Italian Pendant Lighting

Italian Pendant Lights

To bring a specific look to the home that mirrors a culture, consider Italian design. World-renown for some of the top brands in cars, handbags and clothing, Italian design also impresses with lighting fixtures. Italian Pendant Lights, in more recent times, have taken on a minimalist or simple approach. Many options are basic, but no less appealing, using neutral tones and natural materials to allow them to work well with a range of home styles and rooms. An uncommon material, concrete, is used frequently in Italian design, meaning the room can obtain a more unique look that stands out from other homes and spaces with the use of concrete. The simple designs and uses of common materials such as glass and metal mean these pieces can be mixed and matched with other styles and fixtures to elevate the entire room. After all, Italian design is more about elevating the room rather than marking it with a distinct style such as industrial or farmhouse.

Other Considerations

Italian Pendant Lighting, like other fixtures, need to be measured to make sure they fit into the room. If the incorrect size is chosen, the piece may clash with the room by being too large or too small. In particular, in the kitchen fixtures such as Italian glass lighting shine especially well. They can be mounted and hang from the ceiling as a single unit or in groups or in a linear fashion over places such as a kitchen counter or kitchen island. Pendants can also be placed in a foyer, down a hallway, or even under a covered patio (as long the location rating allows for it).

If an Italian pendant is working really well in the room and throughout the home, consider adding more Italian pieces such as an Italian wall sconce. A sconce brings another layer of light to the space without taking up too much wall real estate. A wall sconce also provides an accent light, and if the particular piece can dim, they are particularly well at providing a certain tone or mood depending on time of day or event, or allowing for more light if the situation requires it.
