Scalloped & Pleated Lighting

Timeless textures meet modern design. This curated edit highlights scalloped pendants, pleated chandeliers, tailored sconces, vanity lights, and lampshades that bring soft folds and decorative edges into every room. Unlike our broader categories, this page focuses on one design theme: the enduring elegance of scallops and pleats. These versatile styles adapt to both modern and vintage interiors.

Why Scalloped & Pleated Fixtures Stand Out

Pleated shades introduce tailored structure, while scalloped edges add movement with their curved silhouettes. Together, these styles strike a balance between tradition and trend. They’re ideal for homeowners seeking lighting with texture, depth, and personality. Crisp linen pleated shades, classic silk fabrics, and scalloped trims in brass, bronze, or matte black finishes make them timeless choices.

Scalloped & Pleated Lighting by Fixture Type

• Pleated Chandeliers — Layered folds that create an elegant centerpiece for dining rooms or entryways. A standout option is the Alexa Hampton Stassi Chandelier by Visual Comfort Studio Collection.
• Scalloped Pendant Lights — Graceful silhouettes that soften kitchens, islands, and breakfast nooks. The Allison Large Pendant by Regina Andrew is a perfect example of this look.
• Pleated & Scalloped Sconces — Wall-mounted accents that add texture in hallways, bedrooms, and reading corners. The Kismet Wall Sconce by Maxim Lighting is a timeless choice.
• Vanity Lighting with Pleated Shades — A tailored yet functional upgrade for bathrooms. The Paige Bath Vanity Light by Mitzi pairs everyday utility with elevated design.
• Table & Floor Lamps with Lampshades — Versatile designs with pleated fabric or scalloped trims for warmth and character. The Giorgio Accent Lamp by Regina Andrew works beautifully in home offices or living rooms.
• Flush Mounts — Compact ceiling fixtures that bring detail into smaller rooms without overwhelming. The Dorinda Semi Flush Mount by Golden Lighting delivers style in a streamlined form.

Styling Ideas for Scalloped & Pleated Lighting Fixtures

• In transitional dining rooms, a pleated chandelier layers formal refinement over streamlined furniture.
• A scalloped pendant light above a kitchen island balances sharp cabinetry with soft curves.
• Pleated fabric lampshades on table lamps add vintage charm in living rooms or bedrooms.
• Scalloped floor lamps introduce movement into minimalist spaces, blending decorative art with function.

By weaving these details into your décor, you create lighting that works as both illumination and design statement.
