10 Pendants For A Kitchen Island

Lighting is an important element of a kitchen as it’s the heart of the home. We spend a lot of time in this space preparing food, snacking, and gathering with friends and family. The kitchen also holds many of my memories: like the first time I showed my daughter to bake a cake. Therefore, the perfect lighting for your kitchen island will set the tone for your entire home.

To determine the number of pendants needed above your kitchen island, consider the room size and pendants. The technique of using odd numbers allows for a distribution of symmetrical weight and light.

Here are some of my favorite images that feature pendant lighting above a kitchen island. I did a lot of research to find the most creative examples.

Below are pendant fixtures similar to the ones in the images below.

• LANROS Farmhouse Kitchen Pendant.
• SEEBLEN 2- Light Indoor Island Pendant.
• AKEZON Indoor Glass Hanging Light.

This is an excellent choice for an island light, especially for a little island, because it is modern without being too “bold.” These pendants may work in a variety of kitchen styles and colors, like the example above.
