The Yardley Reef pendant light adds a modern spin to the traditional paper lantern design. With a monochrome look, the pendant features a round white canopy base supporting an off-white paper shade measuring 11in. tall and 20in. in diameter. The shade softly distills the light from a 60W bulb for an even, warm glow. Hang the pendant by itself or pair it with several more to create a stunning effect and add illumination to your kitchen, dining area, bedroom, or bathroom. With a 5ft. white cord, the height of the light can be adjusted to suit the needs of any room regardless of the ceiling height. Professional installation by an electrician is recommended.

Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Is a paper pendant light suitable for high-humidity areas like a bathroom or a coastal home?
While the Yardley Reef pendant is versatile enough for use in a bathroom, its paper construction is best suited for well-ventilated spaces. In humid coastal climates or bathrooms with showers, ensuring proper airflow via an exhaust fan will help preserve the shape and finish of the paper shade over time. The metal components feature a durable white finish that provides a clean, contemporary look while offering more resilience than unfinished materials.
Is this pendant light a hardwired fixture or a plug-in "swag" style?
This light is a permanent, hardwired fixture featuring a sleek white canopy base for a seamless, professional look. Because it integrates directly into your home’s electrical system, there are no messy cords trailing down the wall. To ensure safety and proper mounting, professional installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.
How do I clean and maintain a paper shade pendant?
Based on our expertise with delicate materials, we recommend regular, gentle dusting with a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a feather duster to prevent buildup. Because the shade is crafted from paper, it is important to avoid using water, liquid cleaners, or harsh chemicals, as moisture can compromise the integrity and color of the material.
How do I determine if this pendant light is the right size for my kitchen island or dining table?
With a 20-inch diameter and 11-inch height, this pendant is designed to make a significant visual impact without overwhelming your space. For a standard 6-foot kitchen island, our design experts typically recommend spacing two of these fixtures about 30 inches apart to ensure balanced illumination. Its round, low-profile silhouette also makes it an excellent choice for centering over a smaller breakfast nook or a round dining table.
Can the hanging height of this light be adjusted for rooms with low or vaulted ceilings?
Yes. This pendant comes equipped with a 5-foot white cord, providing ample length for various architectural needs. During installation, the cord can be adjusted to the specific height of your room, whether you are hanging it low over a dining surface or keeping it closer to the ceiling in a high-traffic hallway or a room with standard 8-foot ceilings.
How does the paper shade affect the light quality in a room?
The off-white paper shade acts as a natural diffuser, softening the light from a 60W bulb to eliminate harsh glares and hot spots. This creates an even, ambient glow that is ideal for creating a relaxing atmosphere in bedrooms or providing comfortable, warm lighting in living areas. Unlike clear glass fixtures that can sometimes feel sterile, the texture of the paper adds a layer of organic warmth to your decor.
