Pendant Light Runners Up and Alternates

These Isla pendant lights from LBL Lighting are an economic alternative to the Niche Modern pendants shown in the previous post. They only come in the round shape shown below, but it's not a true sphere so is a little eclectic. The glass is hand blown with a seeded texture, and comes in five colors. There's also a choice of hardware color, which is nice. The Niche Modern pendants start at $475, but these only cost about $260-$280. They also come in a smaller "mini pendant" size.

I also love these Soft Collection pendant lights from George Kovacs (at right and below left). They cost $600-$750 and are 17" diameter, so would make a beautiful dining table fixture.

At left and above right is the Ilu pendant from Viso, a very cool lighting manufacturer. It comes in three sizes and six colors, and costs $360-$630.

At left is the Bel Occhio pendant by Pablo Designs. It comes in orange or white and costs $380.

Pendant Lights - Again!

I've decided to use these hand blown pendants from Niche Modern in the kitchen. Instead of using five smaller pendants as I previously planned, I'm going to install three larger fixtures in three different shapes (but all the same color). I love the way these fixtures are modern and classic both, a bit like my house. I've also found it's not so easy to find light fixtures in red - my favorite color - and these come in a beautiful shade of crimson.

At left is the Pharos pendant light. Below left is the Oculo pendant light and below right is the Stargazer pendant light. These are the three shapes I am using over the kitchen island.

Below is the Minaret pendant light. I plan to use this fixture over the dining room table in the effervescent glass color (shown on the right). Because the kitchen and dining area are open to each other, I want the light fixtures to work with each other and tie the spaces together.
