Rattan pendant lights for living room

Plan for a compact model for a reading corner, a medium diameter for a round table and a multi-shade bar for a long table or an island: in the living room, the format is chosen according to the furniture to be lit. Rattan pendant lights bring together openwork bells, round baskets, adjustable arms and braided cords, often carried by a black metal frame that filters the light and casts soft shadows.

What are the most beautiful rattan pendant lights for living room?

In the living room, a rattan pendant light is recognisable by its openwork shade, in caning, wicker or braided cord, often carried by a black metal frame. Diamond bell, two-tier basket, adjustable arms or multi-shade bar: it is the weaving that creates the effect, because it filters the light and projects shadows onto the walls.

The Calya diamond bell comes in three diameters and accepts a dimmer: it works as well above a table as in a reading corner. For a more graphic volume, the Cassiopea four-arm pendant light dresses a large living room with its black steel structure and its caning shades.

The Maleo two-tier model layers two weaves, one light and one dark, and occupies the space without hanging too low. The compact Tressa pendant light, in braided cord and black metal, slips into a corner. For an original living room light, look first at the shape, then at the number of sources: a modern living room chandelier works very well with a woven piece, such as the Bintan five-shade bar. More ideas are in all our lighting.

How to choose the size of a rattan pendant light for the living room?

The format is chosen first according to the furniture to be lit: a compact model suits a reading corner, a medium diameter a round table, a large rectangular piece or a multi-shade bar a long table or an island. Adjustable cables allow the height to be adjusted afterwards.

What diameter for a dining area?

Above a round table, a medium to large diameter remains readable: the Calya bell comes in Ø 40, 50 and 60 cm, the Maleo two-tier in Ø 53 cm. A large living room chandelier is not necessary over a table for four; better a just-right volume, even if it means completing with a wall light. In a small living room, aim for Ø 31 cm like the Tressa, reserved for a specific corner, round table or armchair.

Large pendant light for a long table and island

Over a rectangular table or an island, length matters more than diameter: the Bintan bar measures L 110 cm and carries five shades, while Cassiopea and Livlineta extend over 102 × 51 cm. Rectanora, rectangular and adjustable up to 140 cm in height, suits an open kitchen. Also look at the bamboo and rattan pendant lights to vary the formats.

Rattan, wicker, bamboo or braided cord: which material for which light effect?

Rattan and caning give a regular weave and a warm light; wicker and bamboo offer wider fibres and a more rustic effect; braided cord brings a matte and graphic look. The models often combine these fibres with a metal or black steel frame.

Rattan and caning

A tight caning finely filters the light: you get a warm atmosphere, without glare, suited to a living room where you read or stay for a long time. The Calya bell plays on open diamonds, the Bintan bar on a more supple cord. For a lighter effect, compare with the wood pendant lights for living room.

Wicker, bamboo and braided cord

Wicker and bamboo let through a wider light, with less marked shadows; braided cord, matte, absorbs light and draws clean lines, as on the Tressa. Metal appears only in the structure: cables, arms, bar. A detour through the woven wicker models widens the possible effects.

Which style of rattan pendant light for a boho, contemporary or jungle living room?

A boho interior calls for a wide weave and round or basket shades; a contemporary living room prefers a fine black frame and graphic shapes, like a bar or a square; the jungle spirit works with tight caning and natural fibres. Beige and black cover most of the models.

A boho living room

Boho accepts generous volumes and irregular fibres: the Maleo two-tier, in light and dark wicker and bamboo, is its most direct expression, like the Cassiopea four-arm pendant light above a table. On the colour side, the caning on a black frame keeps the style without weighing it down.

A contemporary or jungle interior

A contemporary living room relies on contrast: a fine bar, a square, a single thickness of weave. Rectanora, in black metal and four aligned bulbs, plays this role above an island. The jungle spirit plays on tight caning and natural fibres, while Scandinavian lines and light and white rattan suit softer interiors.

How to install and adjust a rattan pendant light above a table or an island?

These pendant lights are installed in dry rooms: the whole selection is IP20, so neither damp bathroom nor outdoor. Above a table, they are lowered to seated eye level; above an island or a worktop, they are raised. The adjustable cables are cut and adjusted after installation.

What height above a dining table?

In general, the shade is placed at the eye level of a seated person, around 80 to 90 cm above the tabletop depending on the room and the size of the light: low enough to light the plates, high enough not to hide faces. Rectanora goes up to 140 cm adjustable height. Cut the power during assembly and check the ceiling anchor point.

Bathroom, hallway and damp rooms: what is possible

The IP20 of the whole collection reserves these pendant lights for dry interior rooms: no damp bathroom; only Tressa is listed for a sheltered outdoor area. In a hallway, a compact model suits a circulation area, like those in the hallway pendant lights. In an open kitchen, the versions designed for the kitchen are installed above a worktop, never above a sink. To brighten a living room, whites, creams, soft greens and light woods go well with rattan.

Which bulb and which light to choose for a rattan pendant light?

Models with an E27 socket dominate the collection: they accept a classic screw bulb, including an LED. Pendant lights with adjustable arms use E14. On LED versions, the light is announced as warm white, between 2700 and 3500 K, a shade that warms the caning without yellowing it.

E27 or E14 socket

The E27 socket equips Calya, Bintan, Rectanora, Tressa and Maleo: you place the bulb of your choice there, within the limits of the socket. The small E14 socket concerns Cassiopea and Livlineta, two arm pieces. The choice of bulb is therefore decided before purchase, according to the model chosen.

LED bulbs, warm white and dimming

An LED heats little, which suits a woven shade where heat escapes poorly. Warm white, between 2700 and 3500 K, highlights the fibres without hardening the room. On Maleo, this shade is announced and dimming is possible; other models join the dimmable pendant lights.

Rattan pendant light and the rest of the living room: how to match the light sources?

The rattan pendant light carries the lighting of the dining area or reading corner; a wall light lights the circulation areas, a floor lamp creates a second low point and adjustable spotlights provide general lighting. Keeping the same bulb shade everywhere avoids colour differences from one area to another.

With a wall light

Where the ceiling hosts nothing, a wall light completes the pendant light and avoids multiplying high points. A rattan pendant light for the bedroom works on the same principle: one source above the bed, another on the wall. The weaving filters the light and creates a warm atmosphere rather than uniform lighting.

With a floor lamp and spotlights

A floor lamp brings a low point near an armchair, useful for reading under filtered light. For the living room ceiling spotlight layout, align the spotlights on the passage areas and let the pendant light do the rest: too many high points crush the weaving. Modern LED pendant lights and design LED pendant lights fit well with this principle.

Rattan pendant light for living room: entry level or exceptional piece?

The level of finish depends on the weaving, the number of sources and the metal structure: a compact one-source model remains accessible, a bar or a two-tier basket with several shades is an exceptional piece. The whole selection is guaranteed 2 years, with secure payment, tracked delivery and returns.

What raises the level of finish

What is seen first is the regularity of the weaving and the fineness of the frame. A compact model in rattan and metal like the Tressa requires less material than a five-shade bar or a two-tier basket. The number of sources also matters: one bulb for a corner, several to light a long table.

Reassurance and guarantee

The 2-year guarantee covers the whole selection. Secure payment, tracked delivery, returns and Designix customer service accompany each order. For an open kitchen and a modern kitchen decor, the LED pendant lights for kitchen complete an already equipped project.

Choose the length of the furniture to be lit, then check the socket of the model: these two criteria are enough to decide. The whole lighting range lets you compare the remaining formats, and the black metal frames finish matching the room.
