Medium, Large & Oversized Pendant Lights

Pendant light fixtures can be placed throughout the home to provide a focused, downward glow as they hang from the ceiling. Medium, large, and oversized pendant lights are many of the options available as they range from minimalist in form to complex, eye-catching luminaires that can rival chandeliers.

These fixtures are also available in a range of popular styles including farmhouse pendants that emphasize simplicity and coziness while embracing a rural look with modern comforts.

Sizes of Medium Pendant Lights

Sizes of pendants vary, although there are a few guidelines. A medium pendant will typically be between 10 and 20 inches, making it a viable option for many rooms. Medium pendants can be used as a single unit or placed into a linear arrangement with multiple matching units to extend the light display emitted. Mini pendants and large pendants, as their names suggest are smaller and larger than medium pendants, with mini pendants ranging up to 10 inches.

Large & Oversized Pendant Lights Sizes

Large and oversized pendant lights are designed to make a statement in the home and to also provide more illumination than a typical pendant light. Large and oversized pendants are considered any pendant with a size greater than 20 inches, making them a viable option for larger surfaces such as dining room tables or kitchen islands. With these pendant sizes, proper measurement of the room or objects the pendant will be hanging over is required to ensure the size doesn’t overwhelm the space or interrupt the flow.

As an example, globe pendants can act as centerpieces instead of chandeliers or as minimal accent pieces over a small breakfast nook table or kitchen island. Size and functionality and entirely dependent on the space.

Frequently Asked Questions about Medium and Large Pendant Lighting

Which Rooms are Best for Large or Oversized Pendant Lighting?

There are no rules that say certain rooms cannot have large or oversized pendant lighting. As a general guideline, the pendant size should complement the room around it, matching in size with other prominent objects such as a dining room table or a sectional. To determine this, make sure to measure the height, width, and diameter of the pendant desired. Bedrooms and living rooms tend to be the largest rooms of the home and can be home to oversized pendant lighting, however, consider how much traffic each room receives and if the pendant in mind is an elegant piece that would be better suited as a focal point in rooms guests will spend more time in. A rustic modern pendant can be a conversation piece that stands out with natural textures and a warm feel.

Also keep in mind the proper hanging height for pendant lights. Pendants that hang too high or too low can have the opposite or diminished effect as intended and may overwhelm the room instead of creating flow. The average ceiling height is 8 feet, so keep pendant lights hanging 24 to 36 inches above any surfaces. If the pendant is set higher than 36 inches, the intention of a more focused glow may not be achieved and a linear suspension or chandelier may be a better option.

How large should a living room pendant light be?

The size of any fixture will be dependent on the size of the room and the arrangement of the furniture within, so it is always important to keep in mind the specifications of the room the fixture is planned to be in. Make sure proper measurements are taken before deciding on a particular light fixture.

Living rooms can have large sectionals or small tables off to the side or even bar areas that need individual lighting. Living room pendants can include large pendants that are used as a single fixture to illuminate a sectional, or as a linear suspension or linear arrangement of individual matching units over a bar area.

As an example, globe pendants can act as centerpieces like chandeliers or as minimal accent pieces. In general, pendants can accent sections of a room or act as the main light source when placed in the center, so the preference is entirely subjective.

How Large Should a Rectangular Pendant Light over a Dining Room Table be?

A dining room pendant should hang approximately 30 inches above the dining table surface. When a fixture is set at this height, people seated around the table can see each other and won’t get glare in their eyes while the illumination from the fixture allows for a full layer of light. For ceilings 9 feet or taller, add about 3 inches to the hanging height for each additional foot of ceiling height to ensure the pendant remains at the correct height to stay out of the way but present the right amount of light.

A dome pendant is one option to guarantee the light gets to where it needs to be the most. Solid sides send the light downward while the simple, geometric design allows this shape to work well with a variety of home styles.
