Whether you’ve bought a new pendant light, or sacrificed your weekend to DIY one, we have a few inspirational ideas that will help make your placement and hanging process a lot more interesting and fun.

Cluster

To create a chandelier effect using pendant lights, cluster them in a central spot of the ceiling at different heights.

Zig-Zagged

Mounted in various locations on adjacent walls, the cord of your pendant light can take on an arty geometric disposition, the perfect contrary to soften the elements in your space.

Wrapped

Wrapping several chords around a long, shallow pipe or beam, at varying heights in a straight line, similar your regular kitchen pendant lights, except a lot more interesting.

Swagged

Drape the cord from the ceiling with a few pins or hooks to create a breezy, architectural look.
