Copper Pendant Lighting

Why We Love Copper Pendant Lighting

Copper has been in use for 10,000 years or more for architecture, in its brass alloy form for musical instruments and in a variety of other uses. With its reddish-orange hue and its characteristic shine, copper lighting brightens the home in more ways than one. Copper pendant lights bring together timeless beauty and durable utility, resulting in a home lighting choice that is just as attractive as it is effective. The lovely coloring alone gives copper pendant lighting an eternally chic appearance that elevates the look and feel of your home. Copper hanging lights add a classy accent to your home while providing illumination where you need it most.

Where Copper Pendant Lighting Works Best

The beautiful sheen of copper makes it a coveted choice in lighting finishes for just about any place in the home. Copper pendant lighting works especially well over a dining table in your dining room or eat-in kitchen. Likewise, pendant lights also nicely illuminate your countertops, a kitchen island or a butcher block. In a family room, finished basement or recreational area, copper hanging lights offer superb task lighting for a reading corner, card table, wet bar or other special space. Copper lighting can brighten your bedroom with an attractive fixture above a sitting area or on either side of your bed--consider it as a traditional gift to mark your seventh anniversary.

Copper Pendant Light Ideas for Every Style

The captivating color of copper pendant lights lends itself to your home's overall design scheme. Consider expertly modern designs by London's Tom Dixon, featuring ultra smooth surfaces and an approving nod to geometry at its finest. Like dessert for the eyes, Feiss Lighting offers copper hanging lights inspired by something sweet that you'll be sure to recognize when you see it. Another ideal option with a noticeably Scandinavian aesthetic, Lightyears features copper pendant lighting influenced by eastern architecture with a modernist flavor. Lastly, complete a traditional look with a pendant by ELK Lighting.

How to Choose the Best Copper Pendant Lighting

You can find copper hanging lights to coordinate with just about any existing theme and color scheme of your favorite rooms, further infusing your personal sense of style into the look and feel of your home. Be sure to determine the appropriate diameter for your fixture. Do so by measuring the length and width of the room, adding the values together and finding pendant lights with diameters measuring that number in inches. Also ensure that the fixture's cord is long enough, particularly if you choose to hang your pendant in a room with a two-story ceiling.

Simpler times still ring true with farmhouse pendant lights that convert vintage styles into uniquely current lighting designs for your home. The many styles of modern and traditional copper lighting enhance the mood of the room while adding plenty of brilliant light for all your needs. And once your lighting is all picked out, consider placing it on a dimmer switch to control its output and set the mood of any given room.
