Best pendant lights for kitchen island 2023
2023 Brilliant Lighting Trends You Should Know
In addition to trend spotting colour at High Point market, my eDesign team was also on the lookout for lighting trends. Seeing what’s new in lighting is always a highlight of the market for us.
Lighting trends
Overall lighting seems to be moving toward a more traditional look. Details like pleated shades and smaller, fluted pendants were highlighted everywhere. Here are a few other lighting trends we think you should know about.
Hinkley Lighting
Popping on the scene: Bubble light chandeliers
A bubble light looks just like it sounds… a bunch of glass balls clustered or layered together to form a shapely chandelier.
And while this style has been around for a few years, we believe bubble light chandeliers are totally having their moment right now.
It’s because bubbles are happy, along with curves, polka dots, and hot air balloons!
There’s a definite shift from the sputnik-style globe light to this more delicate and grouped look of spheres.
Chris Loves Julia
If you’re looking for a way to incorporate a more modern-looking light fixture in your more traditional home, a bubble light chandelier is a great design choice. It adds a bit of interest but still works in transitional styles.
Oversized pendants: Could two be better than one?
In the High Point showrooms we visited, we noticed many dining tables styled with two oversized pendant lights instead of a more traditional single chandelier. This look adds so much visual interest to a dining table and the soft, diffused light creates a more inviting look overall.
Thibaut
Perhaps this lighting trend is also gaining momentum as part of the English kitchen look that you see everywhere now, especially as more kitchen designs are incorporating dining tables as islands.
It’s also possible that many homeowners are rethinking their open layouts and reverting back to more closed-off kitchens and dining areas – making this lighting choice more popular.
Turns out Kelly (my former assistant) was ahead of the trends, she installed two pendants in her dining room two years ago!
There is a caveat though if you are building a new home. It could be quite challenging for builders to predict where the table lines up – because now you need two holes in your ceiling instead of one. Just something to keep in mind.
Colour me happy: Brightly painted lanterns
We’ve been talking about how people growing tired of stark and leaning into COLOUR. And we think this is a really good translation of this colourful trend.
Lantern & Scroll
Painted lanterns are a lovely way to incorporate a pop of colour instead of the traditional metal chandelier. Some designs are a more refined take on the farmhouse pendants we are used to seeing.
Curated Interior
And, if you have a timeless white kitchen, why not indulge in some colourful lantern-style lighting?
Not new, but definitely back: Pleated lamp shades
Just like mixing modern lighting in a more traditional home, the pleated lamp shade trend combines a traditional feel with a modern twist and is yet again, reminiscent of English design.
Hello Lovely Living | Standing Lamp
Our youngest eDesigner, Carly, described it like this,
“I’m just noticing that as I’m getting to the age where I can afford to purchase more home decor items… now it feels like decor that was trending in my early childhood is coming back. Pleated shades. Mauve.
So there’s an emotional connection to this style, yet I’m not TIRED of them and seeing it overdone. It feels like a comfortable and familiar thing that’s now being reintroduced in a pretty way.”
This is such a pretty swing arm lamp:
How about you? Many of us remember pleated shades from our past. Are you tired of them or finding them pretty again?
Pleated shades already feel like a natural companion to the pink and mauve colour trend we saw.
A return of ruffles: Petticoat shades (aka fluted ceramic)
If you really want to take a deep dive into English design in your own kitchen, fluted ceramic lighting is a pretty choice.
And speaking of glass shades, textured glass shades with soft patterns (or opal and milk glass shades) that diffuse the light are also gaining popularity.
It’s a sweetly vintage, yet feminine alternative to a naked Edison bulb – when will this trend just die already? They hurt my eyes.
More lamp love
Of course, we saw our fair share of lamps in all different, shapes, colours and sizes. Because showroom designers understand the importance of lamps to help create a look and a feel.
And while we’re on the subject, please understand that not all lighting is equal.
Recessed lighting and overhead fixtures are never really flattering to you or your room. And really, they aren’t very effective in providing enough light anyway. That’s why I think you should skip them altogether.
Your main living spaces like living and family rooms should have at least 4 lamps with lampshades – that’s the secret. It’s the lampshade that helps distribute the light softly around the room, which is what creates atmosphere.
