Bohemian Pendant Lighting & Hanging Lights

Boho Pendant Light

If looking for an unconventional touch to the interior of the home, consider decorating the rooms in a bohemian style. Created and embraced by people looking for something outside of the normal styles and design trends, bohemian décor is marked by the use of natural materials, ranges of colors, and arrangements of lighting, furniture and accessories.

A pendant light can often become a focal point of a room, especially when grouped in a linear arrangement such as over a kitchen island, counters or a dining room table. Bohemian Lighting will use the natural materials and eclectic design to further stand out, tying the room together. Boho Pendant Lighting can be identified with a common use of natural materials such as rattan weave, a rope-like materials made of palm. Other materials include the use of beads, which often either hang from various points on a boho pendant light or drape below in long strands. The put-together look of these materials alongside traditional materials such as glass, metal and wood create a personal touch in the home that stands out from typical décor choices.

Other Considerations

Bohemian pendant lighting must be measured to fit into the room, although there is an argument for the piece not fitting in the room. A typical fixture will clash with the room if too big or too small, but clashing is an appealing part of bohemian style, so whether the pendant works for the space will larger depend on the individual. If trying to make an open-air outdoor space, make sure the pendant chosen has the correct location rating. If water exposure is a possibility, make sure the piece has a wet rating. If water will be nearby, but not in direct contact, a damp rating will suffice.

Bohemian style is strengthened by the choice of pieces, the number of fixtures in the room, and the free-spirited nature of the designer. To complete the look in the home, consider adding more eclectic choices. Mixing various materials, introducing more colors to the room or matching with pieces throughout history to create a worldly look in the room.
