HOW TO HANG PENDANT LIGHTS ON A SLOPED CEILING

When it comes to sloped or ‘difficult’ ceilings, we recommend keeping things simple. Whether you’re lighting a kitchen, dining room, or any living space, our pendants can adapt beautifully to sloped ceilings in any setting. Here’s our straightforward advice:

Install the Ceiling Plate at an Angle: Fit the ceiling plate directly onto the sloped ceiling, allowing the pendant to hang straight down. Gravity will do most of the work, ensuring that your pendant light hangs as it should.
Choose Adjustable Pendants: Many of our pendant lights are adjustable, making them perfect for angled ceilings. An adjustable suspension rod or chain can accommodate the height and angle of your ceiling.
Longer Cable Options: If your ceiling requires extra length, we can provide longer cables to ensure the light hangs at your preferred height.
