Let There Be Light!

Choosing the right lighting above your kitchen island involves several considerations. You'll want to think about the quantity, height, and size of the fixtures to ensure proper illumination while also complementing the overall visual design of your kitchen.

Consider any prominent features, such as a large stove hood. Would clear glass pendants offer a less visually cluttered look in that case? If your cabinetry is simple, perhaps fixtures in antiqued brass or other metals could add warmth. Even colored glass pendants can bring an unexpected element to traditional kitchens.

For tasks like baking or food preparation, adjustable weighted pulley lamps could be a practical and stylish option. And if your ceilings allow, don't underestimate the impact of larger pendant lights.
