Hallway Pendant Lights
The entrance hallway of your home is the first area of the house that people step into. It's a busy space with constant foot traffic as people come and go throughout the day. It also connects different rooms in the house. The light fittings in the hallway plays a crucial role in setting the overall ambiance of the house, so it should be practical and visually appealing at the same time.
Adding light fittings like pendant lights is a great option in making a statement in your hallway. Find one that grabs your attention and hang it up to instantly elevate the look of your space. These stylish ceiling lights work especially well in hallways with high ceilings.
Browse our Hallway Pendant Lights collection. Find styles that perfectly suit the style you wish to achieve, whether it leans towards the classic, mid-century, or cutting-edge modern lighting designs.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST HALLWAY PENDANT LIGHTS: SIZE, FINISHES, STYLES, AND INSTALLATION OPTIONS
- Purpose/Why: Like so many often disregarded areas of one’s home, the hallway is easy to overlook in the name of pragmatism. Point A to Point B is the task of the hallway, right? Not anymore. It’s time to step into the corridor and embrace the potential of adding yet another impeccable layer to your home’s appearance. For smaller stretches of hall, often a single, eye-catching chandelier or pendant feature will do the job; for larger areas with high ceilings – the sky is the limit. Along with artwork, framed prints, and various decorations, lighting is the keynote to a welcoming hallway. And it goes without saying, as with any matter pertaining to personal expression, there are no wrong choices.
- Size: Know the square footage of the hallway as well as the ceiling height (including vaulted and sloped ceilings) to help you make the best choice. Be mindful of all sizing dimensions including width, depth, height and even weight of a fixture you are interested in. Choose something that suits the height of a space and doesn't overwhelm it.
- Positioning: Consider the positioning of the pendant light and its effects on style, general lighting of the room as well as symmetry of design. Hallway lights should be eight feet apart, or less, especially if you have lower watt bulbs. You can also place the lights close to either end of the halls, as this will help brighten any dark corners.
- Colours: Look for pendant lights that will complement your existing colour palette. We have pendant lights available in a variety of colours including but not limited to black, white, grey, brass, gold, natural, and copper.
- Brightness: When considering hallway lighting, you should aim to set a warm and welcoming tone rather than a harsh, bright one.
- Lighting Function/Distribution:
- Downlight Lighting: Ideal when your room needs lots of direct, focused light as well as ambient light. Most common use.
- Ambient Lighting: Diffused non direct lighting
- Installation:
- Height: You will also need to consider how height affects style, safety and illumination, and the ease of installation and its maintenance. For example, if you plan to install in high ceilings, be sure you have all the necessary equipment and items before hiring an electrician. An electrician may have to hire scaffolding so it is highly advised that you check that all items are in working order and ready for installation before hiring a scaffold.
- Wiring: A pendant light often hangs by its own electrical cord, making the fixture itself fairly basic, distinguished mostly by color and size. The style of simple light depends on the shade, which can be chosen to match any decor, space or use.
- Bulb: Do a quick check of your hallway before you select your light bulbs - paint colors and finishes make a difference. If you have dark painted walls or a dark ceiling, you will need to add more light (more watts) since dark colours absorb light. If you have warm earth tone colours like brown, red, yellow or amber match it with a 2400K-2700K bulb. But, if you have cooler colours like purple, blue-green or blue make sure to go with a bulb in the 3000K range or higher. Choosing the right bulbs will emphasise the colour of the room and enrich it.
- Style/Feel: Choose pendant lights that mimic other design elements in your home. For a contemporary aesthetic, look for pendant lights with a classic design and opal white diffusers Zest Lighting offers a comprehensive collection of hallway pendant lights that can help create a warm and welcoming atmosphere with style.
- Materials: In addition to the style of the pendant light, you also need to consider the materials of the shade. The light shades come in many shapes and styles, but most will be made of either metal, glass, crystal, fabric or concrete. Natural materials like wood, bamboo, or rattan can also be popular materials for hallway pendant lighting which are available to shop at Zest Lighting.
- Maintenance: Hallways can be especially difficult places so consider how you can access your light fixtures safely and how you would clean the light and replace any bulbs - would a ladder and duster reach or would you need to hire a specialist cleaner?
