How to make the right choice for your macrame pendant light

Determining the ideal location for a macrame pendant light

Before choosing your macramé pendant light, it’s essential to determine its future location. Take into account the size of the room, natural and artificial lighting, and the general style of your interior. Also consider practical constraints such as ceiling height and available hanging points.

Choosing the size and shape of your hanging lamp to suit your space

The size and shape of your macrame pendant light must be adapted to the space you have. For a small space, opt for a light, airy model that won’t visually clutter the room. On the contrary, in a large space, you can afford a more imposing, structured model.

Selecting material and colour for a macrame pendant light

The choice of material and colour for your macrame pendant light should be consistent with the rest of your decor. Cotton and jute ropes are the most commonly used materials for macramé pendant lights. They offer a wide variety of colours, from ecru white to intense black; our models stay in natural tones, white or beige. Wooden furniture also goes very well with the bohemian style of macramé.
