Curved Pendant Lighting

Why We Love Curved Pendant Lights

Whether the light is tightly coiled or adorned with simple yet graceful slopes, curved pendant lighting is stylish and elegant. The playful dance of curves engages the eye without being overwhelming, and the sophisticated silhouettes make a stylish statement. And, although some are quite literally curved, other fixtures take a more playful approach using rounded accents or curvy patterns to get their message across. With styles ranging from ultra-contemporary to ornate and traditional, curved ceiling lights are the perfect way to elevate your home’s decor in one simple step.

Where Curved Pendant Lights Work Best

If you’re bringing a curved light into your home, you’ll want to place it where it will be noticed. This delicate design works well above kitchen islands and in grand foyers where it will be the first thing you notice when you enter the room. And, if you want exotic living room lighting or a unique and surprising home office fixture, curved pendant lights are also a great choice. If you have a large enough space, consider hanging several of them but know that you won’t need multiples to make a stylistic impact. These lights can change the entire look of your room.

Favorite Curved Ceiling Lights Colors & Finishes

If you’re going for a sleek modern piece, you can hardly find a better option than a curved pendant light with a rich black finish. The minimalist silhouette is surprisingly exquisite and the deep black exterior adds a certain air of sophistication. On the other hand, if you’re looking for something more playful a white fixture with a shape complicated by unexpected twists and turns will keep things light and airy. And, for a pop of color to accompany your curved ceiling light, we love green as an off-the-wall neutral. More exciting than black and white, but with natural tones that play well with most other colors. You also have the option to forgo color altogether and let a light shine with a super simplistic glass shade. Which, although simplistic, is never boring thanks to avant-garde shapes and designs.

How to Choose the Perfect Curved Pendant Light

The most important thing to think about when deciding on a pendant light is space, both vertical and horizontal. Unlike cone pendants, curved pendant lighting tends to be full and round. You need to make sure that not only do you have the vertical space for the pendant to hang down, but also the horizontal space for it to shine. Overcrowding a pendant light dimish its elegance and make the space seem congested. Once you have the dimensions down, then you can turn all your attention to the style of the light.

Other Considerations

The look of curved pendant lighting is certainly unique, but it’s not exclusive to pendant lights. You can bring this same sloping style to other parts of your home’s lighting. Curved chandeliers are even more optically enchanting than their pendant cousins, walking a fine line between delicate and dramatic. Curved floor lamps help provide light in hard to reach places, and act as a beautiful decorative addition to any room they’re in. And, if you want something that mimics the slopes and curves of curved pendant lighting, round pendant lighting will provide the same playful elegance but in a more subtle way.
