Pendant lights work best when you choose three things together: the physical size of the fitting, the shade shape that controls glare and spread, and the light source that sets brightness and colour. In this guide, you can match those choices to table lighting, kitchen islands and living rooms, then compare the shop’s current lighting range, prices and delivery terms in one place.

The current lighting range is in Designer Lighting, with 4 models priced from €190 to €479, including examples around 50 x 50 x 20 cm. For room planning, it also helps to consider nearby furniture proportions, such as Dining Chairs, which include 17 models at €90–€249, and larger seating like Eames Lounge Chairs, which include 39 models at €275–€1199.
How do you choose pendant lights for the right size, shade and light?
Start by matching the fitting to the surface or zone below it, then choose a shade that sends light where you need it and a bulb or LED that gives the right colour temperature. A pendant should look in scale when switched off and still light the area properly when switched on.
Size comes first because it decides visual balance. A compact shade can disappear above a large dining table, while an oversized fitting can dominate a small room. In this shop’s current range, the black spun pendant is sold as a set of three, each about 36 cm wide and 16 cm high, while the transparent sphere pendant is Ø 50 cm and about 20 cm high, and the leaf pendant is Ø 48 cm and about 49.7 cm high.
Shade design comes next because it changes both comfort and effect. Open or partly open shades throw more direct light downward and outward. Layered shades reduce glare and soften the bulb view. Decorative clear shades sparkle more, but they also depend heavily on the bulb you choose. For background on the fixture type itself, see this neutral pendant light overview.
Light source matters just as much as form. Colour temperature is measured in kelvin (K): warm white is about 2,700–3,000 K, neutral or natural white about 3,500–4,500 K, and cool white or daylight about 5,000–6,500 K. Brightness is measured in lumens (lm), and power use in watts (W). If a fitting uses an E27 bulb, that is the standard large screw fitting in Europe.
The three main lighting shapes in this range each solve a different problem. A sphere pendant guide suits rooms where you want the fitting to be seen from several angles. A leaf pendant guide explains how layered construction reduces glare. A black spun pendant guide is useful if you are planning a row above a counter or table.
What are the decisive criteria before you buy?
The decisive criteria are placement, glare control, bulb compatibility, cable adjustability and whether you need one fitting or a grouped arrangement. If you answer those five points clearly, most buying mistakes disappear before checkout.
1) Placement. Over a dining table, the goal is usually centred, focused light. Over a kitchen island, the question is often whether one large fitting or several smaller ones fit the length better. In a living room, the fitting may need to light a zone rather than a table edge. For those room-specific decisions, see Pendant Light Over Dining Table: Size, Shape and Colour, Kitchen Island Pendant Lights: Size, Number and Fit and Living Room Pendant Light: How to Choose the Right One.
2) Glare control. The leaf pendant, Ø 48 cm, about 49.7 cm high, uses 72 leaves in 12 rows and is described as glare-free light. That makes it the most suitable of the three current lamp types when the bulb should be shielded from normal seated sightlines.
3) Bulb or LED format. The leaf pendant uses a standard E27 fitting and is LED-compatible. The transparent sphere pendant is also LED-compatible. The black spun pendant has integrated dimmable LED, so there is no separate bulb format to choose; its colour temperature is not published.
4) Finish and light effect. Clear acrylic spheres create sparkle and visible texture. White or brushed-silver leaves create a calmer sculptural look. A matt black outer shade with a brass-toned inside sends a warmer visual impression downward, especially over darker tables or counters. If you are considering a dark fitting, the room-planning notes in Black Pendant Light: Best Rooms and Placement Tips help.
5) Scale with furniture. Lighting does not sit in isolation. If you are pairing a pendant with compact seating, a dining set such as the Set of Two Eames DSW Chairs Replica PU Leather Black at €90, 47 x 53 x 83 cm (W x L x H), or the Set of Four Eames DSW Chairs Replica PU Leather Black at €150, 47 x 53 x 83 cm (W x L x H), calls for a pendant that does not feel too heavy overhead.

What does it cost and what does delivery involve?
Lighting in the current range costs €190 to €479, and delivery terms are the same shop-wide: free tracked DPD delivery to the 25 checkout countries, dispatch within 1–2 working days, and typical delivery within 6–9 working days door to door. The price shown is the price paid, with no extra charge added at checkout and no customs or handling charge collected on delivery in those countries.
Free delivery applies to Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Bulgaria, Greece, Malta and Cyprus are not offered at checkout; customers there need to email support@decomica.com before ordering.
