Opt for a drum shade on a farmhouse pendant for classic styling that fits practically any setting, be it cottage, contemporary, or a look that's completely unique. There's a practical aspect that makes drum shades a good choice for a central fixture. The symmetrical top and bottom emit equal amounts of light, providing both task lighting for the surface below and overall illumination as it radiates off the ceiling.

How you suspend a farmhouse lighting pendant influences the overall look. A simple cord makes it more modern or industrial, for example, while a chain draws attention away from the wiring and creates a traditional vibe. In this kitchen, thick rope conceals the wiring, creating a fixture that could suit anything from a cozy beach bungalow to a sophisticated Manhattan loft.
