For price and style, the Tangent mini pendants from Article cannot be beat.
“Black has nearly taken over,” says Johnson, adding the combination of black and brass is hot, hot, hot. “Black and gold is really, really popular, more than I’ve ever seen,” Johnson says. The black powder-coated shades on these pendant lights are accented with brass, and hung from fabric-wrapped cords for a sleek, polished look.
One five-star reviewer on Article.com writes: “Well made with solid materials. The look and size I was looking for. Couldn’t be more pleased!”

To create a custom appearance with mainstream pricing, turn to the West Elm collection of glass shades. Prices vary depending on shade, size, bulb and wiring, but a basic hardwired small clear globe and Edison light bulb begins at around $80 and goes up from there.
They’re all here: smoked glass, clear glass, frosted glass, globes, geometric shades. And, Johnson says, you can definitely use them all together. “It is truly anything goes,” she says. She still sees customers gravitating toward Edison bulbs, and using different-shaped bulbs to change the look inside the fixture.

Johnson says customers definitely prefer oversized pendants to small ones. This giant (24-in. diameter) jute drum pendant from Lulu and Georgia fills a space without making it feel cluttered. And in boho, coastal and other casual indoor spaces, this fixture adds welcome texture.
It features an adjustable hanging height of 18 to 60 inches and a 48-inch cord. It can be hung on a sloped ceiling.
Tara F., a verified buyer on the Lulu and Georgia web site, raved about this light.
“My husband and I had a challenging ceiling in our dining room; there’s no attic space above it and the ceiling is vaulted,” she writes. “It took us a very long time to find a pendant that was light enough to be compatible with our existing wiring. Until we found these!!! Wow, we’re so impressed and get tons of compliments on them!”
