Traditional Pendant Lights

Traditional and classic pendant lights are featured in various shapes, going from curled shapes to classic round chandeliers. Nowadays, they are also found in more tight shapes, for instance with balls. When thinking about classic hanging lights, we see that classic chandeliers with crystals are very popular. The crystals are hung on small cables and ensure a nice reflection of the light. They are also combined with leaves. A classic pendant light with fabric lamp shades is also among the possibilities. Candle lamps are much used in these.

The understated elegance of traditional and classic pendant lighting is a pleasure to behold and a perfect way to give your space an inviting period look. Classic period decorating can add a warm, inviting look to a home. With traditional details ranging from Tiffany style glass to crystal accents, these classics are a great fit for turn-of-the-century homes and new construction alike.

Mount classic pendants over a bar, game table or kitchen island. Add aesthetically pleasing elements with a functional light source. Get elegance and practicality with classic pendant lights.

TRADITIONAL PENDANT LIGHTS: VINTAGE AND CLASSIC

If you are wondering what a traditional lighting fixture is, these fittings are usually fancier or more elaborate in nature. They feature intricate details and a well-thought-out design that draws inspiration from classic architectural styles. These lights have the power to bring sophistication, warmth, elegance, and opulence to any room.

Classic options are perfect for antique rooms that may have a generous amount of wooden furniture and grand paintings. This creates an ambiance reminiscent of a majestic residence with a nostalgic touch. Traditional lighting fixtures are far from boring or lacklustre—they can be art pieces that provide illumination for both traditional interiors and even modern living spaces.

INSPIRED BY 18TH AND 19TH CENTURY

The traditional design is a timeless style inspired by 18th and 19th-century European decor. If you appreciate classic art pieces, antique items, symmetry, and other historical design elements, you should consider traditional designs. While traditional light fittings may seem out of place in ultra-modern interiors, they can still be incorporated sparingly for contrast. However, they are most commonly used in traditional homes and offices.

TRADITIONAL VS MODERN

Traditional pendant lights tend to be more formal or ornate. These refined lighting fixtures feature intricate details and thoughtful designs that add sophistication, warmth, and richness to a space. Unlike modern design, which embraces minimalism, traditional design focuses on ornate patterns and abundant detail.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST TRADITIONAL PENDANT LIGHTS FOR YOUR HOME: SIZE, FINISHES, STYLES, AND INSTALLATION OPTIONS

With so many traditional pendant lights to choose from, selecting the right one can be challenging. Consider these key factors when making your decision:

Purpose: Most traditional pendant lights are primarily used as decorative pieces that inject style into traditional or federation-style homes. They are commonly placed in dining rooms, hallways, bedrooms, and kitchens.
Size: Know the square footage of the room and ceiling height to help make the best choice. Consider all sizing dimensions, including width, depth, height, and weight. Also, factor in tiers, candles, and arms of the fitting and their impact on the space.
Positioning: Ensure the placement of the traditional pendant light enhances the overall design, symmetry, and lighting of the room.
Colours: Choose pendant lights that complement your existing colour palette. Traditional fittings often feature bold and timeless colours such as brass, clear glass, and bronze.
Brightness: The ideal lumen count for ambient lighting depends on the space’s square footage. As a general guide, per 10 square metres, a room requires about 250–400 total lumens.
Light Colour: The colour temperature of lights is another important factor. The three main options include cool white, warm white, and neutral white. Cool white is often used in modern settings, whereas warm white is more suitable for creating ambient lighting.
Installation Height, Assembly, and Ease of Installation: When installing pendant lights, consider maintenance and accessibility. If the fixture is being installed on high ceilings, ensure all necessary equipment is ready before hiring an electrician. Also, factor in how the fixture will be cleaned or maintained over time.
Lighting Function:
- Uplight Lighting: Directs light upwards, providing soft, ambient illumination.
- Downlight Lighting: Ideal for spaces requiring direct, focused lighting.
- Ambient Lighting: Diffused lighting that enhances the overall atmosphere of a room.
Accessory Availability and Warranty: Check for warranty details, accessory availability, and ease of installation before purchasing a pendant light.
