Black Pendant Lights – 20 of the Best
With plenty of lighting trends leaning towards lighter, more natural colours, there is still a very large place in our homes and hearts for the classic black pendant light. Don’t be put off by any perceived gloominess or masculinity, when it comes to black lights the opportunities to bring life and light to your interior spaces are endless.
Available in a wide variety of designs, shapes, and sizes, they can be used for both functional and decorative purposes. Here are a few things worth considering when looking for your ultimate black pendant light.
Style First
The best black pendant light for your space will depend on your personal style and the overall aesthetic of the room. With popular designs ranging from minimalist geometric shapes, Scandinavian functionality, industrial-inspired metal designs or sleek, modern glass pendants, there is a design out there for all.
Materials Matter
As well as choice in style, there is choice in material. Black pendant lights can be made from a variety of materials, such as metal, glass, or even rattan. Consider the durability, maintenance, and overall aesthetic of the material before making the selection that is best for your space.
Size is Everything
Consider the size of the pendant light in relation to the space it will be used in. A larger pendant light can be a statement piece, while a smaller one can be used in multiples to create a cohesive look. Also consider the height and placement of the pendant light. It should be hung at a height that is appropriate for the space and still provide adequate lighting.
Lighting the Dark
Darker coloured shades tend to absorb more light, resulting in less light output than their lighter-coloured counterparts. A black shade may create a more subdued or moody lighting effect in a room with a warmer yellow light, rather than the cooler colour emitted from a lighter shade. Therefore, your choice of black shade should be made based on the desired mood and functionality of the space.
