Why We Love Hand Blown Glass Pendant Lights
Hand blown glass pendant lights make an immediately noticeable impact in any space. The gorgeous glass shades all provide unique shapes, textures, and colors that add a trendy modern touch to rooms. They provide a functional and decorative touch that’s only as restrictive as your creativity. Finding one to match your home’s unique style won’t be a challenge with such a wide variety to choose from.
Where Blown Glass Pendants Work Best
Typically you’ll find blown glass pendant lighting in the kitchens and dining rooms, but that’s not the only place they make an impact. The beautiful blown glass pendant can be hung over bedside tables for a dramatic lighting solution or as an unpredictable choice over bathroom vanities. They’ll instantly add a splash of elegance and exclusivity so be creative with your placements. Fixtures that provide ambient lighting work best over gathering areas, while brighter hand blown glass pendant lights will be most helpful over task areas.
Favorite Handmade Glass Pendant Shapes & Styles
A handmade blown glass pendant light can be stunning in its simplicity or dazzling in its decadence. Clean and uncomplicated hand-blown Italian glass globes take things to the next level with bubbled textures. Unusual shapes reminiscent of gemstones let the artistry speak for itself with natural glass finishes. Other hand blown glass pendants use color and symmetrical shapes to stand out from the crowd. Although primarily a contemporary fixture, some options mimic a more transitional style to fit in with classic decor.
How to Choose the Perfect Hand Blown Glass Pendant Lights
For hand blown glass pendants hung in unusual spaces like bathrooms or bedside tables, opt for a smaller sized pendant, like hand blown glass mini pendant lighting, so that they will complement the space without overtaking it. If your piece will stand alone, the bigger the better. A large light above a dining table will be a statement piece that transforms your eating area. A glass pendant light over a kitchen island, on the other hand, should focus on providing adequate light instead of superior design. Although with such a wide selection, you won’t have to compromise design for function.
Other Glass Lighting Considerations
Glass lighting is a popular option because the translucent nature of glass lets the lights shine naturally. Colored glass wall sconces complement glass pendant lighting but thanks to their slim profiles and generally small stature, they won’t outshine it. Pendant lighting in bathrooms should be wet-rated to handle the steam and humidity, so when deciding on a light for your bathroom choose carefully. When hanging your lights, make sure they aren’t so low that people can walk into or knock against them, but not so high that they’re out of sight. The drama of a hanging pendant light is half of their charm.
