Round Shades, Made by Hand
Why a Round Shade Works So Well
A globe pendant light is about as simple as a light gets, and that is a big part of why people love it. The round shade spreads light out evenly, with no harsh spots and no dark corners. It looks good from every angle, which matters over an island or at the top of the stairs where you see it from below. Our globes come in clear, seeded, and milk glass, with finishes like black, brass, and oil-rubbed bronze.
Handcrafted in America
We are one of the only lighting companies that still makes its lights here in America. Each globe pendant light is put together by hand in our shop, with sturdy metal, good wiring, and UL-rated parts. You won't get a thin, wobbly fixture that came off an overseas assembly line. When you hang one of our lights, you can tell somebody took their time with it.
Picking the Right Size and Height
Before you order a globe pendant light, grab a tape measure. Over a kitchen island, globes about 10 to 14 inches wide usually look right. Over a dining table, one globe around 16 to 20 inches wide fills the space nicely. Hang the bottom of the globe about 30 to 36 inches above the counter or table. In a hallway or entryway, leave at least 7 feet of headroom so nobody bumps into it.
Find the Globe That Fits Your Room
Glass Globe Pendant Lights That Let the Light Through
Glass globe pendant lights in clear or seeded glass show off the bulb inside and give you plenty of bright light. Clear glass is great when you need to see what you're doing, like over the sink or the stove. Seeded glass has tiny bubbles in it that soften the glow a little and give it an old-fashioned look. Add a vintage-style bulb and it looks good whether it's on or off.
Globe Pendant Light Fixtures for Every Room
Globe pendant light fixtures work in more rooms than you might think. Hang one over the kitchen table, at the top of the stairs, beside the bed in place of a lamp, or in the middle of a short hallway. A single globe makes a nice, quiet statement. A row of them over an island gives the kitchen a clear center. Add a matching wall sconce or two nearby and the whole room looks like it was planned together.
A Large Globe Pendant Light for Big Spaces
A large globe pendant light gives a tall entryway, a vaulted living room, or a long dining table the presence it needs. A big round shade fills the space overhead without crowding it, since your eye moves right past the curves. Look for a globe 16 inches or wider when the ceiling is high or the table seats six or more.
A White Globe Pendant Light for a Soft, Clean Look
A white globe pendant light gives off a gentle, even glow that is easy on the eyes. The frosted or opal glass hides the bulb, so there's no glare when you look up. It suits a white farmhouse kitchen, a cottage bedroom, or a laundry room where you want bright light without squinting.
Milk Glass Globe Pendant Light With Old-Fashioned Charm
A milk glass globe pendant light is the kind of light you may remember from your grandmother's kitchen or the old five-and-dime. The thick, creamy white glass glows warm when it's on and looks like a little piece of history when it's off. It goes well with farmhouse and cottage rooms, and it pairs nicely with brass or black hardware.
Pendant Globe Lights Over the Kitchen Island
Pendant globe lights hung in a row over your island give you good light to chop, stir, and serve. Two globes work for most islands under 6 feet long, and three look right on a longer one. Space them about 24 to 30 inches apart so each one has room and the light stays even from end to end.
Mid-Century Modern Style Globe Pendant Lights With Clean Lines
Mid-century modern style globe pendant lights bring back the clean, simple shapes that were everywhere in the 1950s and 60s. Think smooth white or opal globes on slim brass or black stems. They look sharp in a den, over a breakfast nook, or in a house built in that era that deserves lights to match.
Vintage Globe Pendant Lights With Real Character
Vintage globe pendant lights have the look of fixtures that have hung in the same house for years. Schoolhouse shapes, seeded glass, and darker finishes like oil-rubbed bronze give them an old soul. They are a good pick for an older home, or for a newer one that could use a little more personality.
Small Globe Pendant Lights for Tight Spots
Small globe pendant lights fit places where a big fixture would feel crowded. Try one over the kitchen sink, in a narrow hallway, in a walk-in closet, or as a pair beside the bed. A globe 6 to 8 inches wide gives plenty of light without getting in the way, and a few grouped together make a fun cluster over a small table.
Bring Home a Globe Pendant Light
A globe pendant light is a small change that makes a big difference in how a room feels. Every order ships free, and a portion of every sale helps provide food, water, and shelter for children in need. Pick the size and glass you like best and enjoy that soft, round glow for years to come.
