: If you’re lighting a room with pendant lights, then you should space them evenly throughout a room to maximise their luminosity. For something a bit different, consider hanging them at different heights or making the height even but the colour of the pendants different. This is very do-able with cord pendant lights in copper, brass, black, white, etc.
How to Display Your Kitchen Pendant Lights
Clustering pendant lights together is a very effective way of generating the same accent as a chandelier, but with a more minimalist and restrained approach. You can highlight things like stairwells, polished concrete dining tables, as well as separate open planned living spaces very effectively.
A rise and fall light is a traditional Art Deco style light available in polished brass, nickel, chrome, antique silver, copper and bronze, and which celebrates simple geometric lines and crisp detailed finishes. They are simple in design so they can meld into any century styling of your choice. They work great for Bohemian styled spaces and can be matched easily with bold soft furnishings and carpets.
These as well as a range of other lights are all available to view online along with our other light options for both indoor and outdoor use.
