A ceiling light does more than brighten a room, it defines it. The
perfect centrepiece can shift the entire mood of a space, turning a simple ceiling into a statement and making your home feel effortlessly elevated. It’s important to consider how you use the room, the atmosphere you want to create, and the little details that make your home feel like you. From the style of the fixture to the finish on the fittings, the right lighting can
transform a space in ways you might not expect, adding depth, character and a touch of something special.
Our lights are designed with choice in mind, so you can opt for braided cable for a softer, more contemporary look or classic chain links to add character. Each option can be tailored to suit your own style. So, whether you’re looking for a
stunning chandelier for your
dining room, a
glass pendant for your
bedroom, or a statement light to transform your
living space, our extensive collection of hand crafted ceiling lights offers something suitable for any vision, aesthetic or mood.
1. THE ELMWOOD THREE ARM PENDANT
The Elmwood brings a sophisticated presence to any space, delivering the perfect
mid-century statement light for any room. With its clean lines, bold, angular silhouette and featuring our new
French Cone candle clip shades that were designed specially for it, this ceiling pendant blends seamlessly with both classic and contemporary styling bringing a refined and understated elegance.
Fit a
multi pendant centrally to cast soft, ambient light over the entirety of the room, or hang it above a dining or console table as shown above by
@_our_housetohome_ to create balance and an eye catching focal point that lifts your gaze upwards generating a sense of height and space. Made in our signature antiqued brass finish, the Elmwood's warm, muted brass patina blends effortlessly with the natural tones and mid century styling of the room bringing a heritage touch and
Arts & Crafts feel to the space.
2. THE RICHMOND
For a more contemporary look, the
Richmond Pendant shown above in this stunning hallway by
@restore_home_ brings together the key design elements of this room and stands proudly as a gorgeous focal point. The beauty of
using glass is that its naturally reflective qualities bounces light everywhere creating a feeling of airy openness without encroaching on the sense of space - ideal for smaller or darker rooms.
With its alluring, clear glass shade, the
Richmond seems to hang in mid air adding to the sense of openness in this hallway and helping to generate a feeling of flow as you move from one room to the next. The largest of our Holborn family of lights, the Richmond is the perfect choice for an
entrance hall, bedroom or living room with high ceilings, positioned to be the main attraction.
3. THE THREE ARM CLASSIC
Generous curved arms, wide drip trays and beautiful detailing makes the
Three Arm Classic Pendant a true statement piece for any home. This timeless design has become a Jim Lawrence staple as it not only provides perfect illumination, but its elegant proportions help play an important role in shaping the atmosphere and overall ambience of a carefully crafted interior as it has in this beautifully elegant living from
@laura_whiteway_interiors.Here, Laura has fitted the
Three Arm Classic centrally where it will provide the best ambient light over the whole room, and paired it with our
Single Fleur Wall Lights for a period touch and feel of Georgian romance, as well as lovely layers of light, and our
candle clip shades in Royal Oyster Silk for a luxurious finish.
Style the
Three Arm Classic with a candle clip shade of your choice and you can totally refresh the look and feel of your room without a major overhaul. We make a wide range of elegant
Empire and
French Drum candle clip shades in a huge variety of our country inspired fabrics for you to find your perfect partner.
4. THE STANTON PENDANT
Our
Stanton Pendant is a true standout in that its bold, trapezium shape is like no other in our collection. Handcrafted from high-quality steel and plate glass, the minimalist design strikes that perfect balance of
industrial edge with timeless elegance.
A customer favourite, its styling lends itself to both contemporary and traditional interiors as shown above by
@baileyhomeinteriors, where its bold, black outline makes a striking contrast to the off white paintwork on the ceiling and walls, and the traditional, farmhouse-style kitchen cabinetry, yet harmonises beautifully with the dark colours on woodwork. As a statement feature the Stanton will project and disperse light evenly throughout any setting.
5. THE GREENWICH
A central pendant will effortlessly pull a space together, adding a radiance that truly stands out. The
Greenwich Pendant is one of our favourites, featuring an oversized, fluted, handblown globe shade that is designed to take centre stage in larger rooms or homes with high ceilings, creating a dramatic, yet elegant effect as shown here in this dreamy bedroom by
@ross_and_ian.
Like its cousin, the Richmond,
the Greenwich is designed to sit perfectly above
kitchen islands and dining tables, but also makes a wonderful
ceiling light in a softer space like a bedroom or living room as its fluted glass diffuses light beautifully for a calmer more relaxed feel.
WHAT SIZE & SHAPE PENDANT DO I NEED?
Generally speaking, we suggest that the larger the area you want to light, the bigger the pendant light should be. Also, the higher your ceiling, the larger the pendants should be, as all lights look smaller when you are looking up at them.
Consider how you intend to use your ceiling lights. If you need them to produce good overall ambient light, it might be wiser to go larger, but if you want them more as a focal point to produce accent lighting, using smaller pendants with a more focussed beam might be better.
The shape of lights you choose, is entirely subjective. Wider, flatter designs will not encroach on the space above your island as will more bulbous, heavier shapes that may make more of a statement. Glass shades are excellent as the airy, reflective quality of glass gives ample light without reducing the sense of space.

CAN I ALTER THE CABLE LENGTH?
We recommend you always use a qualified electrician to install your lights. For pendant lights
supplied with 50cm of braided cable only, you can cut them to length with a pair of scissors. For pendants supplied with 1m of chain and cable, you can shorten the chain with a hacksaw, but kindly note that this will void the warranty, so please be sure you are happy with the lengths before you adapt them.
If you need longer chain and cable, we can make your pendants for you with custom-made lengths for a small additional cost as a bespoke modification. Alternatively, you can purchase cut lengths of
cable and pre-cut lengths of
chain in 2m or 3m lengths in our
lighting accessories area of the website.
You can also complete this form to enquire about bespoke lengths.To find out more, see our Kitchen Pendant Guide