Orders are dispatched within 1–2 working days of confirmation. Tracking details are emailed as soon as the order is dispatched. DPD delivers to the delivery address, fully tracked. Most single-product orders ship in one package; larger items may arrive in more than one box, and multi-item orders may be split across deliveries but are dispatched together. Weekend delivery is not part of the standard service.
The published policies apply across the range, not only lighting. Returns can be requested within 14 days from delivery if the item is unused and in its original packaging, with return authorisation from support@decomica.com. For a change of mind, the refund is made minus a €40 return fee that covers DPD collection. If an item arrives faulty, damaged in transit or wrong, the return is free and DPD collects from the customer’s door. Every piece also has a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
What mistakes should you avoid?
The most common mistakes are choosing only by appearance, ignoring glare, forgetting bulb format, and hanging a visually heavy fitting in a small room. Good pendant choices are practical first and decorative second.
Mistake 1: treating diameter as the only size. Height matters too. A Ø 48 cm fitting that is about 49.7 cm high has much more visual presence than a Ø 50 cm fitting that is about 20 cm high. The first reads as sculptural volume; the second reads as a lower profile globe.
Mistake 2: overlooking shade behaviour. A clear sphere and a layered leaf shade create very different light. If exposed sparkle is the aim, the transparent sphere pendant is the better fit. If shielded light is more important, the leaf pendant is the safer choice.
Mistake 3: not checking dimming properly. A dimmable light needs a dimmable bulb and a compatible dimmer. The black spun pendant includes integrated dimmable LED, but its colour temperature is not published. The leaf pendant and transparent sphere pendant are LED-compatible, but the exact bulb performance depends on the bulb you choose.
Mistake 4: forgetting finish interaction. Brushed silver can feel cooler unless paired with a warm-white LED bulb; the silver leaf version specifically recommends a warm-white LED bulb to bring out the silver tone.
Black-and-brass shades often suit wood and leather combinations well, especially in dining areas near pieces such as the Classic Charles Eames Lounge Chair And Ottoman Replica Tan Brown Leather – Walnut Wood Normal Base at €859, 87 x 85 x 84 cm (W x L x H), or the Charles Eames Lounge Chair And Ottoman Replica – Tan Brown – Walnut Wood – Chrome Base at €889, 87 x 85 x 84 cm (W x L x H).
Mistake 5: planning the fitting without the room’s larger pieces. A reading corner with the Charles Eames Lounge Chair And Ottoman Replica – Black – Light Wood Rose wood – Elephant Base at €879, 87 x 85 x 84 cm (W x L x H) or the Tall Version Eames Lounge Chair And Ottoman Replica – Black – Rose wood – Elephant Base at €949, 84 x 85 x 89 cm (W x L x H) may suit a single statement pendant, while a long table often looks better with repeated smaller forms.
If your room combines lounge seating and task seating, note the scale difference between a lounge chair and an office chair such as the Eames office chair EA 217 Light Grey Leather – Replica – Soft pad Low back at €339, 59 x 61 x 90 cm (W x L x H).
A pendant above a desk zone generally wants tighter visual control than one above a casual seating area. For a larger sculptural reference point, the Chaise Longue LC4 Pony Skin Le Corbusier Chair at €849, 56 x 160 x 69 cm (W x L x H) shows how long, low furniture changes what overhead volume feels balanced.
Which type suits each room?
The clearest rule is simple: grouped shades often suit long surfaces, layered shades suit glare-sensitive positions, and clear or decorative forms suit open rooms where the fitting is part of the view. Room use should decide the fixture type before finish does.
For a dining table, start with a centred fitting if the table is compact, or repeated fittings if the table is long. The transparent sphere pendant can act as a single focal point. The black spun set of three is more naturally suited to linear placement. For a kitchen island, the grouped black spun option already solves the “how many fittings?” question with a set of three. For a living room, the leaf pendant works when the light source should feel softer from different seating positions.
If you are coordinating with other categories in the room, the range also includes Accessories at €139–€479 and Special Offers at €90–€849. For taller seating proportions in open-plan rooms, see examples such as the Tall Version Eames Lounge Chair And Ottoman Replica – Black – Walnut Wood at €979, 84 x 85 x 89 cm (W x L x H) or the Tall Version Eames Lounge Chair And Ottoman Replica – White – Walnut Wood at €949, 84 x 85 x 89 cm (W x L x H).
