Why choose a fabric light fixture?
A soft and warm light
The white or beige fabric diffuses light evenly , creating a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for relaxation. In a bedroom or living room/kitchen, a pendant light provides a soft, diffused glow, avoiding harsh, direct lighting.
The LED bulb placed inside the conical or cylindrical lampshade creates a pleasant interior lighting, suitable for any living space. The fabric pendant lights diffuse a soft light that highlights furniture, materials, and shapes without being harsh on the eyes. This quality of lighting is ideal for interior decorating in a living room.
A versatile decorative style
The fabric pendant light adapts to various decorating styles , from elegant designs to retro lampshades. It can be paired with materials like glass for a contemporary look or with rattan and caning for a softer, more natural feel. In a modern home, a glass or white fabric pendant light becomes a focal point of the lighting.
The Lustria collection offers height-adjustable models, allowing you to install the pendant light at the correct height depending on your ceiling. This makes the light fixture suitable for kitchens, living rooms, offices, restaurants, or dining rooms.
An economical and sustainable choice
Textile materials like cotton or linen make fabric light fixtures easy to care for , as cleaning the fabric is simple. Some metal and wood or metal and brass pendant lights are responsibly made and designed to last. Installing a fabric pendant light is easy thanks to the adjustable cable and standard socket.
Choosing fabric lighting also allows you to benefit from a wide selection of colors , shapes, and patterns readily available in stock. At Lustria, each product is designed as a soft and elegant creation, ready to accompany everyday moments.
How to choose your fabric pendant light or chandelier?
Choose the shape according to the room
The cylindrical or conical shape of the light fixture should be appropriate for the space it illuminates. A small designer pendant light is better suited to an office or entryway, while a large hanging pendant is ideal for a living/dining room. The diameter of the ceiling light or pendant should be proportionate to the size of the main piece of furniture it accompanies.
In a kitchen, a pendant light can be hung lower to directly illuminate the worktop. Each room requires a different height depending on its function.
Carefully select the color and material
The choice of white, beige, or black fabric depends on the desired atmosphere. Linen lends a natural, contemporary look, cotton a neutral softness, and caning fabric a bohemian touch. The metal, brass or iron, present in the frame reinforces the character of the piece.
Color directly affects the warmth of the light and the overall aesthetic of the fixture. In a home or office space, a cream fabric pendant light can create a chic style, while a black model makes a strong visual statement.
The right diameter and the right height
The diameter of the pendant light determines its visual impact in the room. Too small, it disappears. Too large, it overwhelms the space. A table-mounted or hanging pendant light should be adjusted with an adjustable cable to achieve the ideal height.
In a kitchen or dining room, the ideal height is between eye and chest to avoid obstructing the view while still providing adequate lighting. Each Lustria light fixture comes with installation advice to assist the customer with their decorating project.
Playing with textiles as a living decorative element
The fabric that moves with the light
The textile material diffuses light in a changing way throughout the day. The fabric pendant light creates a soft ambiance that evolves with the warmth of the bulb and natural light.
The breathable fabric gives the impression that the light is alive and creates a harmonious atmosphere in the room. In a contemporary home, this type of lighting adds an invisible yet perceptible depth.
Lighting as a living object, in rhythm with the house
When air circulates, the fabric pendant light can move slightly, giving the fixture a soft and expressive presence. This movement creates a subtle sensory experience that humanizes the space. A fabric pendant lamp thus offers a warm atmosphere that accompanies everyday moments.
The art of expressing an atmosphere through textiles
Each color, pattern, and textile tells a story. A conical white fabric evokes chic simplicity, a beige lampshade recalls Mediterranean softness, and a black model adds a bold, contemporary touch. Lustria offers a collection designed to allow everyone to choose lighting that suits their style.

Frequently asked questions about fabric lighting
How do I choose the right size fabric hanging decoration for my room?
To choose the right size fabric pendant light, it's important to consider the room's dimensions and the scale of the existing furniture. Generally, the diameter of the light fixture should be proportional to the floor or table area it hangs above.
