Ceiling lights can make or break your living room. With thousands of different designs, shapes, colours and styles to choose from, it can be overwhelming to know what lights are best for you. Our team at Ironmongery Experts have put together this guide to outline some of the most popular choices, and help you choose the best ceiling lights for your living room, bathroom, bedroom or any other room that needs brightening up!  

When choosing the type of light you want, it’s important to consider your rooms size, style and general aesthetic, as well as what mood you want your light to create. Here are some of the most popular types of ceiling lights that look great wherever they are. 

Chandeliers   

Intricate and pleasing to look at, chandeliers are perfect for big rooms with high ceilings. Not only do they create a focal point, but they provide an ornate touch to any room and can be matched to your personality. They cast light to all corners of your room and will certainly brighten shadowy areas. While crystal and electric candle chandeliers are the most common, there are plenty of styles and designs, branching from bamboo to brass to contemporary.  

Pendant lights  

Pendant lights are perhaps the most versatile, yet stylish option for any space. Bar pendants are very popular with dining rooms, due to their unique but practical shape, but also look great in contemporary-style bedrooms.   

Lights like this From the Anvil Burnished Hockley Pendant are great for adding some personality to a living room, and these are adjustable, allowing you to hang them at different levels, according to your room’s needs. If you’re not feeling a design so bold, the From the Anvil Dark Grey Hammered Brass Hockley Pendant offers a more sleek, sophisticated look.  

For a more traditional look, why not get a Black Smooth Brass Harborne Pendant for your bedroom? It comes fully wired with a matching ceiling rose and has a 1.5m black fabric cable. For your kitchen, the From the Anvil Pale Blue White Harborne Pendant would be perfect, as it’s a mix of sophistication and style, with its blue finish and smooth white interior.  

Ceiling fans 

Ceiling fan lights are brilliant at brightening up any room, while also circulating cool, fresh air – creating a gentle breeze. They’re great for warm weather and look smart. However, they are usually quite large, and can take up a lot of ceiling space - which many people enjoy - but, it's a matter of personal preference.
