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.

An Example: Aston Lantern

In the image below, our Aston lantern with a ribbed glass top and smoked glass bottom hangs effortlessly on a 45-degree angled ceiling. This beautiful light, hand-blown and handmade in the UK, provides a stylish and practical solution to lighting sloped spaces.
