After listening to a webinar on the latest technology in lighting, it is obvious to me that it's a rapidly changing area of interior design today. While recessed ambient and task lighting are very important in a design scheme, the drama of pendant lights can change a plain space into a sensational one. Every kind of material is being used for pendant lighting whether it's metal, plastic, wood, glass, paper or any whimsical object one prefers. In the photo above, I really like the giant round
puff ball pendant which contrasts with the strong linearity of the room and creates an exciting kitchen space. In the second white kitchen below, the bright coral of the drum shade pendant provides a color focus that travels throughout the home.

Gold is a popular trend in current pendant lighting as used in the following photo. The placement of
multiple pendants over the kitchen island is not only functional...it's absolutely beautiful. These faceted hanging balls remind me of elegant earrings, but they also bring to mind luscious fruits and
vegetables.

Dining rooms provide an endless array of possibilities for creative pendant lighting. As in the next two photos, the single chandelier can be replaced by a row of pendants that repeat the same shape or offer a variety of similar shapes in the same fixture.

A cascade of sparkling spheres give a year-round holiday flair to the dining room below. This same effect is spectacular in the following living room where the cascading pendant lighting evokes
stars in the night sky.

A favorite space for me to install pendant lighting is in the bedroom. So many unusual pendant lights are available to lend romance to the space or suggest a client's favorite hobby. The first bedroom features a glamorous and shimmering organic chandelier. The pendant light in the second bedroom proclaims the owner's interest in astronomy and looks like a celestial orb. In the third bedroom, twin
double drum pendants offer bedside reading and emphasize the black and white color scheme in the room.

Bathroom lighting can be dramatic as well as functional as seen in the next three photos. The variety of these fixtures creates unique personal environments for the homeowners that are truly
exceptional.
