Pendant lights have always been a mainstay in the kitchen, and for good reason. Combining utility and style, pendant lights justify their spots hanging from the ceiling by providing plenty of task lighting, whether it be for the island, the bar, or the kitchen table.
Seeing as pendant lights are a classic part of kitchen decor, we're diving into some 7 exemplars of the lights. Check them out and become inspired to hang a pendant light in your own kitchen!
Industrial
These industrial pendants are perfectly suited for any clean-cut and contemporary kitchen. The rugged metal of the lamp gives an edge to an otherwise sleek and modern design, making it more of a spectacle than it might be otherwise.
Delicate Globe
For a gentler design like the beach-style kitchen, these wire globe pendant lights might be better suited. They coordinate perfectly with the soft sea blues and warm grays in the kitchen and bring a sense of refinement to the area.
Lamps
A straight-laced traditionalist might rather opt for these lamp shade pendant lights. No one will argue that you're being indecorous - quite to the contrary, these lights bring a greater sense of refinement to your design.
Minimalist
At first, the boxy, minimalists pendant lights might stand out like a sore thumb in this farmhouse-inclined kitchen. Upon further inspection, however, you'll notice the clean shapes and bright wood and paint go perfectly with these pendant lights. Let this remain a lesson to us: combining styles may sometimes benefit our decor rather than detract from it, so don't be afraid to take some risks!
Flowers
Perhaps this one will remain in your dream home, as this custom-made flower pendant light has got to cost a fortune. If you do have the dough, though, consider custom-made lights - they can make your kitchen entirely unique and gorgeous like this one does!
Petite Glass
Another dependable choice for the contemporary traditional kitchen, these glass pendant lights bring a sense of delicacy to the room in a way the lamp shades do not. Perfect for those wishing to express their gentler side.
Modern
Lastly, we can't forget the modern pendant lights. The shape of the chord contrasts pleasingly with the shape of the light, making for a great addition to the modern kitchen.
