We Hung 4 Different Rattan Pendant Lights in the Same Room. Here's What Happened.

We Hung 4 Different Rattan Pendant Lights in the Same Room. Here's What Happened.

We had a simple question: does the shape of a rattan pendant light actually change how a room feels?

So we did what any obsessive interior enthusiast would do. We hung four different handcrafted rattan pendant lights — one at a time — in the exact same room, with the exact same furniture. Same sofa. Same rug. Same natural teak sideboard. Different lamp each time.

Here's what happened.

The Setup

The room: a 25m² open-plan living room with white walls, a natural jute rug, a teak sideboard, and a rattan armchair. Neutral base. The kind of space that could go in 10 different directions depending on one decision: the light above it.

The four lamps we tested, all from Remood Furniture Living:

Lamp 1: The Mykonos — “Instant Greek Island”

The Mykonos went up first. Wide, flat, architectural. The moment it was lit, the room felt like it had been transported to a Cycladic villa. The light it throws is wide and diffused — it fills the whole room rather than pooling in one spot.

Best for: Open-plan spaces, dining areas, rooms that need to feel bigger.
Vibe: Santorini meets modern European minimalism.
Verdict: If you want one lamp that does everything, this is it.

Lamp 2: The Kendi — “The Sculptor”

The Kendi is tall and narrow. Where the Mykonos spread light outward, the Kendi directs it downward in a focused, dramatic pool. The room immediately felt more intimate — like a boutique restaurant rather than a living room.

Best for: Dining tables, reading corners, rooms where you want atmosphere over functionality.
Vibe: Bali boutique hotel. Quiet luxury.
Verdict: Pair it with a round dining table and never look back.

Lamp 3: The Bottle — “The Crowd Pleaser”

Round, organic, warm. The Bottle pendant is the lamp that works in every room without trying too hard. It doesn't make a statement — it is the statement. The rounded form bounced light in all directions, creating a soft, even glow that made the whole room feel instantly cosier.

Best for: Bedrooms, living rooms, anyone who wants warmth without drama.
Vibe: Weekend morning. Linen sheets. Coffee.

Verdict: If you're unsure which pendant to choose, start here.

Lamp 4: The Makiki — “The Room-Changer”

Nothing prepared us for the Makiki. XL size. Full beach-club energy. The moment it went up, the room stopped being a living room and became an experience. Guests would walk in and immediately look up. It commands attention in a way the others don't.

Best for: Large rooms, double-height ceilings, spaces where you want maximum impact.
Vibe: Ibiza beach club meets Afrohemian living room.
Verdict: Not for the faint-hearted. Absolutely worth it.

So Which Rattan Pendant Light Is Actually the Best?

Here's the honest answer: it depends on what you want your room to feel like.

  • Want a room that feels bigger and airier? → Mykonos
  • Want intimacy and drama? → Kendi
  • Want warmth and versatility? → Bottle
  • Want to stop everyone in their tracks? → Makiki
