Large Outdoor Pendant Light

Transitional large outdoor pendant

A popular dilemma concerning patios is the conflicting desire to match one’s contemporary interior design while also creating a cozy set-up.

Well, here’s a bright solution for you: a large outdoor pendant light in a transitional design.

By combining smooth lines, a neutral finish and some more traditional elements (for example, this chain and oversized hoop), you’ll truly get the best of both worlds.

Your passion for the trends from previous decades doesn’t necessarily mean that you must stick to widely known and instantly recognizable designs.

In fact, you can choose to inspire some retro vibes while still experimenting with less predictable shapes: as long as you maintain a couple of traditional elements (for example, some candle-shaped lights and an iron or bronze finish), you can really unleash your creativity.

Large outdoor pendant lighting for ambiance

If, you won’t settle for anything less than the most magical dim ambiance, your safest choice is a large outdoor pendant light in a frosted glass design.

Unless you’re planning on complementing it with some additional lighting solutions (such as lamps or wall sconces), we mainly recommend this style for casual seating areas rather than outdoor dining tables. 

Statement outdoor lighting

ARTERIORS

Rather than a primarily functional glow, your large outdoor pendant light can become the most noticeable accent element in your entire patio area.

If that sounds more like your vision, opt for an attention-grabbing design that still works with your specific decor style. For example, starburst shapes are an iconic mid-century modern trend.

Does your patio furniture involve several wicker or rattan pieces? Then create a cohesive look by scouting for a large outdoor hanging lantern in the same material and style.

This is particularly effective in creating a stylish but casual seating area for informal gatherings and catch-ups with friends.

Traditional looking extra large outdoor hanging light with candles

To emphasize a more nostalgic approach, nothing beats the look of traditional street lamps.

A lantern-style outdoor pendant light will immediately inspire an evocative and romantic ambiance, but you can take this to the next level by choosing a design that also includes some electric candles. 

Industrial large outdoor hanging lights

Normally, we’d advise against exposed light bulbs in an outdoor setting, and that’s simply because closed designs do a better job of avoiding a glare that could get in the way of your desired vibes.

However, there’s no denying that exposed light bulbs are a must in industrial decor.

If you’d like to reinforce it but still ensure a dim ambiance, consider choosing a bulb with lower wattage or a large outdoor hanging light with a dimmable feature.

Nautical outdoor hanging lantern

When thinking of lanterns, it’s impossible not to picture their classic nautical design, the kind you’ve always seen in movies or even real-life maritime locations.

If you live by the sea or have opted for either coastal or nautical interiors, introduce them in your patio with a large outdoor pendant light celebrating this typical cage-like design.

Extra large outdoor hanging lighting with a whimsical feel

Let us guess: you love fairy lights, woodland creatures, and everything magical?

Then your new large outdoor pendant light can actively help you craft the most fairytale-esque ambiance for you and your guests.

Instead of clean lines and contemporary finishes, consider harmonious designs that look as if they had been handmade by gnomes and fairies. A similar copper finish can be a charming twist, too.
