White rattan pendant lights

Plan on one white rattan pendant light per area to light: above a table, near a bed or in an entryway. The woven rattan filters the light without glare, the E27 socket shared across the collection leaves the bulb choice open, and the protection rating is decided by how damp the room is.

What light does a white rattan pendant give?

Woven rattan filters the light and diffuses it without glare: the pendant lights the table as well as the rest of the room. Every pendant in this collection shares the E27 socket, so the bulb is chosen freely, and some models take up to 60 W.

White chandelier: what light for a living room?

Set above a table, a wide shade pushes the light down onto the surface and leaves the upper room softer. The weave casts fine shadows on the wall, which gives relief to a pale interior. A large diameter such as the Delarosa (Ø 50.8 cm) covers a wide table; a smaller size is kept for a reading corner. To play with these nuances, browse the white designer pendants.

Which E27 bulb for a rattan pendant?

The E27 socket takes a filament bulb, an LED or a smart bulb. As a rule, aim for a colour temperature around 2700 K to 3000 K for warm light in a living room or bedroom, and rather 4000 K above a worktop. Rattan already softens the beam, so there is no need for a very powerful bulb. Check the maximum wattage stated on the model, 60 W on some.

Does woven rattan diffuse enough light?

Yes, if you accept ambient light rather than even illumination. The weave lets light through between the fibres and sends some of it back up to the ceiling. In a large room, it is worth adding a second source, a wall light or a floor lamp, rather than going up in wattage.

White rattan pendant lights: which rooms are they for?

White rattan suits every room in the house: the bedroom, the living room, the dining room, the kitchen and the entryway. Small diameters and the ball shape go near a table, in a hallway or an entryway, while large shades fill a living space.

Living room, bedroom or entryway: which use?

In a bedroom, you want low, enveloping light, often near the bed. In a living room, the pendant becomes the focal point above the coffee table or the sofa. In an entryway, it works as a passage light: the Liana ball-shaped rattan pendant is listed for the bedroom and hallway, which makes it a consistent choice for a small volume. See also the white pendants for bedrooms.

Kitchen or dining room: what precautions?

Above a dining table, the pendant stays centred on the surface and its height is set at installation. In a kitchen, steam and splashes justify a higher protection rating: compare the models designed for kitchens with those for a dry room. The Lindendale model, rated IP44, is listed for both of these rooms as well as the living room, bedroom and entryway, which leaves flexibility if you rearrange.

How to choose the size and the protection rating?

The diameter is chosen according to the surface to be lit and the ceiling height, the protection rating according to how damp the room is. IP20 is enough in a bedroom, a living room or a dry entryway; IP44 gives more protection in a kitchen or a room exposed to moisture.

Which diameter for a living room or bedroom?

A wide shade (Ø 50.8 cm on the Delarosa) fills a large table; a more contained diameter (Ø 40.5 cm on the Lindendale) suits an average room. The Liana comes in 30, 35, 45 and 60 cm, which lets you match the size to the width of the furniture below. As a general rule, the taller the room, the more generous the shade can be without overwhelming the space.

IP20 or IP44: which to choose?

The protection rating describes resistance to dust and water splashes. IP20 corresponds to dry indoor use; IP44 adds protection against splashes, useful near a sink or in a damp room. It is not a sign of quality, only a match to the location.

White chandelier or rattan pendant: what is the difference?

Chandelier and pendant often mean the same fixture: what changes is the number of light points and the silhouette. Here, the models have a single E27 bulb and a shade in rattan, glass or fabric, in a contemporary spirit.

Modern white chandelier: what sets it apart?

A simple silhouette, a fine structure that disappears and a material left visible. The white colour keeps the room bright and works with light wood furniture as well as dark surfaces. To broaden the comparison, look at the modern white pendants and the white metal pendants.

Rattan lamp: pendant or wall light?

A rattan lamp hangs from the ceiling like a classic pendant: mounting the bracket, wiring on the E27 socket, adjusting the cable. The same material exists as a wall light or a table lamp, if you would rather not drill the ceiling. The Designix lighting catalogue gathers these other families, from white glass to ceramic pendants.

Which designer white chandelier for a contemporary decor?

A designer white chandelier is recognisable by its worked silhouette and its visible material: woven rattan, glass or fabric on a discreet structure. The white colour keeps the room bright and pairs easily with a contemporary interior, from the living room to the dining room.

Designer white chandelier: which materials to pair?

White matches light wood, beige and bronze, all present in the selection. A wooden table and a white sideboard take a woven pendant well; for a more contrasted look, white and black pairings work too. If you want a warmer note, white and gold combinations shift the light towards amber.

White rattan and glass pendant: what effect?

Glass reinforces the white colour and brightens the light, while rattan softens it. The Lindendale model combines steel, glass and rattan; the Delarosa plays on white and bronze. To stay with a single material, see the white wood pendants or the white fabric pendants, which are more enveloping.

How to install a rattan pendant above a table?

The pendant is placed above the centre of the table, at a height that keeps the shade visible without getting in the way of conversation. Adjustment is made on the cable, at the time of installation, according to the ceiling height and the size of the shade chosen.

At what height should a pendant hang above the dining table?

As a rule, allow around 75 to 85 cm between the bottom of the shade and the tabletop, a guide that lets faces be seen without masking the light. A large shade needs a little more height than a ball shape. Always fix the bracket to a solid point in the ceiling, then cut the power before wiring.

Dimmable pendant: how to make the most of it?

A dimmer-compatible model, such as the Liana, is controlled with a switch or a dimmable bulb. It is useful above a table that also serves as a desk, or in a bedroom to lower the light in the evening. Check that the bulb you choose accepts dimming, otherwise the adjustment will not work. The black rattan versions follow the same installation logic.

How to care for a white rattan pendant and keep it bright?

Woven rattan is dusted with a soft cloth or a brush attachment, without abrasive products and without excess moisture. Glass is cleaned with a glass cleaner, the steel structure with a dry cloth. The selection is covered by a two-year warranty.

How to dust woven rattan?

Cut the power, then run the vacuum brush attachment on low power between the fibres. A slightly damp microfibre cloth is enough for stubborn marks, followed by air drying. Avoid abrasive sponges and greasy products, which clog the weave. Two or three passes a year are enough in a standard interior.

How to keep white rattan bright?

Prolonged direct light yellows some natural materials: it is better not to expose the pendant due south behind a bay window. Glass and steel are dusted along with the rest of the room, with no special product. To change the mood rather than the model, compare the grey pendants and all our lighting collections.

Secure payment, tracked delivery, returns and Designix customer service: order the white Lindendale pendant or the white and bronze Delarosa model and you keep the option to change your mind.

Start with the diameter: measure the width of the furniture that will sit under the pendant, then choose a shade slightly narrower so the light falls on the edges. Then check the protection rating for the room. It is this pair of decisions, more than style, that makes a fixture right once installed.
