# Title: Farmhouse Pendant Lights ## Description: Farmhouse pendant lights take the shape of a barn shade and hang it over a kitchen island. The shades are wide and shallow, the finishes run to matte black, aged metal and warm wood, and the light lands in a defined pool rather than spreading flat across the ceiling. Most shapes here started on a working building. How to choose farmhouse pendant lights Width is the first decision. A shallow dome between 10 and 14 inches across suits a run of two or three over an island, while a single shade above a sink or a small table can sit at 8 to 10 inches without looking lost. Wider shades throw a tighter pool, so the wider you go the more overlap you need between fixtures. Material comes second. Painted metal gives a hard edge and a crisp shadow line, galvanized and aged surfaces carry visible texture that hides fingerprints, and a wood or rattan element warms the fixture against white cabinetry. Seeded or clear glass in a caged shade lets the lamp show, which turns a work light into an ornament.

On a cage or an open frame the lamp is fully visible, so a filament style bulb belongs to the look rather than being a detail. Hardwire or plug in Several models here offer both. Wired means a connection at the ceiling box and no visible cable. Plugged in means a cord to an outlet and a ceiling hook, which suits a rental or a room with no box. Suspended The fixture hangs below the ceiling on a cord, a chain or a rod. That is how most of this range is built, and the drop is normally set during installation to suit the counter or the table below. Dimmable on request A good share of this page is not dimmable as supplied but can be built that way before the order ships. Where a fixture takes a replaceable lamp, a dimmable bulb and a matching wall control do the same job. IP20 The dry indoor rating carried by most fixtures here. It confirms the body is closed against fingers and offers nothing against water, which rules out a spot directly over a sink in a steam path. Kitchen layouts that suit farmhouse pendant lights An opaque metal shade sends nearly all of its output straight down, which is useful over a work surface and thin as general room light. Above an island, hold the bottom of each shade 30 to 36 inches over the counter and set the fixtures 24 to 30 inches apart. Above a farm sink, one shade centered on the basin at roughly 34 inches clears a tall faucet. Plan recessed cans or a ceiling fixture alongside, since a kitchen lit by these alone gets bright counters and dark corners. What bulb suits a barn shade? A warm lamp between 2400K and 2700K matches the aged finishes and the wood tones this family uses. Where the shade is open or made of seeded glass the bulb is visible, so a squirrel cage or a globe filament shape does more for the look than a bare A19. Do these shades work outside a kitchen? They do over a dining table, a workbench or a stair landing, anywhere the light is meant to land on a surface. In a bedroom or a lounge the downward pool can feel hard, so pair the fixture with a table lamp or a wall light lower in the room. Compare with Modern Pendant Lights, Minimalist Pendant Lights, Scandinavian Pendant Lights and Farmhouse Chandeliers. Everything in this category sits under Pendant Lights. What are the different styles of farmhouse pendant lights? Three. The barn or gooseneck shade, a wide enameled metal dome, often with a ribbed edge, which throws a broad pool straight down. The glazed lantern, a small glass box or cylinder on a stem, which suits a hallway or a sink as readily as an island. And the woven or timber shade, cane, jute or slatted wood, which reads softer and sends more light sideways. The barn shade is the task light of the three; the other two are atmosphere with some useful light. How much does a farmhouse pendant light cost on this page? Between $146 and $670 across 33 fixtures here. The median lands at $230 and nine in ten come in under $350. Enameled metal and timber keep this range tight compared with glass or stone categories. How many pendants fit over a kitchen island? Two for an island up to about 7 feet, three once it passes 8 feet, spaced 24 to 30 inches center to center with the outer pendants at least 6 inches inside the ends. The practical check is to add the shade widths and keep the total under half the island length, because a wide barn dome eats that budget faster than a small lantern. The bottom of each shade sits 30 to 36 inches above the counter. ## Products count: 33 ## Link: https://www.orodwell.com/collections/farmhouse-pendant-lights ## Products - [Rustic Hanging Lamp in Birch Wood 16 to 31 in for Living Rooms](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/birch-wood-pendant-light-living-room-rustic-hanging-fixture) - [Wood Cage Pendant Light Birdcage Chandelier Rustic Fixture for