Types of pendant lights

Mini pendants

Mini pendants are a small-scale version of regular pendant lights, emitting a gentler glow. These complement other light fixtures, or they can be installed in clusters.

Drum pendants

Drum pendants get their name from the drum-shaped lampshade encircling the lightbulb. Commonly used as a kitchen pendant light, these create a modern yet playful effect.

Multi-light pendants

A popular choice in Australia for large, open spaces or rooms with high ceilings. Smaller bundles of light are attached to a single fixture, usually a rod or a cord.

Globe pendants

These lights have a round shade encompassing the entire bulb, creating a globe-like shape. Some glass pendant lights of this kind have greater light emission.

Inverted Pendants

Inverted pendants include a bowl-shaped shade around the light, generally made of glass. Both traditional and contemporary styles are available.

Chandeliers

Dazzling and spectacular, traditional and modern chandeliers are the ultimate way to create a focal point in any room. A real statement piece for any home in Australia.

The advantages of high-quality pendant lights

High-quality pendant lights are a versatile lighting option, with different pendant lights to suit different styles or functions. For spaces that need extra illumination, such as study nooks and bathroom mirrors, high-quality drum pendants or globe pendants can provide a comfortable level of light while adding to the room’s ambience. Multi-light pendants are especially eye-catching, so they are often placed in dull areas to liven up the space. It is also common to install mini pendants in areas with art pieces and sculptures or to highlight architectural details. By choosing a high-quality option, you’ll ensure you have a fixture made from the best materials with stronger design credentials and greater long-term value and use.

How to choose pendant lights that are right for you

Because pendant lights occupy more space than regular ceiling lights, it’s important to choose lights that fit the room’s style. Modern rooms often benefit from sleek styles like globe lights or drum lights, while mini pendants and inverted pendants are quirkier options for a playful touch. The size of the fixture will change with each room and it’s important to keep proportions in mind when making your choice. Smaller rooms, for example, should avoid large light fixtures as they can make the ceiling appear lower than it actually is.
