You can also choose from energy saving, traditional and modern style. If you are creative mind, you can mix them these three styles up. Usually, they are installed above the dining table and kitchen island. You should focus the light above the island’s or table’s center.

I really like the large pendant lights, because no one can miss a fascinating glowing object that is floating at eye-level, which is not true for the small pendant lights. Depending of the kitchen size, you should pick a large or small pendant light design. They exist in many variations, ranging from cylindrical lights or classic round to slender single lamps, large chandeliers, etc. It doesn’t matter what you will choose, because they will improve the mood in your kitchen.

Before you choose a pendant light, you should ask yourself what kind of light do you want it to give off. Do you want one that emit light in all directions or soft light that will make you feel comfortable while cooking or eating.

Country Kitchen Designs

In the country kitchen designs, usually are used mini pendants with vintage style. Mini pendants are one of the hottest trends used in both country and modern kitchens. If you have a country kitchen, you should look for pendant lights with antique inspired elements, like weathered finished, metal shades, copper and bronze finishes, etc.
