7 Stylish Pendants for Kitchen Island Lighting
The island is one of the most popular features in kitchen design today. And what's not to love? Islands serve an almost limitless number of functions: from an extra prep space, to a spot to house appliances, or even as a main seating area for casual meals. Regardless, if you design a kitchen with an island, it will surely be the focal point of the room. In order to make it function that way, good kitchen island lighting is key. Our favorite choice for lighting a kitchen island is with a row of pendants or mini pendants. Pendant-style lighting provides both functional task lighting and an opportunity to add a personal style stamp to a kitchen design. Here are a few of our top picks for pendants to hang above the kitchen island. Regardless of which style is your favorite, you'll need least a set of two in order to provide ample lighting and balance, but up to four or five may be necessary depending on the length of your island.
