Chandeliers and pendants don’t only look good when the light is on; they add an attractive focal point to a room even when the light is off. Choose from clean and simple fixtures to intricate and elegant designs.
These architectural-style light fixtures are a great way to showcase your style and provide a practical way to light the room. Consider these points when choosing your next pendant or chandelier.
Chandeliers and pendants suspend from the ceiling by a chain, cord, or rod. Their differences come from the size of the fixture and how it is designed. Here are a few key differences between pendants and chandeliers.
What Is a Chandelier?
A chandelier is the largest type of indoor lighting. Chandeliers suspend from the ceiling rather than taking up floor space. They provide enough energy to light up a room while acting as a centerpiece.
Chandeliers are generally larger than pendants and are meant to stand out with extravagant shapes, materials, and finishes. Modern chandeliers are versatile in design, making it easy to blend in with your style aesthetics.
With a space-saving design that extends from the ceiling, chandeliers are perfect additions to living rooms, entryways, bars, and even a primary bedroom.

What Is a Pendant?
Pendants suspend from the ceiling and are known for having only a single bulb, though multi-light pendants are growing in popularity. They project light downward and are hung in a row to provide task-oriented light. They are also smaller than chandeliers and generally have a simple shape.
Pendants are perfect additions to kitchens, bars, bedrooms, and outdoor patio spaces.

What To Look For in a Chandelier or Pendant
Consider the finish, shade types, height, and dimensions when planning your next lighting upgrade. It is essential to think beyond what simply looks good and focus on what the goal and function of the light itself will be.
Lighting Finishes
Lighting fixtures come in a variety of materials and finishes that add visual interest with subtle colors and details. Here are some common lighting finishes:
•
Metals like brushed nickel, polished chrome, polished brass, and oil-rubbed bronze provide a rich warmth or a clean, durable finish.
•
Crystal or blown glass adds sparkle and flair to your space by refracting the light and spreading it in a cheery glow.
•
Painted or enamel surfaces tend to blend into your space, giving a low-profile glow to your room.
•
Wood, stone, antlers, or other natural materials look great with rustic or casual decor that ties in with natural accents or furniture.
Light Shade Types
Use a light shade to provide a beautiful design feature while protecting your eyes from the glare of the fixture. There are different materials, shapes, and colors available for your light shade.
Here are some common light shade types you may find:
Clear Glass
Seeded Glass
Etched Glass
Colored Glass
Frosted Glass
Crystal
Fabric
Acrylic
Metal
Chandelier & Pendant Size
Chandeliers and pendants come in unique shapes and sizes. The size of the room, the light needed, and how many fixtures you need factor into your decision on the dimensions and height of your lighting.
Consider the diameter of the fixture, the size needed based on your room’s dimensions, and how high the fixture needs to hang.
How To Hang a Chandelier or Pendant
Over a Table
You want your pendant or chandelier light to sit in the middle of your table without covering more than one-half to three-quarters of the table width. You also don’t want your lighting fixture to hang any lower than 30 to 36 inches above the table.
Over a Kitchen Island or Bar
Similar to over a table, leave 30 to 36 inches between the bottom of the fixture and the table surface. If you are hanging multiple pendants, leave 30 inches between them for ample space.
In the Middle of a Room
Choose a chandelier that matches the scale of the room. A general rule of thumb for chandeliers is that the higher the ceiling height, the bigger the chandelier.
In an Entryway
When hanging in your entryway, follow the same rule as a living room. Add the width and length of the space in feet and choose a similar diameter lighting fixture in inches. Generally, you will not want your fixture to hang any lower than 7 feet from the ground to allow plenty of space.
Pro Tip
An easy tip for matching the chandelier to the ceiling height is to add up the length and width of the room in feet, then use that total in inches as the diameter of the chandelier.
For example, if your room is 14 feet wide and 16 feet long, 30 inches would be the best diameter for your lighting fixture.
Pick the Best Chandelier or Pendant
Consider Your Placement
Is there enough space in the room you would like your chandelier or pendant to hang? Are there any surfaces or other features of the room that would interfere with the fixture? The ceiling height should be measured to see where the lighting fixture will fall.
Consider Materials & Maintenance
Chandeliers and pendants easily retain dust, so you will want to consider maintenance when picking the perfect fit. Are they easy to detach and clean, or will the maintenance be more complicated?
Consider Your Style
Consider your design preferences when picking a chandelier or pendant. Whether you prefer shades, crystals, or rustic charm, there will be a lighting fixture to match.
