Pendant lamp accessories offer a way to personalize your light fittings. These can be anything from simple lampshades to decorative self-assembly lighting pieces and even elegant marble and glass lamps. They are an easy way to update your ceiling lights without any invasive electrical work and they don’t require professional installation.
Pendant shades can be made out of various materials, and they are usually a shade that completely covers the bulb. Some shades are entirely opaque and diffuse light, while others may have a printed design or painted image on the inside of them.
Often seen hanging in a row over a kitchen island or over a hallway, pendant lighting is not only an excellent source of illumination, but also a great way to add visual interest and decor. Many people choose to hang several of them in a row for an impressive effect.
In addition to a wide array of pendant style light fixtures, we carry many additional accessories that will enhance the lighting in your home. We have everything from candle holders and decorative trunks to themed bookends and picture frames, so you can create a unique and unified look in your home.
We stock a number of different types of lamp shades, from classic and traditional designs to contemporary styles. We have the classic square and rectangular designs as well as rounded, bell-shaped shades and other shapes. These can be crafted out of any material, and they can be painted or embellished with designs and paintings to fit your home’s interior aesthetic.
There are also a number of shades that have an open top, and these can be fashioned out of any material, including fabric, paper, or glass. Some people opt for lampshades with a print or painted image on the inside of them, while others go with a simple and neutral shade that will blend with the color of their walls.
These can be hung in an even row down the length of a hallway for a timeless look. They are also ideal for a foyer or a room that needs to be well lit but doesn’t have a lot of space for larger fixtures.
They are especially good for kitchens, as they can provide a consistent and uniform illumination over your counters or island, as well as in your dining area. They also make a great complement to the light fixture over your breakfast bar, or wherever you need more task lighting.
Another type of lamp shade is the inverted style, which has its face curved towards the ceiling instead of straight down like a traditional lampshade. This prevents sharp glare and gives a more soothing, relaxing atmosphere. Inverted pendants can be used in a variety of spaces, but they are particularly popular over a pool table or game room, where the light can shine close-up without obscuring the action.
When it comes to placing pendants, a common rule of thumb is that they should be placed 30” to 36” above the surface they are mounted over. This will allow you to get the best possible lighting without compromising any of the design elements in your space.
