Kitchen Lighting - Need help!

2 years ago
last modified: 2 years ago

Hello all, we are finishing up a kitchen reno and its not feeling quite right and we need to warm this space up and tie stuff in. We've yet to update lighting. FYI The option to change the hardware to a brushed brass is an option. What kind of color/style of lighting should I do over the island, sink and table? Should I do something substantial to break up with brightness of things over the island? This is an open floor plan to will update lighting and paint in living area as well. We are in paint process so mind the different colors. Oh and if anyone can think of an idea for that pantry door lol How to tie in?

    You have a beautiful kitchen. There are a lot of ways you can go with this, so here's just one of the many. I'd keep the hardware and have that darker finish on the lighting over the dining table. I'd use a brass finish for pendants over the island, so that it's not just one finish for the entire space. I'd prefer a wall mounted light above the sink, but didn't know how you felt about drilling through the tile. I know your still painting so that's probably why the walls are pretty bare,, but wall art, accessories, and a rug under the dining table will really help warm up the space as well.

    Mytwo cents those are super fun but likely too funky for my comfort zone lol. Thank you so much for the suggestions though! :)

    Emily love your suggestions! This is somewhere along the line of what I was thinking, but just couldn’t decide what direction to go with. I saw some teardrop glass and brass pendant lights from Wayfair that were beautiful, but was on sure if they would fit into the space. I do have a light fixture in the ceiling above the sink, was considering perhaps installing something there. A semi flush something being the ceiling is sloped.

    Globe not teardrop. They have a rainfall glass. Not sure if they would work?

    Show a picture of the fixtures you like. Maybe they'll work. It's hard to find a semi-flush light for above the sink with that being a sloped ceiling. Could go with another pendant, but that seems like it would compete with the island pendants. I'll have to look around for a fixture and see if I find one that's compatible with your style.

    These were some ideas for island and table lighting. I so want this space to shine and the right lighting is so important <3

    Those are all really pretty and all would work well. I think the style of the black chandelier would make more of a statement than the one with the drum shade. Just make sure that the chandelier won't overtake your space by being too tall or wide. Those are great options, but just wanted to show you a couple more to consider that would also work well.

    Ooo yes beauty options! Where are the lights you photo shopped into the photo above from? I’d like to look at pricing. Love the ideas you’re putting out. Thank you so much for helping me with this very difficult choice of mine lol

    Glad you like them. The top light is from Joss and Main. The bottom one is from Signature Hardware.
