Clustered lighting used to be the remit of hospitality settings. Gracing the ceilings of bars, restaurants, and hotels, these lights made an astonishing style statement. But it wasn’t one that many of us considered for our homes. That many lights would be expensive. The wiring would be a nightmare to sort out. The whole thing felt highly impractical. But designers caught onto the interest and the trend. New formats were developed. And suddenly cluster pendants lights are the home lighting look that everyone wants. So, how and where should you use them?
How and Where to Use Cluster Pendant Lights
What are cluster pendant lights?
The term cluster pendant lights is used to describe lights that are grouped together. But they can come in a variety of forms. Some hang all at the same level, like the Geometric Pendant Bar. Others have more of an abstract feel, with lights held at a range of different heights. Then you have cluster lights that take a spiralling form, like the Paloma. And others where hooks are used to spread the bulbs across the ceiling, allowing for wider illumination. They all have a unique appeal, and can be used beautifully in different places.
Where can you use cluster pendant lights?
Cluster lighting can work wonderfully in a range of scenarios. It’s just a case of choosing the right height of light for the space you have and the look you are aiming for.
Dining room
In the dining room, one of the most popular aesthetics is a low-hanging cluster light above the centre of your table. But you have to give it careful consideration, because you don’t want to dazzle any diners. A shaded light can bring that gentle ambient lighting and aesthetic interest. While the varied colours of the Courtney bring more of a festive feel – you just need to hang it slightly higher, to avoid the light catching anyone’s eyes.
Breakfast bar
For breakfast bars, linear designs like the Endon Stellan, are a popular choice. Creating a stunning visual while providing a practical lighting solution, they deliver well-dispersed ambient lighting exactly where it is needed. Another option, if you’re looking for more of a clustered affect, would be to choose three lights like the Rocklyn, and space them evenly above your breakfast bar.
Hallway
In the hallway, where brighter light is often welcome, something like the Endon Harbour light, with its seven bubbled glass orbs, can work brilliantly well. Creating a dramatic welcome for all comers. Or, if you looking for a splash of colour to brighten a smaller hallway, the Endon Niro could provide the perfect aesthetic.
Clustered pendant lighting never fails to impress. Regardless of the style or colour you choose, it can brighten any room and deliver unmitigated style. Helping to elevate your lighting from a purely practical consideration into a stunning visual statement.
