Best Pendant Lights for Kitchen Island

There are so many hanging lamp patterns available in the market to choose from. We are spoiled for choices and didn’t know how to pick the best pendant lights for the kitchen island when we stepped into the fixtures shop.

We want to have a lamp hung from the center of the ceiling which will provide ample lighting for the area where food is being prepared.

We had spent a pretty large amount of time searching for a freestanding piece of cabinetry to be placed in the cooking area to supplement the countertop space. We took a countertop surface, color, and storage compartment into consideration.

Thus, we hope to grab a lamp that matches the style of the kitchen island perfectly as well as fits the overall design of our cooking area.

The following shortlisted hanging lamps are suitable for modern decoration. They come with a simple design to create an elegant space as well as adding a touch of relaxing ambiance.

Black Kitchen Pendant Linear Chandelier

We have a white color countertop and so we are thinking that the black kitchen pendant lights would make the area looks stunning. After all, these two-color combination is the most timeless and always on-trend.

This simple linear chandelier that has three bowls shaped shades is just nice to illuminate the entire piece of countertop. Its vintage-style design is adding a classic touch to the modern kitchen.

Silver Globe Downlight Chandelier

Silver is a color that matches very well with other neutral colors including white. And so we are taking this contemporary silver pendant light fixtures into consideration because we love its design. The round design has a nice modern design. It looks stunningly beautiful and it stills looks simple which is hard to perfect.

It definitely is an ideal pick for a cooking area that requires ambient lighting with its open-air design. Furthermore, its unique globe design boosts the trendy style that makes it a stunning piece in the cooking area.

Handblown Glass Drop Hanging Light

We also take blue color into consideration as this color is giving a sense of calm and it is reminiscent of the sky when matched with white. It is a combination of the first two. It has three bowls and has a sphere design so it's a good pick if you like the first two designs with an added touch of blue.

We shortlisted this blue glass pendant light as it creates a contemporary atmosphere with its exquisite hand-blown shape and translucent hues.

Better still, it comes with three units in a package. The multiple bulbs with even blow definitely would spread across the cooking area.

Clear Glass Pendant Lights for Kitchen Island

As inspired by the blue glass drop hanging fixtures above, we thought the lampshade that has clear glass shade is suitable to be installed above a countertop of our kitchen island.

This retro-style pendant light with clear glass shade is suspended by black round cord wire. Its simple design is adding a touch of tidy sense in the cooking area.

Cylindrical Glass Pendant Fixture with Crystal Beads

In case you find that a clear glass lampshade is a bit dull, then you’ll like this fashionable glass cylinder pendant light with crystal beads hanging inside. It still has the same super modern design just like the round design one but it looks a lot more exquisite.

It definitely is the focal point in your cooking area to catch the attention of people especially the moment it disperses light to illuminate the room.

All of them have both stylish and functional that is perfect for hanging above the kitchen island to bring elegant touch and boost your decor style.
