"Would you like to renovate your stairwell or make it even more attractive with a beautiful pendant light? Then you've come to the right place. We'll give you practical tips on how to redesign your staircase with a pendant light. In addition, the right lighting creates a fabulous atmospheric effect. But how do you choose the right pendant light for your staircase? We'll give you some important tips!"

Tip 1: Choose the design you want for your staircase pendant light.



Style:


Decide which lamps best suit your staircase. Whether modern , classic , comfortable or simply cozy . At skapetze® you have the option of individually combining staircase lighting.


Here you can be inspired with suitable products for your staircase pendant lights.


Material selection:



Pendant lights are available in many different materials. These can either match the material used in your staircase or differ specifically from it.


  • Wood Wood is ideal with warm tones. Combine them in old houses with exposed roof trusses, farm buildings or wooden houses Wooden pendant lights or alternatively metal pendant luminaires in gold or copper tones to create an ideal symbiosis of furnishings and staircase lighting.


  • Glass : Glass pendant lights stand for a straightforward, elegant and timeless design language that can be ideally combined with many materials. Do you have a glass railing in your staircase the multiple glass pendant light can be the ideal complement.

  • Metal : Staircase pendant lights made of metal look less light than glass, but more imposing and classic and can also be perfectly matched to metal banisters or metal handrails in the stairwell. 

Color selection.



  • Black and white are timeless and can be combined with both classic and very modern furnishing elements in the staircase.


  • Other colors such as red, blue, yellow, etc. usually require a certain factor in the staircase to which they are oriented. For example, a blue carpet, a red-tinged painting or similar details that allow a connection to the color of the staircase pendant light.
  • Colorful and abstract staircase luminaires can be used specifically as a lively refresher to create a creative color scheme in your staircase.



Shape of the pendant lights.



  • Round staircase pendant lights: These are the most commonly used pendant lights in stairwells, as there are simply far more round pendant lights than angular pendant lights. Do you have a spiral staircase or a spiral staircase the staircase luminaire can specifically take up the shape of the staircase. But also in quarter-spiral, half-spiral or landing staircases this type of luminaire can also be easily integrated.

  • Angular staircase lamps: If you have more angular than round furnishing elements in the building anyway, or if you want to emphasize an angular furnishing style, an angular pendant luminaire such as the s.luce Hexa may be the right solution.

  • Organic stairwell luminaires: Very modern Stairwell luminaires that are intended to create a virtuoso lighting design in the stairwell can also be made from light tubes or organic designs in which no clear form is discernible. A good example of this is the Enterprise series from manufacturer Next.

Size of the lights.



The size of the respective modern staircase pendant light naturally depends on the size of the staircase . If the luminaire is to be placed in an eye of the staircase, it should of course not be a nuisance for you and your guests as they ascend.


So make sure you choose a pendant luminaire combination that fits exactly into the stairwell.


However, the size of the individual luminaire is not always important. You can either place individual large luminaires such as glass globes with a diameter of 50 cm or large s.luce rings with a diameter of 120 or 150 cm, or even the s.luce Made series with rings up to 230 cm in diameter, or you can combine many small lights to create a large composition.


Let your imagination run wild and take to skapetze®. We will combine your pendant light combination as you wish and realize your perfect lighting concept in the airspace.

Light color.



We recommend the interior  always Warm white lighting of 3,000 Kelvin . If you value extra-warm lighting, you can choose this specifically with skapetze® so that individual warm white LED strips can be used.


For stairwell pendant lamps with replaceable light sources you as the customer can choose the light bulb yourself anyway. We are happy to make recommendations in this regard.

Tip 2: Positioning in the airspace.



Think about where the highest and lowest points of the luminaire will be positioned and what diameter should be planned.


With skapetze® you can individually select the lengths and the size and diameter of the pendant light yourself.


Depending on the luminaire selection, you can use the s.luce Modular XL canopy up to 16 pendant luminaires on one canopy can be selected. With very small luminaire diameters, up to 50 luminaires are even possible on one canopy.


Cluster display (on one diffuser):


A coiled gallery pendant luminaire (cluster luminaire) is formed spindle-shaped from top to bottom down the storeys. It often starts at the top with large luminaires and ends with small luminaires. With the s.luce luminaires, however, you have this in your own hands. We plan this exactly how you want it and supply the right number of luminaires or send you the desired cluster lamp ready for connection .


Dynamic constellation (at an outlet):


If the luminaires creative, playful, lively and dynamic  and dynamic, they can also be dynamically on a canopy be staged on a canopy. We have many beautiful real customer references for this, which can be combined with our s.luce pendant luminaires.


Would you like to see the pendant lights rather quieter design ? Then a flat constellation is the right solution for you.

Tip 3: Technology used.



Think about the type of pendant light you want. Something practical and enlightening, one calming and discreet ambience or something extravagant for your staircase?


Through the individual hanging and alignment options  of the staircase pendant lamp means that most s.luce gallery luminaires can be adapted to any room.


The Ring series can be dimmed per phase or phase section and is available in various colors, e.g. in black, gold, aluminum, chrome and white. The black pendant luminaire is very popular with our customers and is often placed in stairwells.


Finally, specify the control. Do you already have a switch or would you like to operate the new gallery light via smartphone or remote control? Then we recommend the iLight smart home lighting system from skapetze®!
