Architectural Pendant Lighting by Robert Sonneman

What lights are in style?
- - Currently, modern pendant lights are in style. They are versatile, enlivening, and provide a distinctive, unique style to any room. These lights are available in many shapes and sizes, as well as a wide range of styles from rustic to sleek and modern. Other popular lighting styles include mid-century modern, vintage, modern farmhouse, and crystal options. Whether your decor calls for industrial pendant lighting, traditional designs, contemporary pendant lighting, or a transitional blend of old and new, there is a variety of pendants to suit your needs.
Are pendant lights good for living room?
- - Pendant lights are an excellent choice for living rooms (as well as other rooms). They not only illuminate the space but also enhance the personality of the room. Hanging pendant lights over end tables makes for innovative, clean design and saves space. Using pendants, your lighting solution becomes a design statement for the room.
Are LED pendant lights good?
- - Versatile, energy-efficient, and practically maintenance-free, LED pendant lights are a great choice for your home. Available in a variety of finishes and colors temperatures, LED pendants are the perfect way to round out your space with a touch of sophistication, drama, charm -- whatever suits your personality and design choice.
How do I choose a kitchen pendant light?
- - When choosing a kitchen pendant light, consider the size of your kitchen space and layout. If you have an island, try to find a pendant that matches the size; large pendants above small islands can look imbalanced and act as a visual barrier in the space. If you use your kitchen island for food prep, consider a combination of pendants and recessed cans to provide adequate task lighting. Hanging a pendant light over the kitchen sink is also a popular option. Depending on your space, you can opt for a single large pendant or multiple smaller pendants, which can clustered, staggered, or arranged in a row.
