Pendant lights are nothing more than lighting fixtures in which the light source is located at some distance from the ceiling, namely suspended on a wire or chain.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , this solution looks harmonious in rooms with standard-height ceilings, as well as with high ceilings.

However, due to such a function as adjusting the length of the wire, which is equipped with, perhaps, all modern models, pendant lights can be installed even in those rooms with low ceilings.

What are the disadvantages of such a choice?

Although they can add style and elegance to an interior, pendant lights are hardly practical.

First of all, they can hardly be called functional, since the lighting they provide is only sufficient for a certain part of the room.

In addition, during the cleaning process, pendant lights become a real problem due to their ability to accumulate dust and dirt.

A worthy alternative to pendant lights are wall sconces, which can provide sufficient lighting and are easier to clean.
