Brighten Your Kitchen Island with Pendants
Providing a stylish, balanced focal point requires using either two or three pendant lights above your kitchen island. If your island is less than 7 feet long, it’s typically best to choose two pendant lights. However, if it’s over 7 feet long, it’s better to select three matching pendants.
A prime example can be found with our distressed metal pendant light. Sold as separate pieces, you can pick up the appropriate number to brighten up your kitchen island. Each one adds its own unique rustic charm and will vary a bit from the others. Alternatively, you can select our cut glass single light hanging pendant in modern brushed gold to provide an entirely different look.
Want to bring in some refined elegance to your space? Pick the dainty and delicate design of our scalloped metal petite pendant light. Each uses a 100 watt bulb, so you should have plenty of light to make and arrange meals. Whether you pick two or three lights, their cottage-chic style will add lots of ambiance to your kitchen.

Pendants Work Great as Dining Room Lighting
Dining rooms are traditionally a good place to show off a chandelier. However, choosing pendant lighting offers a more casual feel that will set guests at ease. No matter what mood you’re looking for, pendant lights can help you achieve it.
- Rattan style: Diffuse the light naturally with rattan-styled lighting such as our rattan basket candlestick pendant light, farmhouse basket square pendant light, or willow basket pendant shade. Each also adds a cozy aesthetic, along with decorative shadow patterns to your walls.
- Galvanized steel: The spangled, metallic finish offers the ideal farmhouse or industrial look to your dining room. For instance, our galvanized round pendant light adds country class, while also creating a romantic glow. Or, if you’d prefer your pendant light to not be as long as usual, check out our galvanized metal farmhouse light fixture.
- Chandelier-styled: Why not choose the best of both worlds for your dining room table? Our chandelier-styled pendant lights serve both purposes, but they’ve got the more casual feeling of pendant lights. Our rustic quatrefoil pendant chandelier is elegant, but it also has an old-style bronze look to it. Do you prefer to add a distinctive appearance? Our ornate copper farmhouse pendant chandelier offers a gorgeous focal point for your space.
- Glass: Spread light evenly by opting for our glass pendant lights. A prime example is our light acorn glass ceiling light that offers vintage-inspired appeal and effortless beauty. Are you looking for a different shape? Try our hand blown geometric glass pendant light. Or, if you’re feeling nostalgic, we’ve got a schoolhouse-inspired option with our glass globe pole pendant light.
- Metal: To receive the best possible task lighting while also getting glare reduction, opt for a metal pendant light.You can choose metal and glass with our unique metal lantern style light. Or you can add a modern look to your farmhouse with our single bulb modern metal cone pendant light. Metal can also come in a wide range of colors such as our distressed found green metal pendant light.
