I took the photo above years ago on a house tour in Hancock Park here in Los Angeles. I was overwhelmed by the size of the pendant light that hung above the dining room table. A gigantic white shade looming over a round table. I had never seen anything like this before.

Suddenly, this year I have been coming across photos of GIANT pendant lights acting as chandeliers in dining rooms. The point I am sure is to make a very big decorating statement.  The scale of these immense lights is purposefully sized to dwarf the table and chairs below.  These super big pendants are round, dome or conical.  They are metal, capiz shell, paper, plastic and even fabric. Trying to figure out whether these super sized lights are a trend or if they are simply catching my eye....hmmmm....I wonder...

What do you think of these super sized dining room pendant lights? Like or dislike?  I think I like the last photo the best...the white dining room with the large Ikea PS Maskros pendant lamp.  Do you like any of these?  Is this a trend you might follow?  Do comment below.  I want to hear what you think!

Happy Monday!
