When we moved out of our Beacon Hill apartment last year into our new place, the one thing we were most excited for was having a space that would fit a dining table. While this might sound silly, if you live in a city you know how hard it can be to find an apartment that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg that can also fit a dining/kitchen table (see our dining space inspo here)! Since there is no hardwired flush mount or chandelier in the space, the previous tenants had installed a hook and hung a plug-in pendant light over their round table. Our biggest struggle? Finding a plug-in pendant light that fit our style!
Whether you’re in the same boat as us and are renting but can’t hardwire lighting in, or if you’re just looking for a more temporary lighting solution in your home, plug-in pendant lights are a great option! Plus, over the years many brands have started carrying more plug-in lighting options which makes the process so much easier. To make your search easier, here are some gorgeous plug-in pendant lights that could work in any space!
The Best Plug-In Pendant Lights
Short Drum Pendant Light
This pleated pendant light is such a great option for a dining room, entryway, or living room. It comes in two different color options (love the white) and can also be hardwired in.

Schoolhouse Pendant
This small but mighty pendant is a great option for smaller spaces, over a reading nook, or paired with two more over a kitchen island. The glass allows for more light and doesn’t block natural light or make a tight space feel clustered.

Linen Drum Pendant
This linen pendant is a great option in a more traditional-style space. Because of the shape and size, it would look really good over a round table in a dining room or breakfast nook.

I love the simplicity of this pendant! The milk glass and brass detailing are so pretty. Love this one for above a peninsula or island, or in a reading corner.

Bamboo Pendant
Our old pendant light (pictured above) was bamboo and we loved it, it just didn’t fit the space anymore but the style is still a fav! If you’re looking for a pendant that gives off good light and is also a decorative piece, this one is such a great option!
