Your house is sure to be lit up! But the question is which lamps you have installed in your home. Is there also a (modern) hanging lamp in between? Most can probably attest to this. On average, a household contains at least one or two pendant lamps. And that is not without reason. Hanging lamps are decorative, practical and with the right choice also a real atmosphere maker.

The hanging lamp is one of the most sought-after and chosen lighting elements in the Netherlands. A hanging lamp on your ceiling immediately adds something to your space; whether it is small or large, contains many or few points of light, has refined or more coarse features… It hangs and attracts attention.

What should you pay attention to when choosing a hanging lamp?

Before you take a (modern) hanging lamp into your home, it is good to take into account your needs with regard to three aspects, namely: the space in your house, the type of light and the strength of the light. Pen and notebook at the ready… we are going to draw up a lighting plan! Only then are you able to achieve optimal light in the house.

  • Space in the house

It sounds obvious, but it is good to first consider where you want to install the (modern) hanging lamp. Many people buy a lamp spontaneously and on the spec: “Later they will see where the lamp fits and shows the best in the house”. This is one way, of course, but it’s even better to check before purchasing so you know what to look for. For example, it is important to take into account the length of the lamp, the size and the design so that it corresponds to the interior.

Example: You have a stairwell that you would like to illuminate with a (modern) hanging lamp. Then it is good to look at the height of your ceiling and the desired height of the light. With a stairwell, it is often nice to opt for a larger one with a considerable length. Of course, a large one does not have to consist of only 1 light point, but this size can also be created with a (modern) hanging lamp consisting of several smaller lamps. A more minimalist hanging lamp is of course also a choice!

  • Type of light incidence

In addition to the room you want to illuminate, you can also pay some attention to the type of light you want. Are you looking for a (modern) hanging lamp with a small light distribution or a lamp that illuminates a somewhat larger space? This fact is closely related to the room you want to illuminate. For example, think of a bedroom, kitchen or living room. Ideally, you want to illuminate such spaces in such a way that everything in the room is visible the moment the light is turned on. A (modern) hanging lamp above a (work) table or desk, on the other hand, may only be intended for this purpose, so that everything on this table or desk is well lit.

  • The strength of the light

Finally, the strength of the light is also a point to consider. What kind of atmosphere do you want to create? Is that warmth, romance, cool, atmospheric or businesslike? These kinds of choices are not final. Do you realize later that you want to create a different kind of atmosphere with your lamp? Then you can easily restore this by using a different lamp strength or by using a dimmer.