I spy 5 lamps in this historic Manhattan apartment below.
Architectural Digest
Don’t neglect even the smallest spaces in your home. Even foyers and powder rooms need a couple of lamps or wall sconces. And don’t be afraid to turn your lights on during the day if you have a dark corner.
Emily Henderson
Lighting rules of thumb
- Stick to white or off-white lamp shades. This provides the most glow and ultimately makes it easier to coordinate various lamps.
- Use warm LEDs instead of cool ones. Cool LEDs have their place but won’t add to the cozy feel in your room.

Lighting Trends Coming in 2023 You’ll Be Obsessed With
Comfort living will most likely remain an interior design theme and will continue to influence lighting trends in 2023. This means feel-good lighting that brings warmth in both design and illumination. With comfort put on a pedestal, lighting will play a starring role in the look and feel of interiors. The design and character of this lighting will offer a unique focal point that adds an original touch to home interiors.
The overall focus for lighting will be on raw natural materials, simple designs, and functionality. Envision colors, shapes, and textures that will exude a feeling of softness, simplicity, and elegance while creating a cozy atmosphere. At the same time, metal will also play a role in lighting trends in 2023.
Steel, brass, gold, and copper metals play a role, depending on the style of the décor. This juxtaposition makes ceiling lights and ceiling lighting fixtures as versatile as they are stylish.
Below are some inspiring ways these 2023 lighting trends will make homes cozy, warm, and inviting.
Lighting Fixtures Made with Natural Materials
Lamps featuring natural materials such as wood, glass, and jute will take center stage. This means lights that feature wood, jute, and more. Any material that adds texture and a natural feel is fair game in this design trend. The trend can extend beyond the material into form with lighting with glass shades in the shape of drops.
@raleighcustomhomes, photography by @catnguyenphoto Jayna 25 Inch 4 Light Chandelier by CrystoramaThe jute-wrapped two-layered frame of the Jayna 25 Inch 4 Light Chandelier by Crystorama brings a natural, breezy feel to this mudroom. The open-weave drum adds visual interest and just the right amount of casual sophistication.
The natural materials are echoed in the baskets on the shelves and highlighted by the brightness of the space.
Featuring a simple shape and hundreds of buri sticks, the Swami 32 Inch Large Pendant by Arteriors Home was formed using traditional fishing baskets. Buri sticks are derived from a palm found in the Asian tropics. The result is a clean, elegant pendant that offers warm illumination. The ombre finish references the light wood cabinets and black and white tile floor.
@dsinteriors Finch 43 Inch Large Pendant by Arteriors HomeIn a literal interpretation of nature, the natural wood branches grow out of the iron center of the Finch 43 Inch Large Pendant by Arteriors Home. An organic version mid-century modern starburst shape, this stunning chandelier offers glowing light in this cozy den or any room in which it is placed.
Why Minimalist Lighting Designs Will Be Popular
In addition to natural elements, minimalism and organization are key to 2023 trends.
With interesting material and shapes with no unnecessary details, this style of lighting can be used in any design. Interesting shapes, textures, materials, and no unnecessary details are the hallmarks of this trend.
This bold black and white color palette is complemented by the simple teardrop shape of the Hudson Valley Lighting Hagen 17 Inch Large Pendant. The intricately perforated metal band wraps around the middle and top of the glass shade, adding just the right amount of detail. The aged brass finish ties into finishes on the cabinets, creating a beautiful, balanced look. The brass finishes also make the space feel warmer and more comfortable.
@melindaofbespoke, photography by @jessicadelaneyphotography Suzanne Kasler Morris 13 Inch Cage Pendant by Visual Comfort and Co.This kitchen’s light, bright design is echoed in the light, brightness of the Suzanne Kasler Morris 13 Inch Cage Pendant by Visual Comfort and Co.
The geometric shape and clear glass shade combine minimalism with a modern edge. The lightness of the design echoes the lightness of the space and is not distracting, so it adds rather than subtracts from its beauty.
Fresh Chandelier Trends Coming in 2023
Beautiful, large chandeliers will always be in style. Stunning chandeliers make a statement in any room, and that goes for one made of wooden beads and other natural elements. Their sheer size and grandeur grab attention, and the natural materials refresh the design. Adding a stunning chandelier is a great way to amp up the drama in any room.
