Spotted! 8 Statement Lights Perfect for Living Rooms
These lighting fixtures don't just brighten up the rooms they inhabit, they also make a bold design statement
Pendant light or chandelier – the line between the two can be blurry, since a chandelier is essentially a larger, more decorative version of a pendant light. Whether the one or the other, it’s safe to say this ceiling-based light source has become quite a popular choice when it comes to illuminating our living rooms. Aiming the light either up or down, or just providing a general glow to the space – let these eight statement numbers inspire your next home lighting project.
2. Wonderfully wiry
This wrought-wire frame lamp suspended from the ceiling is an Allegro pendant lamp by Foscarini. Although placed in a corner, it adds balance and texture to the otherwise pastel room. But the real wonder here is when it is switched on – the lamp casts intricate, elegant patterns on the wall, adding a whole lot of drama to the space.

3. Black beauty
Even though this room is filled with different textures and design elements, the black chandelier is undoubtedly the piece de resistance.
The lamp shades bathe the room in diffused light, giving the space a sense of warmth. However, this look becomes particularly beautiful when paired with the black cloth-like drapery over the chandelier.

4. Minimalist touch
Twin minimalist light fixtures cast an ethereal glow over this contemporary living room. Its nature-inspired tree-like form adds a theatrical dimension to the room, while accentuating the cool blue colour palette and the painting behind it.

5. Colourful drama
Double-height spaces are great for creating volume, but they can cause the furniture to get lost in the mix. However, a cluster of pendant lights hung at various heights can be of great help in filing up large spaces.
Take this living room, for instance – the bright, translucent shades pick up the colours of the cushions, balancing and adding vibrancy to this predominantly cream-toned area.

6. Ethnic splendour
This living room has a lot going for it – the contemporary ethnic decor, the multitudes of artworks and the vibrant colours. However, what makes the room really stand out is the over-the-top metallic pendant fixture. The lamp, studded with coloured stones, visually pairs well with the soft furnishings, electrifying the space, while the metal adds another layer of texture to the room.

7. Gothic candlelight
This home takes fusion decor to another level. It blends classical-style carved furniture pieces with a more contemporary open setting. However, the Gothic three-tiered chandelier with multiple bulbs steals the show, especially when hanging from this double-height ceiling.

8. Deer impression
This suspended eye-catcher serves two purposes in the room. First, it does what a conventional light is supposed to do – provide illumination. And second, it acts as a striking design element.
Taking a cue from the deer sculpture in the corner, the light is a modern interpretation of antlers in metal. It ties together the deer sculpture and other metallic elements in the room, including the centre table and lamps.

Resembling old street lamps, these pendant lights get a fresh coat of paint in a distress finish to go with the centre table above which they hang. It’s not so much the colour here but the form of the vintage lamps that perfectly complements the classical arched mirror window. While the emerald-coloured walls modernise the look, the pair of drop lights add that touch of old grandeur to the room.
