Why choose a gold pendant light?

Gold is a colour you see less often in interiors, and that's exactly why a gold pendant light immediately stands out. Its warm, shiny surface reflects the light and gives a room a refined, luxurious look. That makes gold a great choice for the living room or above the dining table, where the light acts as a statement piece. One thing to bear in mind: gold isn't the easiest colour to combine. But if you already have gold or brass accents in your home, such as taps, cabinet handles or accessories, a gold pendant light will fit in beautifully.

Popular types of gold pendant light

Round gold pendant lights are simple in shape, which makes them both timeless and elegant. Some models are fully gold, while others combine gold with black for a sharper contrast. For a slightly more rugged interior, an industrial gold pendant light is a great addition, and designer pendant lights with gold accents stand out with their bold, distinctive design. Sand gold and brass feature often too: a little more understated than shiny gold, but with the same warm look.

Combining gold with glass

Gold really comes into its own alongside glass. Gold with amber glass is a popular pairing: both have a warm, golden tone, creating a cosy, chic atmosphere. Gold with smoked glass looks more elegant and modern, especially on models with a mirror effect. If you'd like more contrast, a black pendant light with gold details is a beautiful alternative.

Which light source suits a gold pendant light?

Most of our gold pendant lights are fitted with an E27 lampholder, while smaller models often have an E14 or G9 lampholder. For a warm atmosphere that suits the gold tone, choose warm white light (around 2700K); a filament bulb enhances that luxurious effect even further. On models with glass globes, also check the size of the bulb: sometimes a Ø45 mm bulb fits where a Ø60 mm one won't. The exact bulb fitting and size you need are always listed in the product details.
