Pendant lights are so versatile. They can update a space instantly and are great for illuminating a kitchen island, breakfast nook, bar or even a bathroom sink. Used over a desk they allow for more work space. Place a pendant alone or in multiples. Did you know you can get filament light bulbs at Home Depot to finish off many of these industrial-type looks? Here are some less expensive, but stylish options. — Mary Ann from classic•casual•home
These pendants are made of blown glass and brass with a hand-rubbed bronze finish. Three of these would look great over a kitchen bar or kitchen table— very cool.
I love this black matte solid brass pendant. Can you see two or three over a kitchen island? This is one of the more costly lights that I'll be showing you, but it's worth it.
This school house pendant is timeless, but could give your kitchen a modern/industrial look too. It comes with a 10-foot cord that can be cut down to work with high or lower ceilings.
Converting your recessed lights to rattan hanging pendants is as easy as changing a light bulb. I'd like to see these going down a hallway. The cord length is adjustable.
My designer friend has these over her workspace. You can easily raise and lower them as needed. They are designed after the antique lamps that once lit workshops in Paris. I would have a hard time choosing between the metal or ivory ceramic finishes.