@everydaylovelydesign, photography by @susiephoto Kayla 42 Inch 12 Light Chandelier by Capital Lighting Fixture CompanyBlending the classic elegance of a crystal chandelier with the natural materials that are so in the moment, the Kayla 42 Inch 12 Light Chandelier by Capital Lighting Fixture Company embodies a mix of coastal chic and boho vibes. Cascading strands of wooden beads bring a casual, relaxed feel to this classic shape without losing any of the drama.
Gently draped wooden beads are the perfect combination of materials and texture in the Poppy 26 Inch 6 Light Chandelier by Crystorama. The natural wooden beads offer rich visual impact in any room. In this bedroom, the Poppy echoes the neutral palate and adds just the right amount of glam to the simplicity of the room’s design.

11 trendy pendant lights that fit perfectly into the kitchen island
The kitchen island has become an indispensable element of the modern kitchen. A kitchen island adds a lot, especially in open-plan homes - meaning you can keep in touch with your family or guests while you cook.
Cleaning vegetables, slicing meat, preparing sauces, preparing breakfast... a kitchen island can do many different things. That's why lighting is so important.
Spotlights are a good choice, but many people choose to hang a pendant light above their kitchen island. Why? Because there are many different types of lights available - from slim down lights to those that really catch the eye. This is a great way to add your personal touch to kitchen lighting.
Want to hang pendant lights above your kitchen island? Then you should first read our tips and suggestions.
A few tips
- Don't hang pendant lights too low or they will block your view. We recommend a minimum distance of 65 cm between the luminaire and the worktop.
- Do you have a low ceiling? Don't opt for a large dome, opt for a compact pendant light instead.
- Ensure that the minimum brightness of the work surface is 600 lumens.
Our selection of pendant lights for the kitchen
Our large selection of pendant lights is both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, everyone will find something to their liking, and on the other hand, it can sometimes be difficult to make a choice.
Fortunately, we are here to advise. Below is a selection of pendant lights that will fit perfectly over a kitchen island.
Artemis Castore
Castore designed by Hub Ubbens and Michele De Lucchi. It impresses with its simplicity: the lamp consists of a spherical diffuser made of blown glass in matt white. This means the Castore produces a soft and even light that is ideal for the kitchen.
Artemide Castore is best described as a glowing raindrop.

Artemide Tolomeo Sospensione Decentrata
Admittedly, this is not actually a pendant lamp in the purest sense of the word. However, we don't want you to miss out on this lighting solution. This apartment uses two Artemide Tolomeo Suspensione Decentrata lamps. The adjustable lever makes this model very useful. You're cutting an onion in the middle of a kitchen island and need a little more light.
You simply pull the lampshade cover towards you. Very comfortably!

Do you recognize this photo? This is the kitchen of a villa designed by DKOR Interiors. They used Flos Chasen over a kitchen island. This pendant lamp catches the eye with its pear-shaped network of wires. And, as you know, in 2016, such wire lanterns are more popular than ever.

Light years Orient
Orient is a design classic.
The original design dates back to 1963, but it was relaunched in 2013 by Lightyears. This pendant lamp has an organic shape that goes well with both modern and rustic kitchens. Joe Hammerborg also gave it a subtle detail: small vertical holes in the top of the lampshade cover.
Copper lampshade cover and rosewood tip - a good combination.

Kitchen design 2023 | TOP-90 Best Interiors!!!
For every person, a home is a place that is associated with warmth, comfort and family. The kitchen, without a doubt, is the soul of any home, the most popular room in all households. The kitchen area is not only a place for cooking, but also part of the apartment, where the whole family can gather for lunch and intimate conversations. Therefore, it should evoke only positive emotions. Modern technologies and interesting design solutions make it easy to implement a fashionable and stylish kitchen interior in 2023. To turn a dining room into a beautiful and comfortable place, you should carefully consider its design. We will talk about how to do this correctly in our article.
