This is thanks to a very simple idea – that is, fixing an attractive shelf bracket to your wall and drilling a hole into the tip, so that the cable can be threaded through to suspend the pendant in just the right position. You could even simply wind the cable artfully (as seen here), or knot it – especially if you have a lamp with an inline switch and a plug on the end (again, as seen here) and want to do a quick DIY job.
