Forget the boring white drum pendants; drum pendant lighting is all grown up.
What’s the first thing you think of when I say: drum pendant lighting?
I bet it’s something along the lines of unimpressive, white, and utilitarian. But as you can see from the images on this page, that’s not true these days.
Yes, drum pendant lighting used to not be considered a luxurious ceiling light fixture.
And it used to live in the workhorse category of lighting, alongside track lighting and recessed lighting. But, no more. Even those workhorse lighting fixtures have blossomed into wide-eyed stunners, thanks to the creativity of lighting designers.
While the ‘impress-your-friends’ envy is a feature we eye-candy connoisseurs delight in, there is the important detail of where to use these beauties. It’s not just in a living room. It’s in the home office, the dining room, and with smaller sizes they are perfect as a group of three over a kitchen counter.
A few of my favorites
I’ve collected a few of my favorite luxe living drum pendant lighting options. And I dare you to disagree that these defy the workhorse category. Beauty and brains can exist in the same lighting option.
I have this fixture and we can’t figure out what the shade attaches to-HELP PLEASE!
