Pendant Lighting

Pendant lighting refers to suspended light fixtures that hang from the ceiling—typically by a rod, chain, or cord—and provide both functional and ambient lighting. These lights are incredibly versatile, serving as statement pieces over kitchen islands, dining tables, stairwells, and entryways.

At House of Isabella, pendant lighting merges form and function, offering everything from industrial-style clusters to elegant glass domes and luxurious multi-tiered designs.
