As the focal point of your kitchen, dining room and living room, selecting the perfect Quoizel chandeliers and pendants to fit your taste and style defines your entertainment spaces. Make yours shine (both literally and figuratively) by selecting carefully… here are a few tips.
What’s the difference between a pendant and a chandelier? Quoizel chandeliers and Quoizel pendants (including the larger pendants and their smaller “mini pendant” brothers) both hang from the ceiling, but differ in a few ways:
Design: Quoizel chandeliers are frequently statement pieces (and rightly so, the craftsmanship and creativity are phenomenal) designed to captivate your guests on first sight. Chandeliers have multiple lamps (read: bulbs) while pendants typically have a single lamp/bulb (although larger pendants sometimes use small lamp clusters). Almost all chandeliers are hung from a single or multiple chains to handle the additional weight of a larger centerpiece, while pendants can be hung from smaller chains, decorative cord, or straight rods.
Size: Creating a more substantial presence, Quoizel chandeliers use their additional size to visually dominate to create an elegant and luxurious atmosphere. Quoizel pendant lights are smaller and more versatile, frequently being installed together in small vignettes (say, over a kitchen island) or as accent lighting in bedrooms and living rooms.
Purpose: Frequently used in formal or semi-formal settings, Quoizel chandeliers provide both ambient and statement lighting. Quoizel pendant lights are more versatile and are frequently used in multiples in kitchens or dining areas as general (ambient) lighting, while providing specific task lighting (such as over a kitchen island, workspace, or as accent lighting in living rooms) where needed.
Installation: With their additional size, Quoizel chandeliers frequently require additional electrical work and a strengthened mounting system. Quoizel pendants, on the other hand, are small, light, and can easily be hung from an existing electrical box.
Quoizel chandeliers and pendants have gained the reputation of being the best for good reason; their quality of craftsmanship, attention to detail and overall value are second to none.