In a dining room, a larger pendant light is often chosen to illuminate the entire table, while in a bedroom or office, a smaller one will suffice. It is recommended to install the pendant light at a height that leaves comfortable clearance above the furniture. At Lustria, each model indicates the ideal dimensions to help you choose more easily.
Where should I install a fabric pendant light to get a warm light?
A fabric pendant light creates a soft, diffused light , ideal for rooms where a warm atmosphere is desired. It can be easily installed in the living room, above the dining table, in a bedroom, or in an entryway where a calming welcome is desired.
The fabric has the unique ability to gently filter light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. In a kitchen or dining room, it adds an elegant decorative touch while remaining practical. The key is to position the pendant light in the center of the area you wish to highlight.
What is the difference between a cotton lampshade and a linen lampshade?
Cotton offers a smooth texture that diffuses light softly and evenly, ideal for creating a calming atmosphere in the living room or bedroom. Linen, on the other hand, has a more visible weave that gives a more natural, authentic, and slightly textured look.
Linen often lends a more contemporary or bohemian touch , while cotton can suit all decorating styles. The choice therefore depends on the desired style, the room's color scheme, and the desired lighting atmosphere.
How do I adjust the height of a fabric pendant light on the ceiling?
To adjust the height of a fabric pendant light, simply adjust the cable provided with the installation. It is generally recommended to hang the lamp between 80 and 100 cm above a table , or high enough in a passageway to avoid any contact.
If the ceiling is very high, opting for a pendant light with a long or adjustable cable will ensure comfortable lighting. The models available at Lustria are designed for easy adjustment, even for simple home installations.
Which light bulb should I use to create a soft ambiance with a fabric light fixture?
To create a soft ambiance, choose an LED bulb with a warm color temperature, between 2200K and 3000K. This type of bulb produces a warm and pleasant light, particularly well-suited to fabric, which naturally diffuses light. It's best to select a low wattage bulb to avoid overly direct lighting.
A dimmable bulb also allows you to adjust the ambiance depending on the time of day. This is an essential feature for fully enjoying the visual comfort offered by a fabric pendant light.
How to effectively clean a fabric lampshade without damaging it?
Cleaning a fabric lampshade is a gentle process. You can use a dry cloth, a soft brush , or a vacuum cleaner set to low power to remove dust. For light stains, a damp cloth with mild soap is usually sufficient.
It is important to avoid excess water and abrasive products that could damage the textile fibers. Regular maintenance helps preserve the quality of the diffused light and the aesthetic appeal of the light fixture over time.
Is a fabric pendant light suitable for a kitchen or dining room?
Yes, a fabric pendant light is perfectly suited to a kitchen or dining room, provided you choose a model appropriate for the environment. Opt for easy-care fabrics and a hanging height that avoids any direct contact. In a dining room, a pendant light creates a warm atmosphere and highlights the table.
In a kitchen, it can become a central decorative element when placed above an island or worktop. The models offered by Lustria are designed to adapt to a variety of living spaces.
What materials pair best with a fabric light fixture for a modern style?
For a modern style, fabric pairs perfectly with materials like black metal, brass, or glass. These combinations create an elegant and contemporary contrast without overwhelming the decor.
Light wood can also enhance a soft, natural ambiance. Clean lines and neutral colors accentuate the balance between light and materials. This type of combination is particularly popular in minimalist or Scandinavian interiors.
Does a fabric chandelier provide enough light for a living room?
A fabric chandelier provides ample light for a living room, especially when paired with a quality LED bulb. The light produced is soft yet wide enough to illuminate the room harmoniously.
If you want to enhance the lighting, you can add wall sconces or accent lamps to structure the lighting atmosphere . A fabric light fixture not only provides illumination, but also contributes to the visual warmth of the space.
How to match the fabric color with the existing interior decor?
To match the fabric color with the interior decor, it's advisable to choose a shade already present in the room. Neutral colors like beige, off-white, natural linen, or black work in most settings.
In a contemporary setting , you can play with subtle contrasts, such as a light fabric paired with dark wood furniture. For a softer ambiance, opt for lightweight textiles that blend into the room's color palette. The key is that the pendant light integrates visually without dominating the space.
