Pull Down Retractable Light

Neutral, domed retractable ceiling light with adjustable height

With a canopy perfect for creating an intimate feel over a dinner table or in a reading alcove, this type of adjustable ceiling light is perfect for targeted lighting wherever you need it most. Since you can change the height, you control the intensity of the light—it’s that simple!

For a more modern take on this type of domed lamp, try one tip: Go for metallics. Copper and steel are particularly trendy right now for a more industrial look.

Perhaps your tastes skew less industrial and more minimalistic—in which case a sleek adjustable light is the best for you! With a stark silhouette that will stand out nicely against pastel or neutral walls, this type of light will provide a timeless statement that will look beautiful with a minimalist, modern aesthetic.

(We’d recommend pairing this light with a piece of furniture that has a similar circular shape somewhere in the room, just for a sense of pleasing cohesion.) 

Farmhouse pull down light fixture with three lights

Sometimes, when you have a larger space, you find that you need to have more than one light in a chandelier to keep your entire space bright and safe—and the tiny bulbs in a traditional chandelier just won’t cut it to reach every corner of your room.

Enter a farmhouse bronze chandelier with three enormous lanterns in a row! With this type of lamp, not only will your entire space be bright, you’ll have a gorgeous statement piece in the middle of your room.

For those looking for a more simple aesthetic, a one-bulb light with a simple glass cover is so subtle that it practically blends into any room!

As such, this is the perfect choice for smaller spaces and for people with very high ceilings. Just make sure that you adjust the height so that you and your loved ones won’t bump into it when you’re crossing your rooms!

Interested in a little more whimsy? A pendant light with gorgeous Edison bulbs pointing out in every direction will light your home beautifully and present a strong focal point for your room.

Since you control the height with this light, you can decide just how much of a statement you’d like it to be. Will it hover near the ceiling—or be a low, moody chandelier over a formal dining table? It’s your choice! 

A traditional lantern retractable light fixture

Want something that’s a little less statement and a little more traditional?

For farmhouse and cottage vibes, we recommend a lantern light fixture that comes with the modern versatility of adjustable height. These lights tend to come in all-metal structures—perfect for that rustic look you’re going for. (They could also work in a steampunk vintage aesthetic as well!) 

Artsy pull down ceiling light made of wineglasses

For someone with a more creative bent (or perhaps for a sommelier that you know!), a chandelier made of empty upside-down wine glasses can lend a space a nice sense of flair.

Our favorite pro tip is to look for a piece where all of the wineglasses in the display are on individual adjustable cords. That way, you can make sure that the ceiling light looks just the way you want it to—from any angle.

Interested in an adjustable ceiling lamp that’s a little more metallic and art nouveau? Feast your eyes on a ceiling light trend with lots of parallel lines, frosted glass, and a subtle anchor shape.

This type of chandelier can add a little bit of eclecticism to a more traditional, antique vibe—or, alternatively, it would be right at home in a more glam ‘20s aesthetic. 

Glam pull down light fixtures with a soft chandelier feel

There’s nothing that makes a room more than a chandelier—and ones that have dangling pastel shapes feel ethereal, delicate, and lovely.

You know what doesn’t feel lovely? Having to guess from a picture online how tall a chandelier’s going to be in your unique space. It’s far better to purchase a retractable or adjustable one, just to stay on the safe (and stress-free) side.
