Because the Coral has an open-bottom design, the bulb is fully visible. A warm Edison-style filament bulb (E26/E27, 2200–2400 K) is the most popular choice — the amber glow plays beautifully through the resin petals and adds a vintage warmth to the room. A standard warm-white LED A19 also works well for everyday use. Avoid cool-white or daylight bulbs (5000 K+) which can look harsh against the resin finish.

For kitchen islands and dining rooms, Green and Yellow make the boldest statement and pair well with natural wood tones, rattan, and warm-white walls. White and Grey are the most neutral, blending easily into Scandi-minimal and modern farmhouse kitchens. Black reads as the most dramatic and works particularly well over a dark marble countertop or against white cabinetry.

The standard guideline for a pendant light over a dining table is 28–34 inches from the tabletop to the bottom of the shade. This places the Coral at comfortable eye level when seated — low enough to feel intimate, high enough not to obstruct sight lines. The cord ships at 59″ and can be extended; if you have ceilings above 10 ft, contact us before ordering.

The Coral uses a surface-treated matte resin specifically finished to resist oxidation and color fading under normal indoor conditions. Avoid direct prolonged sunlight (UV exposure from windows over many years can affect any matte resin). For cleaning, wipe with a soft dry or lightly damp cloth — no solvents or abrasive cleaners.

The Coral is rated for indoor dry locations only. It is not IP-rated for damp or wet environments and should not be installed above a shower, bathtub, or in any outdoor location. For a bathroom, install it away from direct steam and moisture — a bedroom-style vanity area is fine.
