For an eye-catching silhouette that'll stun in your home, consider Sea Gull Lighting's Dormer Pendant. The industrial-style pendant light is budget-friendly and offered in multiple finishes, so it's easy to create your ideal look.

The lamp’s shade is made up of two parts—a steel ellipse that matches the lamp’s base and a metal shade that fans out. This shade is relatively short, so it exposes the bulb underneath it, adding yet another geometric element into the mix.

The fixture is crafted entirely from steel and is offered in three sleek finishes—solid brass, solid silver, or black and brass. The pendant is damp-rated as well, meaning it's as suited for bathrooms as it is a kitchen or bedroom.

If you want to brighten up your space on a budget, Breakwater Bay's Single Bell Pendant is a great option. The wallet-friendly style has a minimal look and can work in a variety of rooms, from kitchens to living rooms and beyond.

The light is made with a brass finish and a frosted white shade that'll work well with any design aesthetic. Plus, the lightweight design comes with a lightbulb and is sloped ceiling adaptable, so you won't have to worry about installation—just be sure to put it in a dry location like a kitchen or bedroom.

Whether you're designing a bedroom or you anticipate needing multiple pendant lights, Tomshine's Metal Pendants Light set is a great option. The budget-friendly set includes two metal dome lights, each of which boasts a matte black exterior and a striking gold interior.

The lights are crafted from metal, so they feel durable and look industrial. Plus, their two-toned palette lends them a kind of versatile warmth. Since they’re so simple, they should play well with a variety of decor schemes, and they’re sure to look particularly great when paired with other black accents.

Anthropologie's Eloise Pendant is a bit of an investment piece, but the vintage-inspired design makes a case for why it's worth it. The light is offered in two colors, blue, and mint, and you can choose between a hardwired or plug-in style for the white option, making it easy to find an option that works perfectly in your home.

The pendant’s base is crafted from plated metal, which is coated with an oiled bronze finish for an antique look. Take a closer look at this metal, and you’ll notice that ornate leaves have been carved into it, only furthering its vintage appeal. The lamp’s shade is crafted from cloudy milk glass—an opaque material that promises to spread light throughout your space. This cloudiness makes the lamp a great pick for rooms where you crave diffused, ambient light, like in a bedroom or living room.

Though professional installation is required, the lighting comes with a mounting plate and pole kit, so you'll have everything you need to set it up.

Globe Electric's Nate Pendant replaces the need to stock up on several different pendant lights. The design descends from the ceiling and then branches out into four smaller lamps, which are displayed in a row. This mimics the look and feel of a row of pendant lights, but lets you skip out on the process of installing more than one fixture.

This light will demand a fair amount of space in your kitchen. But since it’s designed to replace four different pendant lights, it ends up being a pretty space-efficient pick that'll illuminate your kitchen or dining room with ease.

AllModern’s Alex 1 - Light Single Globe Pendant is a classic globe light that would look good anywhere in your home, although its sleek profile makes it a particularly great pick for your bathroom. The light is crafted from metal, and is suitable for damp environments, meaning it won't be damaged by contact with water.

Since the light’s globe is relatively opaque, it should disperse ambient light throughout your space. It's dimmable, however, so you can choose how much lighting you want in the space. Hang two in your bathroom to frame your vanity, or simply hang one in the corner of your space—with a light this versatile, it’s pretty hard to go wrong.

Whether you're tight on space or want to forego a traditional table lamp, Wade Logan's Hanceville 1 - Light Single Schoolhouse Pendant will make for a stylish addition to any space. The light, which is offered in either a brass or black finish, is a plug-in design that makes it easy to install.

The lamp features a glass shade that works with a variety of design aesthetics, from industrial to transitional and beyond. Plus, it's designed with an on/off switch that's easy to use, especially once you're comfortable in bed.

For a light that's easy to install, consider plug-in options like Schoolhouse's Apartment Plug-In Pendant. The light will plug right into any outlet and would work well in a bedroom, at-home office, kitchen, or living room.

The light is offered in two finishes, black and khaki, and is made with a twisted cord design that'll add extra style to your space. It should be noted, however, that both the matching swinger hooks and 2.25-inch fitter will have to be purchased separately—there's a matching option, but the design also leaves room to choose any shade style of your choosing.

Pottery Barn’s Farmhouse Glass Pole Pendant offers a minimal take on the classic dome light, making it a versatile yet farmhouse-friendly pick. The light, which is offered in five hardware finishes, features a clear glass shade that'll increase the amount of light in your space.

The hardwired light includes five rod options, making the light suitable for three different ceiling heights. Plus, it's damp UL listed, meaning it's suitable for bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens as well as bathrooms.

If your design style skews towards modern design, you'll appreciate the Tomons Pendant Light. The lamp’s shade is crafted from black metal and its interior is a warm metallic gold—a sleek yet versatile combination that'll stun in any home.

The budget-friendly lamp is offered in two colors—black and white. Whether you're designing a living room, bedroom, or at-home office, the versatile piece will add a warm touch of style to your space. Plus, each light comes with one light bulb, so it'll be ready to use.

Rattan pendant lights can be a great way to add some texture to your space. And since Highland Dunes' Medrano Pendant comes in a light beige finish, it's versatile enough to match a variety of home decor you may already have.

The lamp is crafted from woven rattan, and its long dome shade promises to provide a blend of targeted and ambient light. This design makes the light a great pick for a variety of different rooms, and its gentle palette makes it an even more versatile option. Pair the piece with vibrant prints to make it feel a little more bohemian, or use it to add a welcome dose of texture to an otherwise minimalist space.