Home](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/wood-cage-pendant-light-birdcage-chandelier-rustic-wood) - [Wood and Metal Pendant Light in Birch 40 to 80 cm Wide](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/rustic-birch-wood-hanging-pendant-light-cozy-living-area) - [Bamboo Pendant Light with Rustic Cage Shade 9 to 22 in E27](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/bamboo-pendant-light-dimmable) - [20 Inch Pendant Light with a Silk Shade on a Metal Frame](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/led-silk-pendant-light-circular) - [14 Inch Pendant Light with an Iron Shade Wired or Plug In](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/led-iron-pendant-light-adjustable) - [Rattan Large Pendant Light on a Metal Frame 50 or 60 cm](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/rattan-pendant-light-handwoven) - [Kitchen Pendant Light in Bamboo Cage 9 to 22 in Remote Switch](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/bamboo-pendant-light-kitchen) - [Rattan Large Pendant Light Handwoven up to 80 cm Across](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/led-rattan-pendant-light) - [Silk Pendant Light in Metal and Silk from 30 to 50 cm](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/led-silk-pendant-light) - [Bamboo Pendant Light LED Dimmable Design for Kitchen and Bathroom](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/led-bamboo-pendant-light) - [Rustic Pendant Light with Feather Detailed Glass Shade 6 in](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/cream-glass-pendant-light) - [Bar Pendant Lights in Wood and Iron with a Bucket Shade](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/metal-pendant-light-sculptural-living-room) - [Artichoke Pendant Light in Natural Wood 40 cm Diameter](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/wood-pendant-light-sculptural) - [Wood Drum Pendant Light with a Soft Fabric Shade 40 cm](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/fabric-pendant-light-living-room) - [Cage Pendant Light in Bamboo Wood 9 to 22 in Remote Control](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/bamboo-pendant-light-cage) - [Frosted Glass Pendant Lamp in a Brass Frame Rose Tulip or Lily](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/led-brass-pendant-light-blossom) - [Matte Black Pendant Light with 5 or 7 Adjustable G9 Spots](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/led-black-pendant-light-square) - [Polished Brass Pendant Light with a 20 cm Ceramic Dome Shade](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/led-ceramic-pendant-light-dome) - [Rustic Hanging Lamp in Pleated Ceramic with Brushed Brass](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/led-ceramic-pendant-light-warm) - [Disc Pendant Light in Aluminium and Oak Dome Disk or Drum](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/led-white-pendant-light-dome) - [3 Light Pendant Light in Ribbed Ceramic with a Mounting Bar](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/led-ceramic-pendant-light-dining) - [Lantern Pendant Lamp in Ribbed Ceramic on a Metal Fixture](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/led-ceramic-pendant-light-bedroom-warm) - [Antique Brass Pendant Light with a Black Clay Ceramic Dome 20 cm](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/led-ceramic-pendant-light-living) - [14 Inch Pendant Light in Black Clay Ceramic Dome 14.6 in Wide](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/ceramic-pendant-light-dome) - [Small Pendant Light in Textured Stone Black Metal and Wood 20 cm](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/led-wood-pendant-light-black) - [Dome Pendant Lights in Ceramic 20 cm with a Brass Holder](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/led-ceramic-pendant-light-spherical) - [Wood Drum Pendant Light in Wood and Metal for Kitchen or Bar](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/wood-pendant-light-linear) - [Matte Black Pendant Light with Birdcage Shade 13 in Chain Hung](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/black-chandelier-warm) - [Iron Chandelier Soft Ambient Glow Design for Dining Accent Decor Piece](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/iron-chandelier-dining-soft) - [Teardrop Pendant Lamp in Sky Blue Glass with Brass Details](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/led-brass-pendant-light-dimmable) - [Wooden Pendant Light with 3 or 4 Lights 39.3 in Wide Farmhouse](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/wood-pendant-light-layered) - [Alabaster Pendant Light in Marble and Iron 12 in Single Light](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/led-alabaster-pendant-light) ## Metafields - title_tag: Farmhouse Pendant Lights | Hanging Lights - description_tag: Farmhouse pendant lights with barn shades and matte black finishes.
