Modern lighting is about clean form and considered material. These ideas show how to use pendants across the home.
Go linear over tables and desks
A slim bar such as the Arden gives a crisp, architectural line over a dining table or desk.
Use glass for depth
A glass dome like the Solen in smoked grey or amber adds a soft tint and a contemporary edge.
Add one sculptural shape
An organic form such as the Kumo softens a room of straight lines.
Cluster at different heights
Odd numbers of pendants at varied drops create rhythm over an island or stairwell.
Keep the palette calm
Neutral stone, black metal and warm glass sit well with most modern interiors. See our Japandi lighting guide for a warmer take, and our pendant lights to shop.
