From the grandeur of chandeliers to the sleek versatility of pendant lights and the practicality of spotlights, our range of decorative ceiling lights offers diverse designs and functionality in any space.
Pendant Lights
Pendant lights hang gracefully from the ceiling on a chain or rod and are a popular choice for kitchens and dining rooms. Hanging lights truly shine in spaces with higher ceilings – imagine a striking pendant adding an artistic touch to a hallway or staircase. They are also perfect for kitchen island lighting or providing a focal point over dining tables.
From sleek, sophisticated glass pendants offering timeless illumination to unique materials like rattan that bring a natural, textured feel, pendant lights provide endless possibilities for personal expression. Pedant ceiling lights fit beautifully into contemporary, traditional, and industrial décor themes.

Chandeliers
Chandeliers bring an undeniable touch of elegance and luxury to any room. Modern chandeliers come in various styles and finishes such as brass, glass and crystal, fitting seamlessly into modern, industrial, or classic interiors. These lights are the perfect statement piece to elevate the elegance of dining areas, living rooms, and hallways. A well-chosen chandelier doesn't just light up a room; it becomes a captivating focal point, instantly making rooms feel warmer and more inviting.
Bar Pendant Lights
Bar pendant lights offer a contemporary twist on traditional pendant lighting. Perfect for lining up over kitchen islands or long dining tables, bar pendant lights create a stunning visual impact. The multi-light bar pendant design provides ample illumination and a striking aesthetic in modern homes, offering focused downward light that’s both practical for tasks and aesthetically pleasing. With stunning finishes like polished chrome and antique brass, many of these lights incorporate energy-efficient LED technology, blending style with sustainability.
Ceiling lights offer more than just functionality; they can help set the mood and enhance the aesthetic of any room. They can transform your space, bridging the gap between utility and elegance.
What lighting solutions for low ceilings are available?
Flush-mount lights sit snugly against the ceiling, offering a space-saving design that keeps rooms open and uncluttered. Their sleek appearance with hidden wiring is perfect for a neat, contemporary look. Semi-flush-mount lights extend slightly, providing more design presence without compromising precious headroom. Both are fantastic options for providing ample light while maintaining that crucial sense of space in rooms with low ceilings.
How do I choose the right ceiling light for my space?
The perfect ceiling light should illuminate your space without overwhelming it, creating harmony between other light sources in your room. Traditionally fitted in the centre of a space, ceiling lights are often the primary light source in a room. However, they have evolved beyond simple functionality and are now integral to interior design. Here is what you should consider when choosing ceiling lights:
Consider your room design
Pairing ceiling lights with room design can create balance and visual interest in a space. For those adventurous at heart, combining different lighting styles can create an eclectic and personalised look – try pairing modern ceiling lights with retro pendant lights. In dining and kitchen areas, strategically placed fixtures such as clusters of low-hanging ceiling lights can provide perfect task lighting.
Consider your room size
While personal taste reigns supreme, flush-mount ceiling lights are inherently suited to low-ceiling rooms and passageways where headroom is key. If ceiling space is tight, complementing ceiling lights with wall lights or recessed lighting can be a great strategy to avoid a cramped feeling, especially in smaller rooms. Dimmer-equipped ceiling lights also allow for adaptable lighting in small and large rooms, catering to varying mood requirements.
Match your style
No matter what your style is, industrial's rugged feel with exposed bulbs and unfinished metals, farmhouse's warmth with natural materials, modern style's sleek lines, or vintage's timeless look, we have lighting designs that'll complement your space. Our options range from rough metal and warm brass to stunning handmade artisan glass so that you can find the perfect pairing for your space.
Which ceiling lighting is best for a specific room?
While many lights can work in multiple rooms, here are some popular pairings:
- Kitchen: Often the heart of the home, kitchens need versatile lighting. Ceiling pendant lights look fantastic and provide essential task lighting over islands at suitable heights. Spotlights and spotlight bars are excellent for directing light onto workspaces, while multi-light bar pendants add a modern focal point. Remember to check if your chosen lights are compatible with dimmer switches for adjustable ambience.
- Living room: This is where you socialise and relax, so the lighting should reflect that. Softer ceiling lights often work best to create a welcoming environment. The ceiling light can be a key style element, from traditional to more industrial designs. A beautiful pendant or chandelier can act as a stunning statement piece, adding elegance and drawing the eye.
- Bedroom: Your personal sanctuary deserves calm, ambient lighting. Soft cotton shades or dimmable statement chandeliers can create a wonderfully restful ambience. Smoked glass pendants are popular for setting a soothing mood. Pendants can even double as stylish bedside lighting. Layering ceiling lights with bedside lamps or wall lights is key for balancing function and comfort.
- Bathroom: Bathroom ceiling lights must have an appropriate IP rating (IP44 or higher) to protect against moisture. We have many stylish choices, from sleek flush designs to practical spotlight bars in chrome or matte black finishes. Brightness (measured in Lumens) is essential here – you need clear light. Options range from opal glass flush lights for diffused illumination to multi-directional spotlights for targeted brightness.
