As you work to remodel your kitchen, workspace, or other areas, consider lighting. It should be at the heart of the overall design process. Light fixtures do not need to be boring, simple, or even extravagant. Rather, they should be fitting to your home and to the work you do within that space. As you take into consideration the wide range of ways to light a space, consider the value of using linear pendant lighting.
What Is This Type of Lighting?
Linear pendant lighting is much like a traditional pendant light – one that hangs from the ceiling usually on a very thin line and creates a focused area of light. However, it is linear, meaning that the light itself is larger and elongated. As a result, the actual amount of light created is more than what a traditional pendant offers. While the light remains still very focused, it covers a longer space.
When and How Should You Use It?
There is no rule as to when you can use this form of lighting. However, it works well over longer spaces. For example, using this type of lighting over a kitchen island can illuminate more of the countertop for you. You can use it over a long bathroom countertop. You can even incorporate it over a table, bar top, or other workspaces. It is quite flexible in this way.
The use of linear pendant lighting is very fashionable and sleek. It can be a beautiful but simple way to add just the right amount of light to any area. It can stand out, depending on the style of the light you choose or blend right into the décor of the space. For many projects, this is the ideal type of light to incorporate into your home because of its subtle beauty.
