\"GuestIn today\u2019s guest blog post, the team from Progress Lighting<\/a> provides insight on a very popular home trend\u2014designing with pendants!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

One of the most versatile interior design trends our team has seen is the creative use of pendant groupings in spacious areas. Pendants not only provide functional illumination\u2014by adding lighting directly where its needed\u2014but also increase the aesthetics of a room by enhancing complementary finishes and textures featured in other home accents.<\/p>\n

Here are some of our favorite applications\u2014and ideas to try\u2014featuring pendant designs.<\/p>\n

\"School

\nFor the kitchen island
\n<\/strong>Hang pendants in groupings of two or more over a kitchen island. The design team at Progress Lighting typically recommends placing pendants 18″ in from the edge of the island.<\/p>\n

Over a dining room table
\n<\/strong>Incorporate multiple pendants over a dining table. This is a wonderful way to add extra light when the ceiling height doesn\u2019t allow for a large chandelier.<\/p>\n

\"Markor
Progress Lighting\u2019s Markor pendant adds elegance to the master bedroom in our Wagner model home.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n


\nIn the bedroom
\n<\/strong>Pendant lights add romance and make a statement in a master suite or guest bedroom. Pendants can be displayed on either side of the bed in lieu of table lamps. Additionally,\u00a0a single\u00a0large pendant<\/em>\u00a0light positioned directly\u00a0over<\/em>\u00a0the\u00a0bed<\/em> creates a stunning focal point.<\/p>\n

In an<\/strong> entryway or foyer
\n<\/strong>Try adding a grouping of pendants in a spacious area, such as the foyer or entryway, in lieu of an oversized chandelier. Pendants can be displayed in varying heights to add visual interest in an area that makes a first impression on guests and visitors.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

In a living room<\/strong> area
\n<\/strong>Individuals no longer have to feel constrained to choose from lighting fixtures in the same collection. Rather, we at Progress Lighting encourage you to mix and match complementary fixtures, which also includes pendants.<\/p>\n

Bathroom
\n<\/strong>Pendants can be displayed on either side of a mirror in the bath and vanity area. Combined with recessed lighting or other general overhead illumination, pendants can add both form and function to the bathroom.<\/p>\n

We hope you are inspired by some of the ideas we\u2019ve provided. As a next step, find your favorite pendant fixtures to use in an upcoming design by visiting Progress Lighting today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
