If you want to update or personalize your home, lighting is a great place to start, and an oversize pendant light really makes a statement. Oversize pendants work well with many design styles. Sleek modern design often calls for some type of metal light fixture while a woven light looks great with a more traditional or costal style.

Some of the most common areas for oversize pendants are over an island, down a hallway, in a living room, or my favorite, over a kitchen or dining table. Notice how each of these helps complement the round shape of the table.

Although design generally favors repetition in 3s, when it comes to overside pendant lighting you generally want to go with 1 or 2 max. I like how the two lights here trick your eye into taking the table in as the 3rd item and really draw the dining space together even though it is part of an open concept.

Oversize lantern pendants are a great choice for a more traditional space. Using gold lanterns here helps to accentuate the shine of the stools, fixtures, and cabinet hardware helping to keep your eye moving around the room.
