4-Light Pendant Light

What are the best places to use pendant lights in the home?

While there are examples of pendants used in every room, there are two distinct rooms and placements where they are very commonly used. Those placements are:

 

1. Kitchen

Specifically above peninsulas and islands. As kitchen islands grow in popularity, so too does the use of pendant lights. Pendant lights not only offer great light to counter surfaces, but they look great. The reason they work well over peninsulas and islands is you can’t walk in those areas so there’s no risk of bumping your head. Since they can look fabulous (in some cases be the star of a room), they’re a great option.

 

2. Dining Room

Specifically, pendant lights are ideal over dining room tables for the same reasons that they are really good above kitchen peninsulas and islands.

 

3. Foyer

Taller foyers offer a great opportunity to hang a chandelier, which is technically a type of pendant light. Mind you, 8 or 10-foot ceiling foyers aren’t ideal for a chandelier, but as more and more foyers are built with really tall ceilings, a chandelier or several pendant lights are a great option.
