Remodeling Lighting Kitchens

Lighting advice!

8 years ago

I need advise on lighting in my kitchen & dining room. I am remodeling my kitchen and getting this island pendant. My home is smaller and will soon be an open floor plan with the dining room table nearby. My appliances as well as hardware are stainless steel. Any suggestions for chandelier and entry light, I have 8ft ceilings. Thanks!!

Great choice on the island pendant!

Here are some potential chandelier ideas. I stuck with nickel finishes, but other finish options certainly are available.

Since you have low ceilings, I'm going to recommend something more compact for the entry light.

We have lots of other chandelier and ceiling lights available, too!

I just realized I wrote advise lol whoops. Anyways, Lights online I love the flush mount for the entry! I hadn’t seen that one. I’m looking for something different for the chandelier but not sure what.
Rachel I love the chandeliers! But I think they are a little bold for me lol I can be safe at times. Thank you so much for your recommendations!

Hi emmadore. Not sure if you have found what you are looking for but thought I would throw a couple of ideas your way for the chandelier working off your island lighting fixture.

This Gwen pendant is oil rubbed bronze and simple, https://www.stridelighting.com/product-p/ch20028rb20-dp3.htm

This Lorry fixture is more industrial but can complement your island fixture nicely. https://www.stridelighting.com/product-p/ch59065rb20-up5.htm

Also this Ironclad design is very similar as well, https://www.stridelighting.com/product-p/ch59058rb21-up4.htm.

All the best!
