Kitchen lighting is no longer an underrated part of the household because nowadays, stylish kitchen islands, appliances and adjacent dining areas are quite common. You also need ceiling lights that create a warm and bright ambiance all over the room so that all the sections including oven, sink, counter, shelves and dining table remain well lit. LNCHome has a wide range of kitchen lighting fixtures that compliment traditional, vintage, rustic and contemporary kitchen setups.   

Among the contemporary kitchen island lighting fixtures for counter top and adjacent dining table, you can check out the 6-light ceiling facing foyer pendant fixture that comes with rustic steel and wooden frame surrounding drum-shaped water glass panels. The multi-paneled 25.8”body against the dark bronze detailing looks stunning as it offers perfect light dispersion. Another choice for light-and-shadowy light fixtures would be the 3-light chandeliers of 25.2”x10.2” or 16.5”x16.5” dimension with antique metal frame and crisscrossed distressed wooden panels. With beige linen burlap, a subtle warm glow is guaranteed. The metal rod can be adjusted between 13” and 64.5” for the former and between 9” and 63” for the latter. 

The caged farmhouse kitchen island lighting fixtures can create a patterned light dispersion in the kitchen. While the 5-light rectangular pendant chandelier with upward-facing candelabra fixtures reflect light excellently, the 4-light wooden farmhouse chandelier with downward-facing light shades offer a spotlight effect in the kitchen. For lightening up small spaces, look for the 3-light oval faux wood and metal cage pendant that is dimmer compatible and comes with adjustable chain. For lighting on four directions, the square foyer island light fixture with X-shaped holders will work the best. The 3 and 5-light wooden hanging pendants with metal joints, crisscrossed strings and clear cylindrical shades  or the 8-light wooden chandelier gives a new look for your dining table adjacent to kitchen island.

Three or five light chandeliers in brushed silver and black finish respectively come with separate metal arms hung from an axis. Linear 3, 4 and 5-light fixtures hung from metal or wooden base with a chain or 3 and 5-light fixtures hung from adjustable chains are quite unique to look at. Linear 3 and 5-light glass bottle chandeliers hung from rods on wooden base offer the same charm. 

Finally, the wooden geometric chandeliers with addition of metal are among the more ornamental kitchen island lights. 4-light chandelier with rectangular wooden and metal crisscrosses frames or 6-light chandelier with a wooden and three rectangular metal frames give transitional effect. The 3-light orb chandelier with metal ring and wooden curves or the 4-light wooden drum chandeliers are among the common examples of intricate wooden work on kitchen island lights. 

Apart from these, there are 8-light wooden beam pendants with adjustable entwining cords, the 4-light drum pendant in antique gold finish and 4-light iron pipe pendants for your kitchen. 

Only ceiling lights are not sufficient to create spotlight features or highlight a particular area of the room, be it a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen or living room. From rustic goose-neck wall sconces to elegant Mason jar fixtures, from swing-arm fixtures to wire caged sconces –there are various choices in LNCHome so that you can find the ones suitable for your rooms. While some households look good with metal fixtures, some incorporate fixtures made of wood or glass to create a rustic-chic look.

Among the most innovative and convenient wall sconce lighting fixtures are the adjustable sconces which can be moved side-wise, upward and downward according to your requirement. One of the variants is the 1-light fixture in an industrial bronze finish which supports antique exposed filament bulb on a flexible joint that can be moved at 90⁰ angles. Another option is the industrial black sconce with conical shaped shade attached to a flexible brass joint which gives a vintage look and directional lighting. For your vanity mirror, the upward and downward moving iron dome transitional wall sconce with brass joint, round dome shade and adjustable accents can be a great option.

If you are looking for kitchen or bedroom wall lights, the up and downward moving swing arm sconces can be the most flexible options. These fixtures are hardwired for usage in a dry area and have a plug-in system with a long cord so that turning on and off the lights become easier. One of the classic designs is the fixture with black matte shade and antique brass joints which look best in a sophisticated household. For a more laid-back setup, you can check out the fixtures with brushed silver and champagne gold Finnish. If the metal bell shades look conventional to you, there are clear glass shades in the brass and black metal finish as well as brushed silver finish.

In this context, you can also consider the rustic Goose-neck metal cap sconces which are available in various color variants like industrial black, brushed silver, warehouse white, barn gunmetal, antique brass matte, rust matte, and vintage blue.

Besides, for bathroom and vanity mirror, the goose-neck sconces with a bell shade, the mini cage sconce in an industrial rust finish and seeded Mason Jar sconces (single or 3-light fixtures) with hooked arm would be suitable options. Also, look out for the Industrial Steampunk wire caged 2-light fixture that can be hung vertically or horizontally and the wooden candelabra base with two candle fixtures that would look great on a living room or bedroom wall.   

The kitchen tends to be greasy or oily and shoots often get stuck up in the nooks and corners of the light fixtures –this is why intricate chandeliers that are used in living rooms sconces used in the bedrooms are not suitable for your kitchen island. LNCHome has thus categorized an array of island lights that have durable metal, wood and glass construction so that cleaning and maintaining them is easier on a regular basis. At the same time, these lights have their unique charm which makes them equally stylish and aesthetic like the lights in other rooms. These lights are hardwired and suitable for both dry and wet surroundings as well as compatible for vaulted, slanted, sloped and flat ceilings of the kitchen.

One of the most unique kitchen island lighting fixtures is the Farmhouse wooden hanging island lights which are available in 3-light, 5-light and 8-light variants –needless to say, according to the size of your kitchen counter, you can choose any variant. These upward-facing lights inside clear glass shades the placed on an iron base which is surrounded by a rectangular wooden frame in a way that the lights are visible from below.

Linear, non-linear or adjustable height Mason Jar and glass bottle pendants are probably the most nostalgic and vintage island lighting you will find. From 3 or 5-light chandelier styled Mason Jar lights to multi-pendant 3 and 5-light transitional lights with adjustable height –there are a number of variants in the glass bottle and Mason Jar Lights. Rectangular or oval caged farmhouse kitchen island lighting is another trend for kitchen lighting although you need to clean the metal and wooden bars regularly to avoid the accumulation of mold, shoot, and grease.
