Polished Nickel Pendants by Robert Abbey

Modern Pendant Lighting

Versatile and enlivening, pendant lighting illuminates your space and provides distinctive, unique style. Pendant lights are available in many shapes and sizes, as well as a wide range of styles from rustic pendants lights to sleek and modern. Pendant lighting is a great way to enhance the personality of any room.

Pendants hung over dining room tables are a popular alternative to chandeliers, and kitchen island pendant lighting has become a design standard in many modern homes. A single large pendant works well in either setting, as do multiple smaller pendants, especially when clustered, staggered or arranged in a row. If the kitchen island is used for food prep, recessed cans provide adequate task lighting that pairs well with your pendants. Track lighting or monorail are also options here, capable of supporting both heads, used for task lighting, and decorative pendant lights.

Hanging pendant lights over bedroom night stands makes for innovative, clean design and saves space on the tabletops. Entryway lighting becomes a statement with pendants hung in a foyer. Pendant lighting for outdoor settings is also available; for a thoughtful touch, suspend pendants at a front door from a porch ceiling.
