Gooseneck Lights & Indy Pendants Add Chic Style to British Townhouse

America isn’t the only place where gooseneck lights or vintage pendant lights have gained popularity in hip and stylish homes. This growing trend has gained traction with our friends across the pond in England as well.

On a recent post from Remodelista, readers viewed photographs of the Falmouth Townhouse, a Georgian style boutique/hotel and bar. The Falmouth Townhouse is located in the vibrant and bustling seaside community of Cornwall, England.

Kathryn Tyler of Linea Studio designed Falmouth Townhouse’s interior. Tyler told Remodelista she tries to source as much as she can locally and the palette of sea blues and tree greens was inspired by the colors and textures she encounters during her walks around the local beach.

In the bar area, Tyler used a large collection of vintage light bulb pendants. Spread out like a giant octopus, the pendants are draped in a circular shape and fan out to light nearly the entire room. Similar designs can be brought into your home as well by choosing the Barn Light Indy Industrial Pendant. You can create this dazzling effect by using a mix of  Nostalgic Edison Bulbs or stylish Half Chrome Decorative Bulbs. These throwback bulbs are available in several different sizes and styles and easily create a mix of modern with early 19th and early 20th century design.

Industrial Acrylic Pendants Add Funky Charm, Character

The kitchen table is often the focal point of the most popular room in the house. This is likely the one piece of furniture that everyone in the house uses every day. From pancake breakfasts and family dinners to the party goers that inevitably migrate here, the kitchen table is the heart of this room.

Lighting for this table should not only be functional but special in its own right such as this beautiful, industrial-style ceiling pendant. Much like Barn Light Electric’s Sector Pendant, this fixture offers a nostaglic design that instantly adds a funky charm and character to the whole room.

The Sector Pendant, found in our Barn Pendants Collection of ceiling lighting, comes with your choice of shade style. If you’d like to give your light a more decorative, historic feel, go for the ribbed acrylic shade such as this one which borrows its key features from vintage industrial lighting designs. For a sleeker, more modern look, choose a glossy metallic finish for the top cap. The Sector comes in an array of colors and finishes such as classic black, satin steel, and copper.

The Cradle Pendant also offers a similar look with its clear ribbed acrylic lens with widths ranging from 14 inches to a very generous 26 inches. The larger sizes provide a great span of light yet the ribbed lens does a fine job in softening the light that projects outward. Again, if you want a more vintage look to your light, stick with the glass shade but if you have stainless appliances in a modern kitchen, you may want to opt for one of the metallic finishes such as galvanized, painted steel, or satin steel.

Both the Sector and the Cradle pendants can be cord hung with your choice of black or white cord, or on a stem mount ranging from 6 inches to four feet long. And if you need a flush mount, we can do that too!