Kitchen interior 2023 - fresh modern design ideas
Tablecloths, runners, linen and cotton napkins, as well as ceramic dishes will fit well into the interior of the kitchen 2023. When choosing table mats, opt for woven or woven patterns that look organic and natural. Gold-colored cutlery will add chic and elegance to the kitchen. To give your kitchen personality and character, choose black cutlery.
In the design of the kitchen, it is desirable to use mainly natural materials. Small storage baskets or planters made from natural fibers such as seaweed exude an incredibly cozy charm. The same can be said for homemade macrame, which are great for wall hangings.
Color choice
Last but not least is the kitchen color scheme 2023. People feel uncomfortable when there is no color harmony in the room. Each person has a different idea of color combinations. But the perception of certain colors is standard.
The color of life is red, the color of passion and love.
Saturated red often causes irritation, so it is better to use softer shades - burgundy, pink, coral. The solar color is yellow, which is considered in the East a symbol of eternity. Thanks to him, a cozy and warm atmosphere is created, setting the household on a positive wave. A more saturated shade is orange, so when using this color, a cheerful feeling is enhanced.
All of the above colors increase appetite, thanks to which food is better absorbed. But it should be remembered that visually red color can reduce or increase the space. Very saturated shades visually narrow the room - yellow, red-orange, mustard-ocher.
Blue is the color of the sea and sky, which is considered a symbol of peace and peace of mind. It is this tone that brings a cool freshness to the room.
Bright blue should not be used in kitchen design 2023 as it suppresses appetite. Violet has the characteristics of two colors because it consists of a blue and a red hue.
The aggression of red neutralizes the blue color, and the coldness of blue, in turn, brightens up the red color.
The color of harmony and peace is green. It has a positive effect on human performance. Eyes do not get tired of this color. In order to achieve harmony in the kitchen interior, you should combine bright yellow with calm green.
Associations with laboratories can cause the "airy" white color of the kitchen. That is why it must be combined with other colors. It creates a balance with red and also softens the coolness of blue.
Brown is a neutral color that does not evoke emotions. But thanks to the yellowish-brown tint, an atmosphere of spiritual closeness is created. Dark shades cannot become the color scheme of the kitchen, as they visually reduce the room and suppress appetite.
When choosing any color, it is worth considering its harmonious combination with other shades.
Kitchen furniture must be chosen in soft, soothing colors.
Collaboration with a professional designer today is a very fashionable and common trend, which is also typical for provincial regions. In particular, it will be relevant for country houses, which involve working exclusively with large and spacious rooms, which, as a rule, require the use of a large number of furniture items, as well as additional design details.
The choice of style and finishing materials as the texture of ceramic tiles on the kitchen backsplash and the material of kitchen appliances.
Recently, in the field of kitchen design, there has been a desire to mix styles, materials and colors. Let's look at the most interesting interior design ideas that will be especially popular this year.
In the new generation of design trends, the ideas of a variety of colors and classic interior elements are manifested, the introduction of bright, even flashy colors in kitchen decor - juicy pink, bright yellow, burgundy and blue.
And all this riot of colors reigns within one kitchen, making it absolutely boring and unique. At the same time, the coal-black color of the refrigerator brings its strict sound to the overall cacophony of colors.
The idea of such an unusual kitchen design in 2023 is not commonplace and quite original, but, of course, not for everyone. Minimalist solutions, an abundance of metal and plastic are not appropriate here. Furnishings should be arranged in a certain way, so as to emphasize the symmetry of the whole composition.
Fans of a more conservative style in the interior of the 2023 kitchen are encouraged to use more restrained elements, such as modern stainless steel kitchen appliances and classic wooden furniture. This combination does not look pretentious or unusual and looks quite harmonious. You can add variety to such a kitchen interior using a beautiful mosaic on a kitchen apron or an unexpectedly bright color of one of the kitchen niches.
The combination of material and color of kitchen floors and worktops also adds to the charm of the kitchen interior. Gray, brown, bluish or beige granite floors and shiny polished marble countertops in similar colors create an indescribable impression of the unity of kitchen design elements.
If you're tired of your appliances taking up a lot of space, try incorporating built-in appliances into a modern style kitchen area. This trend opens up various possibilities for interior design: appliances can now stand out as a stylish accent or hide discreetly in cabinets.
