Ceiling lights

About

Ceiling lights do the broadest bit of work in a lighting scheme, bringing useful overhead light while setting the tone from above. This collection gathers together decorative ceiling light fittings , from pendant lights , chandeliers and multi-light designs to semi-flush and flush fittings . Material and finish make a surprising difference. Contemporary ceiling lights in glass or brushed metal feel clean and airy, while a black ceiling lamp gives a crisper outline and a gold ceiling light brings warmth. White, silver, green and wooden details can be quieter or more playful, and colourful ceiling lights are rather good at waking up an otherwise calm scheme. For sharper silhouettes, our contemporary pendants are a useful place to look; for something with a more workshop-like edge, try the industrial pendant lights . Before choosing, check the ceiling height, the width of the fitting and how far it will hang. A three-light ceiling pendant can spread light more generously, while a single glass ceiling light keeps things visually lighter. If the fitting is sound but needs a softer finish, a new ceiling lampshade can be a wonderfully effective little change.
