Bright ideas: Pendant lights

 

Adding some color and a dash of style to a room can be as easy as changing a light. Why settle for a boring frosted glass shade or a standard off-the-shelf fixture when you can add a pendant light that makes an overhead statement? Whether you choose a single bold light to bring clarity to a task area or to hang gracefully over a table or you arrange lights in groups, pendant lights come in designs that range from fun to colorful to high style. Here’s a roundup of some of our favorites.
