6 Popular Interior Design Pendants You’ll Want To Light Up Your Space With
Thoughtfully selecting show-stopping luxury pieces that embody the personality of our clients is one of our favorite parts of the design process. One interior design trend that we always feature in our projects is statement pendants. See some of our favorite pendant lighting ideas below.
Pendants not only provide functional lighting, but also increase the uniqueness of a room by enhancing complementary finishes, textures, and colors featured in nearby accents.
Add Cement Pendants to your top pendant lighting ideas.
While most can only imagine concrete lighting in an industrial-style home, they actually pair well with a modern setting. Cement pendants add a subtle touch of texture and rawness to your space, creating a focal point for the room.
In our Scottsdale interior design project, Ironwood Drive, we added this elegant gray pendant to make the most of this gorgeous nook in the kitchen. The effervescence, neutral hue of this cement pendant is a welcome tone to any home, both modern and traditional.
If you long for statement lighting, this is the pendant for you! These show-stopping brass pendants incorporated in our Scottsdale interior design project, Trailside View, bring a show-stopping appeal to the space.
The pendants’ bold brass detailing create subtle hues throughout the kitchen. We love how the modern, linear lines balances with banding across the diameter of the light. Caged in the center are six candelabra sockets to offset lots of light into the kitchen.
For a subtle pop of texture, consider adding linen pendants to your space. In our Scottsdale interior design project, Hidden Hills, we added white linen Heloise Pendants to create a balance between modern and traditional elements. The iron detail on the bottom of the shade creates a beautiful lightscape that elevates the kitchen.The balance between neutrals and quieter elements in this space keep things classy and elegant!
We can’t get over this elegant, glass pendant! This light fixture creates a warm glow and satisfying blend of form and function in this gorgeous bathroom. This glass pendant has a minimalistic, smooth and cylindrical shape and the beautiful smoke glass complements a variety of environments. This gorgeous pendant doubles as a work of art!
Mixing metals creates a gorgeous outcome when done with a sense of purpose. Mixing warm metals with both cool and warm undertones can provide any space with a balanced feel.
In our Scottsdale interior design project, Fairway Drive, we added these mixed metal pendants to add a mid-century modern flair to the space. The black and brass pendants tied the space together gorgeously and added a unique element to elevate the kitchen.
Mini pendant lights add a sleek and clean appearance to just about any modern home. These pendant lights are ideal for the modern home because it combines elegance with simple design. Align these mini pendants in multiples across a table, island, counter, or bar to make a dramatic design statement.

It’s the season of gathering together. Whether you’re nestling in for a movie night or catching up over a cup of joe, this time of year is centered around the home. There’s nothing better than filling your interiors with details that will leave all guests in awe. Read on to discover eye-catching coffee tables we’ve styled in recent projects! We know you’ll love these timeless pieces as much as we do, well in to 2023 and beyond.
Rope Coffee Tables Offer Beautiful Texture without Overwhelming Your Interior
Who said coffee tables have to be boring? In our Scottsdale interior design project, Camelback Country Estates, we added this beautifully textured coffee table made from hand-braided Pandan leaves. Neutral in color, this piece is the perfect balance of showstopping and subtle. It draws guests in without overwhelming the overall interior. What more could you ask for?
Subtle Texture with a Linen Coffee Table
For an even more subtle pop of texture, consider incorporating a linen coffee table into your home. This table’s body is wrapped in a linen fabric sealed with a lacquered finish to ensure the piece is well-protected in high-traffic living spaces. The details don’t end there! We love how this table also features a recessed edge to give the illusion that it’s floating above the ground. Finding this unique piece still has us floating on Cloud 9!
Wood Coffee Tables Never Go Out of Style
We love the organic and timeless look wooden coffee tables add to interiors. This circular table was the perfect piece to style between two sofas in The Estates Project to encourage conversation. Simple in design, we opted to style the tabletop with a book, vases, and a few of our other go-to accessories.
Add a Contemporary Touch with a Glass Coffee Table
We’re all about transformational design from floor to ceiling and from finishes to furnishings. Add a contemporary touch to your home with a glass coffee table. In our Paradise Valley interior design project, Fanfol, this table’s glass top floats above three wooden spheres. We selected this piece with cohesion in mind and love that it mirrors the circular structure of nearby side tables.
Metal Coffee Tables – Great for Minimal or Detail Designs!
At first glance, this may look like a beautifully bare table, perfect for achieving a minimal look. But what if we told you that upon a closer look this modern table is actually filled with details sure to capture any design lover’s heart?
Made of cast and hand-forged iron with a black finish, this table’s edge is comprised of brass-finished detailing, which ties in beautifully with the black and brass chandelier hung just above this piece. We can’t get over the subtle “wow” factor it brought to the living space in our Cave Creek interior design project, Montevista.
Classic Marble Coffee Tables
You can never go wrong with the classic marble and gold combination. Nesting coffee tables like this one in our Phoenix interior design project, Calle Lejos, are easily stackable and moveable, making them the perfect solution for smaller spaces. Plus, who doesn’t love a layered look?
We hope this blog post helped you gain some inspiration on which coffee table you may want to style in your home! For more design trends, tips, and project reveals, subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on Instagram.

