But regardless of the reason for its popularity, it’s easy to see why these lights are looked upon so favorably. Pair them with caged chandeliers or caged wall sconces for cohesive home lighting, but they also shine brightly as solo stars where their unique composition can really stand out. Wherever and however you decide to implement these in your home, you’ll be rewarded with a unique light that’s just as practical as it is aesthetically pleasing.

So although it’s a good idea to measure both vertically and horizontally, the most important thing to consider is the actual size of the fixture. You may want to choose a large pendant to act as solo lighting, or several smaller pieces to hang in succession for a flawless lighting balance.

All while maintaining the same high-quality design principles that all of our lights feature.
