I admit it, I do attempt to hang pendants and other fixtures in places where perhaps a flush mount fixture would do just as well or better. It comes down to my personal fascination with pendants and chandeliers of all types; in my opinion they are the jewelry of a room!
To enable this preference, there are strategies for installing a hanging fixture in a room with lower ceilings, and guidelines to keep in mind when selecting a fixture for a specific space and how low it should be hung.
One trick to successfully installing a hanging fixture in a room with eight foot ceilings is to place the fixture above a piece of furniture...ensuring no one gets their head bumped.
Another approach is to hang a fixture above the foot of a bed...
...and above a table, anchoring the furniture arrangement.

Enjoy your weekend! Janell