Our Camelback Country Estates clients left California to enjoy Scottsdale living year-round. This Scottsdale interior design project was filled with transitional pieces that helped them comfortably evolve their traditional style into a completely livable, more modern vibe that is perfect for their young family. Keep reading for a look inside!
An Open Entry Space
Because this project backs up to Camelback Mountain, we wanted to bring the beautiful views indoors by incorporating large glass doors, windows, and mirrors throughout the home. In the entryway, the front door originally had an ornate metal design, so we opted to remove that detail for an added modern and open feel.
Further accentuating the openness of the space, we hung a large, geometric chandelier from the interior’s high ceilings for added impact. Just below the chandelier, we styled a rug and dining room table as the centerpiece, as opposed to a typical entry table, to fill in the remainder of this large room.
A Dining Room that’s Stylish for the Parents + Functional for the Kids
We believe you can have beautiful, chic spaces without it being all too precious to live with comfortably. For this family’s project, we designed a dining room that could also function as a kid’s craft space. To balance beauty and functionality, we styled stunning cabinets to home all art supplies, and also added leather chairs to ensure easy cleanup. As a backdrop for this space, we added a textured grasscloth wallpaper.
The Family Room That Serves the Family
This spacious family room gave our design team plenty of room to be creative. To maximize the large space, we decided to split the room into two: a sofa and a seating area. In the sofa area, we added a custom-sofa proportionate to the size of the space. To best separate these two sections of the family room, we hung two chandeliers from the wooden ceiling.
For family movie night entertainment, we hung a Samsung Frame TV that doubles as a piece of art when not in use. Because this TV was long, we wanted to maximize space underneath, while still being cost effective, so we opted to style two sideboards side by side as opposed to adding a custom piece.
While most of our clients don’t identify as risk-takers when it comes to design, they don’t want the same-old-same-old look either. They value unique, contemporary style with lots of personality and character; but they also want their homes to feel light, airy, inviting, and comfortable. We aimed to do just that in this family room by re-tiling the fireplace with a beautiful cement tile and quartz slab. We love how these details helped our clients step out of their comfort zones in an approachable way!
We Didn’t Forget to Show the Hallway Some Design Attention
To maximize space in the long hallway off the living room, we opted to put two consoles side by side to give the look of a larger, custom piece. On top of the console tables, we flanked the statement artwork with a cement lamp, vases, and other table accessories.
Boucle Bed + Grasscloth Wallpaper = Guest Bedroom Full of Texture!
This home’s guest bedroom is texture galore! For comfort and warmth, we started by adding a beautiful, sage green grasscloth wallpaper. Contrasting this pop of color, we styled a boucle-textured bed with stunning leather detail straps. Flanking this piece, we added two cane nightstands with brass footing and large lamps to fit the scale of the bed.
A Feminine Office Space
Our team opted to convert a small room right outside the primary bedroom into an office space for our client. We wanted to make this room feel feminine, so we added a beautiful embossed textured wallpaper and a blush-colored rug to match. For an added pop of color, we incorporated gold bookshelves with plenty of room for storing office supplies!

Great design consists of layered illumination. As you begin your next seasonal home refresh, aim to incorporate a mix of lighting sources. Lamps not only serve as statement pieces, but they also provide dimension and can set the mood of a room entirely! Read on for a look at a few lamps we’ve styled in recent interior design projects.
Desk Lamps Can Be Stylish and Functional
The first lamp we always recommend sourcing is a desk lamp. In the corner of our Fairway project’s primary bedroom, we added a small desk area for our client to get work done from home. We styled a beautifully arched desk lamp to not only tie in the other brass elements found throughout the room but also provide a light source to ensure productivity.
Brighten Your Bedside with a Stylish Nightstand Lamp
Sometimes lamps can be artwork themselves! In our Scottsdale interior design project, The Estates, we styled a modern, ceramic lamp on top of the two nightstands flanking the upholstered bed. Balancing both beautiful and practical, nightstand lamps are a great source of light on dimmer days. In bedroom areas, aim to find a lamp with shades that can help contain the light to avoid disturbing any nearby nappers.
Make a Statement with a Floor Lamp
Floor lamps can serve as beautiful statement pieces in any interior. We love that this brass floor lamp from our Marshall Ave interior design project is adjustable and can be molded to fit into nearly any space. This versatility will allow the piece to live in our client’s home for years to come. One of the top tips we share with clients is to not be afraid of investing in quality pieces like this that they love!
Beautiful Entryway Lamp
Have you ever laid eyes on a more beautifully intricate lamp? We can’t get over how the color of this lamp from our Cave Creek interior design project, Calle De Pompas, complements the adjacent artwork and accent wall. It’s the perfect touch to make guests feel right at home as soon as they enter.
Don’t Forget about Hallway Lamps
Last but not least, lamps always sit pretty on cabinets or console tables. Inside this cutout in our 83rd Place project, we opted to maximize space by styling a ceramic table lamp, artwork, and various accessories. We kept all of these details neutral to avoid overwhelming the space, and we love the subtle yet striking effect it had on the overall setup!
