Fabric pendant lights

In the dining room or living area, soft lighting and a warm atmosphere are essential. A pendant lampshade adds an elegant touch and provides beautifully diffused illumination. Perfect for enhancing your dining space or creating a stylish, cosy reading corner.

Fabric pendant lights : faites le bon choix

Fabric pendant lights offer the perfect balance of soft diffusion and elegant design.

This style is an ideal choice for those seeking both visual comfort and refined aesthetics. Available in a variety of sizes, from compact 20 cm shades perfect for a reading corner, to dramatic XXL designs of 60 cm or more that can define a dining area or living space. The main purpose: to filter light and prevent glare, while creating an inviting and cosy atmosphere. Fabric pendants suit all décors, from reimagined classics to contemporary minimalism, and the hanging height can be adjusted to set the right light level for every room.

The right material for your fabric pendant light

Fabric: Fabric remains the most popular material, offering gentle, even light with reduced shadow. Choose from cotton, linen or velvet. A white cotton shade of 40 cm gives around 800 to 1200 lumens, perfect for a 10 to 15 m² room. Linen, with its textured finish, diffuses the light more softly and works beautifully in natural or Scandinavian-inspired rooms.

Glass: For a crisper effect, opal or frosted glass pendants give a brighter, more direct light with a gentle touch. A 30–40 cm shade works well in a kitchen or hallway, paired with a LED bulb of 8 to 12 W (the equivalent of a 60 to 100 W incandescent bulb).

Rattan and natural fibres: Pendant lights in rattan, bamboo or jute bring a crafted feel, with their ability to gently diffuse light. Hang a 50 cm rattan shade 80 cm above a table for a warm, glare-free glow. For more natural styles, the rattan pendant light collection offers openwork and woven variations.

Metal: Less common but striking, lacquered or perforated metal pendant lights focus the beam downward and add a modern edge. They’re ideal for desks or kitchens, and pair well with bulbs from 2700 to 3000 K to keep the atmosphere inviting.

The ideal height for pendant lights

The suspension height of a pendant light affects both visual comfort and overall design. Above a dining table, the shade should be 80–90 cm above the tabletop to avoid glare and centralise the light. In a living room or bedroom, aim for 210 to 230 cm above the floor for both clearance and even lighting. For a 15 m² room, a shade of 40–50 cm works well; for spaces over 20 m², choose a 60 cm pendant or cluster several together.

The right bulb depends on your desired effect: for a gentle atmosphere, 400 to 600 lumens is sufficient for a bedroom; for a workspace or dining area, aim for 1000 to 1500 lumens. E27 LED-compatible designs allow flexibility in both brightness and colour temperature (from 2700 K for a warm light to 4000 K for a more neutral tone).

For a cosy bedroom atmosphere, the bedroom pendant collection offers models suited to intimate settings, with thick fabrics or cocooning shapes.

How to choose the right pendant style

Classic: Cylindrical or conical shapes in cotton or linen blend easily with understated interiors. A white or beige shade of 35 cm pairs beautifully with light walls and natural wood furniture.

Designer: Contemporary pendants play with volume, layers or laser-cut designs. For a sculptural effect, choose an XXL model or cluster smaller pendant shades at different heights. The designer pendant light collection features bold pieces, perfect for adding interest to living rooms or hallways.

Colourful or graphic: Try a pop of colour (teal, terracotta, olive green) to brighten a neutral space. A 30 cm shade in colourful fabric can instantly transform a home office or a child’s bedroom. For perfect harmony, coordinate your fabric pendant with a fabric table lamp shade or floor lamp.

Finally, for humid spaces like bathrooms, look for lights with at least IP44 protection and choose materials resistant to moisture. A glass or metal design of 25 to 30 cm, mounted at 2.25 m from the floor, offers both safety and style.
