PENDANT FIXTURES

Pendant fixtures can often be one of the most dramatic statements in a room due to their suspended nature, which often places them at or above eye level. When considering a pendant style, its often helpful to keep in mind the metal colors established throughout the rest of the design. From traditional multi-tiered, multi-arm chandeliers dripping with miles of crystal to simple Italian glass globes and shades in bright mono-chromatic hues, pendant fixtures can often establish a design statement through their clear visibility. When considering a pendant fixture for a space, keep in mind ceiling heights as well as traffic needs. Pendants hung over tables can often be accommodated, even in environments with very low ceiling heights, but should be avoided where travel in height challenged areas is necessary. With such a wide variety of styles available in a wide price range, pendant fixtures can be found in both incandescent and halogen formats, making it possible to introduce the crispness and clarity of halogen technology through these hanging pieces of art.
