This is my double-height living room. The living sports a high ceiling and is flanked by floor to ceiling full-length windows on opposite sides. I have been looking for a pendant lamp to light up this space.
Most homes either have a chandelier or LEDs strips running along the false ceiling. Both do not work here as there is no false ceiling and I don’t want to spend a fortune on a lamp.
The ceiling is over 20 feet tall and the room as you can see is minimally decorated with hints of ethnic elements. There is no dearth of light in the room during the day, but we preferred to have minimal dim lighting for the evenings. Will you help me choose one from among these five?
This industrial drum pendant from Ivanka Lumiere is for Rs.9500. I was happy to discover this brand called Ivanka Lumiere through Home Canvas.
They have several handy tips on how to choose the different types of lights for a room especially a bedroom – recessed lights, bed side sconces, and hanging ones for decorative purposes.
After my home project, I have come to realize that you need to get the lighting right to make your home look like a million bucks. Good lighting camouflages all mistakes. So if you are in the process of doing up your interiors, don’t spend way too much time on the color and texture of the laminate, they don’t matter in the big picture.

Apart from these, I liked marble and glass pendant lamp in two complementary sizes from a vendor in Noida. He has a great collection but is not available online. One other dome pendant I liked was from the Purple Turtles store in Bangalore.
Which one did you like the most? What are your favorite places to shop online for lighting?
