Radiant Revamp: 5 Trending Statement Lights for Every Kind of Kitchen
Kitchen design and lighting have come a long way in recent years. Gone are the days of the singular choice between overhead fluorescent lights or Tuscany-inspired lampshades.
Nowadays, there's a unique statement fixture for every kind of kitchen—from farmhouse to industrial to minimalist and more.
The best part about upgrading your kitchen lights is that it can be a standalone change (no renovation required) that immediately transforms the space from utilitarian to unique.
Looking for fixtures to tie your decor together and light the way for future gatherings? Here are five of our top picks for trending lights from Instagram to help inform your next kitchen upgrade.
1. Dish lantern pendant
One of our favorite statement lights for a rustic or industrial-style kitchen is the dish lantern pendant, like these from @verandaestatehomes.
"Lantern pendants are great statement pieces for kitchen islands," says designer Meggan Fadden Wynja, of the Color Cord Company. "This grounds the kitchen island and creates balance. The dish-shaped diffuser softens the look by adding a natural element and providing a glow below with bright indirect light above."

2. Twin lamp shade sconces
If your farmhouse kitchen needs ambiance lighting (think: glowy evenings and soft mornings), look no further than these twin lantern sconces from @novelinteriors.
"These are classics for a reason," says Wynja. "They finish off a space nicely while providing the perfect amount of light—which will vary based on the shade's material. Fabric or glass provides the best luminance, but the trend of wicker shades adds a wonderful natural element."

3. Vintage amber glass pendants
Another understated but powerful statement light we love? These gorgeous vintage amber pendants and the way they look in this "cottagecore" kitchen from @devolkitchens.
"These vintage amber glass pendants captivate with their warm, inviting glow, reminiscent of candlelight," says designer Guillaume Drew, founder of Or & Zon. "Their popularity is due in part to the nostalgic atmosphere they create, which complements the current trend of blending modern and vintage elements in interior design."

4. Industrial chic silver pendants
For the minimalist kitchen that leans a bit industrial-modern, these otherworldly silver pendants from @settingforfour are our top pick.
"The industrial look has been in vogue for quite some time, and these chic silver pendants exemplify the practicality and sleek style of industrial design motifs," says Drew. "Their popularity lies in their versatility: They can adapt to various decor styles, from the ultramodern to the rustic, and offer a clean, functional aesthetic."

5. Double-head glass light
Looking for another light that works with many kinds of design motifs? Check out these larger-than-life glass pendants from @ruemagazine, the final light on our list.
"The double-head glass light fixture is beloved for its unique design and adaptability," says Drew. "It strikes the perfect balance between form and function, with multiple light sources that can be directed where needed, providing a bright workspace without overpowering the space."
