A woven pendant over the table turns dinner into an occasion. Lower the lights and the shade glows, with a soft pattern on the ceiling that a plain fixture cannot give you.
For a balanced look, choose a shade about half to two-thirds the width of your table and hang it 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop. Long table? Two matching pendants often work better than one oversized shade. Low ceiling? See the flush mounts in this collection.