As upper cabinets disappear and kitchen walls open up, appliances and storage systems move under the high counter. This trend is in tune with universal design principles and provides access to small appliances (such as a microwave). Calm neutral colors and natural materials (wood, stone, cork, cotton) are again used in the interior design of the kitchen 20003
.
design - the use of air-purifying plants, along with natural materials, as well as recycled or recyclable materials and energy-saving appliances.
Of interest are the rounded shapes of the furniture. This trend aligns very well with practical feng shui, which recommends that furniture in the kitchen be free of sharp edges. Fortunately, there is plenty to choose from on the market - round tables, sofas, armchairs, even recessed lights. This type of furniture, in addition to functionality, is in most cases very comfortable thanks to soft upholstery that beckons you to sit down.
The fashion trend of 2023 is the emphasis on lighting in the kitchen area. LED lighting is getting cheaper and more affordable. Incandescent light bulbs are almost out of use, energy-saving light bulbs still remain. Large pendant lights are preferred for this year.
Eco-style is always relevant. Natural materials for decorating light fixtures (textiles, twine, rope) are in fashion.
Open light bulb pendants, typical of the industrial loft style, are very fashionable now, but if you prefer a luxurious art deco chandelier, you will be in fashion too. Color options include black, gold and pink. Choose lights for your kitchen that you like and that you will be comfortable using for the next 5-10 years.
Kitchen 2023: fashion design trends (ideas, photos)
The kitchen, as we mentioned above in the article, is the heart of the house. And this is not surprising. After all, this is where the family spends most of the time, so it is important to arrange it in the best possible way. Kitchen design 2023 should reflect not only your taste, but also the best modern ideas and trends.
Trends, no matter how fashionable they are, change quite often. The kitchen trends discussed below – ditching upper cabinets, sparkling quartz countertops and open floor plans – are likely to stand the test of time.
Quartz countertops have recently replaced granite as the leading solution for luxury kitchens because they require less maintenance and have a smooth, shiny surface that blends with other materials in the kitchen.
Open floor plans will continue to be a trend in kitchen design. Demolish the walls separating the kitchen area from the living room. People increasingly prefer comfort and convenience. Open-plan kitchens encourage households to invite guests and socialize more in an informal setting.
Fast, safe and aesthetically pleasing are the main reasons why more and more families are opting for low energy induction cookers. As a result, even small kitchens look beautiful while cooking and surfaces remain safe. In addition, there is no need for a bulky hood. Induction hobs open up a wide range of design options.
Thanks to technological progress, LED lighting no longer looks cold and continues to be used for innovative purposes.
Use LED bulbs to light up cabinet handles, under top cabinets, countertops or an island. New generation LED lamps are more efficient and last longer than halogen and fluorescent lamps. Light kitchens 2023 will never go out of style. Rather, you may be bored with another trend that is gaining momentum this year - dark cabinets and bold, bright shades. If you stick to a white palette, you can always spruce up the look of your kitchen with accessories to give it more flair. You can create contrast with a colored floor or colored tile between the upper and lower cabinets to find the perfect shade for you.
Deep drawers make food preparation and storage easier. They are easier to access than regular base cabinets and pair well with various elements to create a beautiful kitchen design. Various additions to organize the space inside such boxes make it easier to put things in order.
Less is more is the new minimalist trend. Upper cabinets are getting smaller as people increasingly move towards more open, airy designs that allow for ventilation, such as open shelves that can hold plates or kitchen décor.
The reverse side of this trend is that the hostess has to make more efforts to arrange and clean them.
The kitchen interior design trend 2023 is maximum functionality, simplicity of shapes, clear and straight lines. This trend is gaining momentum, and traditional kitchens with heavy decorative elements are losing their popularity.
Timeless polished metal finish. As accents, you can use polished chrome or nickel in the form of sink mixers, shelf mechanisms and more. Gold trim is also in vogue. Stainless steel continues to rule the world of home appliances. Deeply rooted in professional and commercial kitchen spaces, this neutral color integrates seamlessly into any style.
Natural wood floors have been making the kitchen cozy for many years, and this trend has not bypassed the trendy interiors of the kitchen 2023. The presented material adapts to any style in the room. Wood-like materials such as laminate also have a future.
