Pendant Lighting: Our Top 10 Picks

September 17, 2018
Fin Horizontal Pendant from Original BTC

The infinite options of gorgeous pendant lights can be overwhelming, but we’re here to narrow it down for you. We all have different lighting needs according to our style preferences and to the natural light already existing in each room. Some pendant fixtures are task lights that illuminate your workspace, while others are simply accent or decorative lights.

We’ve put together a list of our favorite fixtures that will help you find what height, size, and style pendant lighting is perfect for your space!

Add a touch of shine to your space with this truly one-of-a-kind Pia Pendant from Aidan Gray. The glass finish is achieved by different chemical reactions and by baking the product at 500 degrees, meaning no two will be identical.
