Living room pendant lights
Living-room pendant lights give structure to the space while defining its luminous ambience. They act as a visual focal point, directly linked to the seating arrangement and ceiling height. Each living room pendant should be chosen according to the volume of the room, the type of direct or diffuse lighting required, and the surrounding materials. Whether overhanging a coffee table or occupying the center of the ceiling, its role goes beyond simple lighting: it articulates lines and gives rhythm to volumes. read more >

Choosing the right living room pendant
The selection of a living room pendant is based on concrete criteria related to the layout, the available surface area and the use of the room. In a relaxation area, light must be even, without glare. A central pendant, placed at a moderate height, provides functional general lighting. In a configuration with several zones (reading area, dining area), the use of several light points becomes relevant. The suspension's diameter, height and shape must match the dimensions of the living room: a luminaire that's too small gets lost visually, while an oversized model weighs down the whole.
Materials and visual effects of living room suspensions
The materials used strongly influence the perceived effect. A suspension made of perforated metal diffuses a filtered, graphic light. Opaline or sandblasted glass ensures soft lighting, while a textile shade offers warmer light. Brass, matt black, chrome and wicker finishes should interact with other furniture elements, but need not be identical. Suspension fixtures can provide a contrast or a continuity of tones and textures. In a contemporary living room, a fixture with a clean design and smooth surface reinforces the impression of order; in a more eclectic interior, a raw material or irregular shape introduces an interesting visual tension.
Placement, height and articulation with the rest of the furniture
The placement of the suspension must respond to the living room's configuration. Above a coffee table, the recommended height is generally 120 to 150 cm from the floor, depending on ceiling height. If the fixture is purely decorative, with no direct lighting function, a higher suspension can emphasize volumes without impeding circulation. Alignment with the lines of the sofa, symmetry in relation to a wall composition or bay window are useful reference points. The aim is to create a legible whole, where each element has its place.
Finally, the color temperature of the bulbs must be adapted to the use of the living room. Lighting that's too white will distort materials, while light that's too yellow will crush contrasts. A neutral tone (2700 to 3000 K) ensures a good balance for everyday life.
Well-chosen and well-positioned, a living room pendant not only provides light: it structures, balances and completes the space.
