Go Geometric
Looking to add some angles to an otherwise soft space? Add a geometric pendant light. A pendant light that's surrounded by a square or trapezoidal cage provides an easy modern touch to any room.
Try All Natural
Boho-Chic Jute Ambience Pendant Light
A pendant light sheathed in reeds or wicker can bring in a tropical or bohemian touch to the room, especially in an airy, colorful space. For a subtler earthy look, pick a woven wicker rather than a grassy-looking texture.
Try a Minimalist Look
Forgo any lamp shades or covers entirely and pick a pendant light that's just the bulbs. This stark modern look works well in mid-century style homes or ultra-contemporary spaces.
Go for Tall and Skinny
Alabaster Cylindrical Pendant Light
Not all pendant lights need to be some form of a circle—they can be narrow cylinders too. A narrower pendant light looks best alongside other narrow pendant lights, or as a standalone light fixture in a small hallway or half-bath.
Don't Forget Candles
Modern Industrial Forged-Iron Pendant Light
Not only can pendant lights provide the traditional bulb-and-socket style light, but they can also provide a faux-candle style light. This style of pendant light makes your living room feel 10x cozier, but without having to worry about any kind of live flame.
