A Guide to Pendant Lighting in Kitchen Island Designs



If you’re looking for unique and efficient lighting options for your kitchen remodel, pendant lights may be the perfect solution! They aren’t just functional; they also add a touch of sophistication to your kitchen, especially when they’re installed above the island. At DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Central Texas, we understand that the right lighting can transform your kitchen space from ordinary to awe-inspiring.

What Is Pendant Lighting?

Pendant lighting refers to light fixtures hanging from the ceiling, often in a row. These types of lights go beyond plain functionality, as they bring a touch of aesthetic appeal to any room they are installed in. Often, pendant lights are used to provide concentrated lighting over specific areas. Their positioning can create striking patterns of light and shadow, accenting and showcasing your kitchen impressively. By choosing the right pendant lights to go with your kitchen island, you can combine functionality and style, making your space more inviting, stylish and efficient.

Choosing the Right Pendant Lights

Depending on your kitchen renovation plans, choosing pendant lighting should take the size of the island and the light intensity into account. Larger islands may benefit from multiple pendants for balanced illumination. The design and material should also harmonize with your kitchen’s decor. Metal or glass pendants offer a contemporary look, while natural materials like wood create a rustic feel. As for the lighting intensity and energy-efficient choices, consider energy-efficient LED bulbs and incorporate dimmer switches that help set the mood. Integrating smart lighting also helps for added convenience. 

Installation of Pendant Lights

Tackling this project on your own is never ideal. After all, dealing with electricity, especially in a crucial area like the kitchen, can be a risky task to handle. Letting the professionals do the pendant lighting installation is vital since they have the skills and expertise to ensure it works as intended. For instance, they’ll make sure the height of the pendant light is between 30 and 36 inches above the counter surface. This ensures everyone has plenty of room to move around and do kitchen tasks while getting adequate levels of light that’s pleasing to the eye.
