With a wide range of pendant shade sizes, it can be a little daunting trying to find the perfect fit for your space. Think about the size of your room, the height of your ceilings, and the shape of the pendant itself. A larger shade can serve as a fantastic accent piece, a focal point drawing the eyes to its large form and beautiful weave. Smaller sizes can work brilliantly as bedside lighting or in small nooks and crannies. As a general rule, you can't go wrong with your pendant hanging at least 25 inches above furniture, tables, countertops, etc. That way, you get enough light without the shade obstructing your view or making your room feel cluttered.
