Illuminate in Style With Kitchen Lights

With the right kitchen lights in place, you can cast light down on every area of your kitchen, giving you plenty of light by which to whip up a quick breakfast or cook a complete gourmet meal. Williams Sonoma offers all the different types of kitchen lights you need in styles that will act as Jewellery for your room.

Types of Kitchen Lights

Evaluate the needs of the kitchen and the layout of the space. There are four main types of kitchen lights available. Choose the ones you need to bring layers of illumination into your room.

• Pendant Lights:Pendant lights are single fixtures that shine light down on the space below. Use a large single pendant light or choose a smaller design and arrange multiple lights down the length of a bar or a kitchen island.
• Lanterns: When you want to deliver a little modern farmhouse elegance to your kitchen, look for one of the lantern kitchen lights. Traditional and modern designs are available that surround bright bulbs with a metal framework. They make a show-stopping statement above a grand kitchen island or above a kitchen table.
• Chandeliers: Deliver a grand, elegant statement to your kitchen design when you hang a chandelier over your kitchen table or island. These multi-light fixtures range from ultra-traditional to clean and modern in design and often incorporate additional elements, such as glass and crystal prisms.
• Wall Sconces: Deliver an added layer of style to your wall decor by mounting a sconce on the wall behind your kitchen table or flanking your dining room buffet.

Choose a Style and Finish

Once you've determined which types of light you need, check out the available style and finish options. Antique brass lighting delivers a loved over-time appearance with industrial flair. When you want something bright and modern, choose a chrome or silver finish. A matte black finish helps to ground the kitchen design and pops against light countertops or cabinetry. You may want to coordinate the finish of the light to the existing metal finishes in the space, such as the kitchen faucet and cabinet hardware.

With so many kitchen lighting options available at Williams Sonoma, it's easy to discover pieces that will provide luxe lighting for many years to come. If you have an open concept home, continue the same lighting collections to other rooms within the same sightline, such as the foyer, dining room or living room.
