Industrial Style Pendant Lights
Traditional glass pendant lights are very petite and work as targeted accent lights that are often designed to blend into the background. Installing a large, hefty light over a kitchen island instead will draw the eye to the space, visually anchoring the island and giving it a place of importance in the kitchen. But many traditional large fixtures – like chandeliers – are a little too ornate for the average contemporary home. Industrial inspired fixtures offer the same size and weight, but without the pomp and circumstance; they’re often done in weathered finishes, and made out of simple materials without a lot of embellishment. The details that are there are often functional ones – like pulleys, retractable arms, or accordion style frames – which have a charmingly old fashioned feel, but add practical functionality and a very down to earth look and feel.
