Contemporary Pendant Lighting

Which Pendant Light is your favorite? I really can’t pick! Aren’t they absolutely stunning? I did some reading and want to share my notes with you..

Contemporary pendant lighting comes in three types – mono-point, multi-point and mono-rail.  Mono-point, as the name suggests, is a single light fixture, and multi-point is more than one light fixture that is attached to the same power point. Mono-rail is similar to track lighting.  Depending on your style, room size, and functionality, you should consider choosing one of above three types.

Make sure the room gets ample light. For example, a pendant light above the dining room should be centered so that light spreads all over the table. Monorail pendants should be turned to where the light is needed. You can add additional recess lighting to supplement the pendants.

Pendant height should be approximately between 28 to 34 inches above the dining table or the counter-top. Most latest pendants come with LED bulbs, which is energy efficient, try to avoid incandescent light bulbs if you can.

Ultimately, this update to your kitchen or dining room should be functional and enhance the style of your home. Look forward to hearing from you!

  1. Thank you for sharing the information.

    Decorating a home or office needs lot of things like furniture, flowers, lights and many more things. Like furniture, lights are also playing a parallel role in decorating a home which not only lit the house with soft light but, also helps to work peacefully and comfortably.

    There are many shops who are providing the service of lighting and while surfing on internet, I came across a site named as Animadomus who is providing the service of contemporary lights in Miami.

  2. I love these. I bought a cool light called an artichoke lamp. If you like funky pendant lamps I guarantee you will like it. I found mine at Manhattan Home Design.

  3. Hi,
    Pendants, and decorative lighting in general, are part of an overall lighting plan. Pendants lights are available in all shapes and sizes. It is a bold design and has a strong presence in the room. Thanks…

  4. The pendant lights look great but sometimes, they are just too dim. If you really want to light up your place, you should use fluorescent light instead.

  5. Great post! The Mono-point Contemporary Pendants remind me the 60s Bollywood movies. Good memories and will really be awesome to have some at home to remind of the good times.
