RATTAN PENDANT LIGHT
You've most likely come across these three home furniture materials before: rattan, wicker, and cane. There's also a good chance you've used at least one of them in your home or when buying furniture for an indoor or outdoor space. These terms are often used interchangeably for all three products, so it's not surprising that many people believe rattan, wicker, and cane are all the same thing.
Rattan and cane both come from the rattan plant. Cane is the thinner material obtained by stripping the rattan plant. Wicker, on the other hand, can be crafted from rattan, bamboo, reed, willow, or even synthetic fibers. It can be made from any sturdy natural or man-made material that can be woven together.
Including natural elements in your home decor like installing rattan pendant lights offers some benefits that extend beyond just elevating the aesthetic of your home. They have the power to create a soothing atmosphere, cleanse the air, boost happiness and productivity while encouraging sustainability.
INTRODUCING RATTAN PENDANT LIGHT IN YOUR HOME
Your style doesn’t have to be boho or coastal or whatever we typically associate rattan accents with. Natural materials pair perfectly with modern pieces, Scandinavian style, farmhouse looks, rustic decor, and more. A woven pendant light brings an unexpected vibe to a space with multiple patterns. Try woven hanging light fixtures in the dining room, living room, or bedroom.
Wicker pendant lighting can liven up any space, big or small, and any style (including multiple styles at once). And if you can’t decide on just one light to be the focal point, please contact us for advise. Consider hanging rattan pendants above a wooden table, don’t worry about matching the shade of wicker to whatever wood you’re using; it’ll look great no matter what.
People often think of wicker as an outdoorsy material so it makes sense to have some outdoor wicker and rattan pendant lights and lamps with your outdoor furniture. Once again, you can do multiple lights for architectural and visual interest or just one on the patio. Outdoor lighting is great for entertaining or creating an outdoor living room space — just think of it as an extension of your indoor space.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST RATTAN PENDANT LIGHT FOR YOUR HOME: SIZE, COLOURS, STYLES, AND INSTALLATION OPTIONS
With so many rattan pendant options to choose from, you may have a hard time choosing just one. So how do you choose the best rattan pendant for your space? You can start by going through the considerations listed below:
- Purpose: In certain rooms, a light fixture serves a more functional purpose rather than fashionable. Rattan pendants provide both style and functionality. Due to it's material and the way it is put together, it can provide both general and task lighting. For example, a tightly knit rattan pendant in a bell shape will provide only task downward lighting whereas as a loosely knit rattan pendant can provide general lighting with a shadow play.
- Size: Know the square footage of the room as well as the ceiling height (including vaulted and sloped ceilings) to help you make the best choice. Be mindful of all sizing dimensions including width, depth, height and even weight of a fixture you are interested in.
- Positioning: Consider the positioning of the rattan pendant and its effects on style, general lighting of the room as well as symmetry of design. The lower it is, the bigger the fitting will appear. If you think the size of the bell pendant light is too big, then just adjust it to be hung higher to reduce its size via sheer illusion.
- Colours: Rattan pendants are often in natural colour but black and white wash colours are also available. The material suits the colour.
- Brightness: The ideal lumen count for ambient lighting in a dining room–or any room–is determined by the space’s square footage. Per 10 square metres, a dining room needs about 250-400 total lumens. However, please be mindful that most rattan pendant lights are supported by downlights and other functional lighting so pendant light brightness is sometimes considered secondary ambient lighting rather than focused functional lighting.
- Maintaining and Cleaning Rattan Pendant Lights: One of the best features of rattan pendants that not many know about is the ease of cleaning and maintaining this hanging lights. In fact, most people prefer its natural look and don't really clean or maintain them as it can easily absorb dirt and other earthly materials. That's also another reason why it's so popular to use in outdoor settings. And, for the obvious - they never rust or break! So, no more replacing pendant lights - these fittings will adorn your space for years.
- Style: Rattan Pendant Lights are a great way to add some rustic charm and a natural look. The wicker lamp shade can be incorporated into a number of styles to suit traditional and contemporary decors.
- Rooms: Rattan wicker pendants can be used in any room - browse our collection and add some charm to a bedroom, kitchen island, over a dining table or entry.
- Shapes and Sizes: Wicker pendants come in all shapes including Bell, Cone, Drum and Round shapes. They also vary in sizes with a diameter of anywhere from 20cm to 100cm. Our biggest pendant lights are in this category.

They are also very popular in these regions and are extensively placed in coastal, rustic or bungalow styled rooms, bars, restaurants and homes - It suits the environment, style and culture of the region and is relatively affordable there as well.
