Choose a pendant that glows all over. A light that seems to glow (as opposed to one that produces a spotlight) is excellent for high-traffic areas. Here, a Moroccan-inspired fixture provides a Manhattan entrance a jewel-box appeal.

Leave at least 7′ of area from the fixture to the floor. Hanging a long pendant better to the ceiling provides it pride of location without being obtrusive.
