I found this pendant in an online wholesale catalog and I love the beachy vibe it gives off. It reminds me of a clam basket. Two of these hanging over a white kitchen bar would be fabulous!
Speaking of kitchen lighting, oh how I would LOVE this chandelier for my kitchen! Too bad this chandelier comes with a $300 price tag :(. If you have any home improvement tips on how to create this beauty, feel free to send them my way!

This kitchen light reminds me a bit of my own…only much, much better!

Doesn’t this light have a bee-hive vibe to it. This eating area is dreamy…the wood ceiling, the bench seating, the mirror? window? It’s gorgeous.

What I love about basket/cage lighting is that it can look modern, country, industrial, transitional, etc. depending on how it’s done. This is a DIY birdcage light that is very shabby chic.

I have long admired these pendants from Serena and Lilly. I think they are such fab compliments to the fish quilts! When I redo my boys’ bedroom, I would love to incorporate this look.

This concludes the tour of my basket/cage light inspiration file! I hope you enjoyed it.

gebrichi says
Thanks for including my ‘country’ basket chandy light. In Canada, it’s an apple basket but what’s in a name. Nice post.
Room Lighting says
Totally agree with the versatile nature of this cage/basket chandeliers, they can be placed anywhere in any home style. The $300 kitchen chandelier above can be done easily, don’t you agree? It can even have some artificial vines to complete the look.

Okay first of all, I've missed popping in to see you because I've been in a haze of boxes and bubble wrap… but second of all, HOW DID YOU know I needed a post on hanging light fixures? I'm trying to find the right one for our new house because the current owners are taking a chandelier in the kitchen and I need to replace it with something! Pronto!
Lolo @ The Adventures of Stig and Lolo says
Yes, please share source of the 5 basket chandelier for $300! Love it!!

Good stuff, Beth! Lots of great ideas… makes you start looking around at all the light fixtures in your home!!
Jemsmom says

Pattie says
So very cute my Aunt in Italy has one for years, They live in a farm house, I have always told her that I want it when she is done with it… But I think that's not going to happen.

My favorite is definitely the one made from a board. It wouldn't even be too difficult to knock off, as wiring up bulb sockets is super-simple, and an old board and thick manilla rope are easy to come by. The electrical parts could be purchased easily enough in the lamp section of a home improvement store, and there are plenty of how-to sites on wiring a lamp.
I'll be you could knock that fixture off for less than $100. Easy. Maybe even $50 . . .
michelle says
Those are so wonderful! I too love the $300 one! Sigh….maybe someday! 🙂 Thank you for the inspirations!
A Prairie Girl in California says

Carmen @ Life with Sprinkles on Top says
I've lived in my house for two years now and for two years, I've wanted to do a basket pendant light in my half bath (similar to the style in the photo of the white kitchen). Have I gotten around to it yet? Nope. 😉 I will someday, I guess.
I love that outdoor design! That looks pretty easy to do.
Abi and Simon says
Such wonderful inspiration.
sara@augustfields says
There is certainly charm found with basket/cage lighting. Love your inspiration pics.
The enchanted home says
Nice roundup of pics..you are right, this is a big trend. I realized it especially when we went to the maison and objet show in Paris, they were everywhere..and of course looked smashing in all the prettiest displays. I happen to like them for the right room, really cozy and modern looking.
Reginia says
Love love this! I adore basket lighting and have been on the lookout for some unusual baskets lately. Great post 🙂
Happy Friday!

Sally says
WOW! These are some really cool ideas. I love the chandy w/ the dangling spoons – priceless! =)
Hidden Sisters says
Love this look too. You are so right about just how versatile it is. I love how delicately industrial these fixtures can be. Thanks for sharing!
JHill says
Hmmm… I think I saw all the making for that outdoor chandelier at the Dollar Tree the last time I was there. Might have to make a run out there tomorrow!
Pam says
I love so many of those fixtures, but especially the first one! Thanks for sharing.
