Get Our Picks: Bamboo Statement Lighting

#lighting

As we wrap up our studio renovation many of you have expressed interest in the pendant lights we installed. So I decided to share all about how/why we picked these pendants as well as a full lineup of bamboo pendants I love.

Our new studio space is big and open. So I knew the space would benefit from a few features that pull you in and focus your view. I decided one of those elements should be a large scale lighting feature that hangs low from the very tall ceiling.

A single piece of lighting could easily get lost in the space and really large chandeliers can get expensive fast. I wanted something that would be big impact but on a small budget (story of my life!).

I started thinking about clustering bamboo or wood pendants together to create one large group. These options would be lightweight and easier for us to install. And then I found these Flexible Bamboo Pendants and all my lighting problems were resolved.

Why Bamboo Pendants

They are lightweight
Typically low cost
Made of sustainable materials
Most are good neutral colors

Flexible Bamboo Pendant

What I love about them

Variety of sizes. This pendant comes in 6 different sizes. The smallest is 15" tall and the largest is 32" tall, with 4 different sizes in between.
Adjustable shapes. These pendants are extremely flexible. The design of these pieces cleverly allows you bend your pendant into the shape you want and hold it into that shape.
Canopy options. They offer 4 different cord/canopy choices so you can pick the one that works best for you.
Lampshade only option. You can order just the shade and get your own lighting kit or you can do what I did, and forgo the bulb all together.
