Living Room: Sculptural and Statement-Making

Your living room is your social anchor—opt for a pendant light that adds visual interest and balances ambient needs.

  • Color temperature: Neutral to warm (3000K–3500K)
  • Pro tip: If your ceilings are high, consider cluster pendants to define vertical space.
