Darlana Pendant Look for Less

I am sharing a collection of Darlana Pendant light copycat options that all cost much less than the original! So many great designer inspired options for all budgets!

This post was originally published on 2/2/17 but I have updated it today to include additional information, as well as new and improved options that are still in stock! I am super excited to share today’s post with you. After months and months of searching, I’ve finally found really good Darlana Pendant Light copycat and look for less options! Typically when I write a lighting look for less post, I share five different finds. But, this seemed worthy of a standalone post!

Sources for these Darlana pendant light alternatives, and many more, can be found further down in the post.

Before we jump into the look for less options, I wanted to share examples of both the original Darlana pendants and the alternatives around our home!

As you may know, I have the Visual Comfort Darlana Linear Pendant (in Polished Nickel) in our dining room, and I am completely obsessed with it. But to be honest, it was crazy expensive and a total splurge as far as home decor items are concerned. However, it’s a total show-stopping statement piece in the dining room, and I haven’t regretted buying it yet!

Here’s another angle from a more updated version of the space.

It’s sold at multiple retailers, sometime under different names. They even sell it at Restoration Hardware under the name 19th C. English Openwork Linear Pendant. I guess it sounded fancier that way 😉 Regardless of where it was sold though, the cheapest I could ever find it was around the $1,000 mark (and that typically didn’t include the freight shipping that was required). Definitely not a bargain purchase!

In our entryway, we added the small Darlana pendant light about two years ago and I couldn’t be happier with it! This is the Polished Nickel Finish. I will be the first to admit. The quality of the Visual Comfort Darlana lights is far superior to the alternatives. You can just tell they are incredibly well made and much more substantial than the alternatives. It was funny because when Kurtis hung this light in our entryway he said “FINALLY. Why can’t you buy lights like this all the time.” Haha! And then I told him the price. He now fully understands why, although often a nightmare to install, there is sometimes a reason I go the cheaper route 😉

However, in our lesser seen mudroom, I used one of the copycat options I feature later in this post in the Antique Silver Leaf finish! This would about the equivalent size of the medium Darlana.

Darlana Linear Pendant Look for Less

It seems like many of you love the Darlana look as much as I do, but agree the price on the original is insane. I get that! So, I’m really excited to share my latest find with you. Today I’ve finally found a look for less that legit looks like the real Darlana Pendant light! I present to you, the Carmen 6-Light Geometric Pendant. I also found an even more affordable option here that seems to get good reviews (it’s just missing the signature triangle hooks)! Be sure to also check here for additional stock (and this option if you need a gold finish). Be sure to also read my post on my review of the knock-off Darlana Pendant finishes.

Wow, right?! It comes in four gorgeous finishes, and the reviews are really great! Many of the other similar looks I’ve found in the past were missing a critical feature. And in most situations, that feature was the triangle hook shape at the top of each version of the lanterns. But this one delivers! The biggest difference with this option is the vertical bars that drop down for support.

If you’re willing to spend more (but still quite a bit less than the cost of the original), I’d consider this option. It comes in four finishes, including a warm brass option. Since there isn’t a gold version in the Carmen 6-Light Geometric Pendant, this is also an excellent option if that’s the finish you’re looking for. The biggest option in this fixture is that it’s only 5-light versus 6-light.

They also make the traditional lantern look (again, in four finishes). It is also available here, sometimes with additional finish options. Be sure to also read my post on my review of the knock-off Darlana Pendant finishes. If you’re wanting a true gold lantern, I would go with this option or this option, depending on the size you’re looking for.

The smaller version look alike is even a better steal! Be sure to also read my post on my review of the knock-off Darlana Pendant finishes.

If you need a gold option, this 4-light chandelier is an excellent option and the reviews are great!
