MY FAVOURITE KITCHEN LIGHTING – PENDANTS AND WALL LIGHTS

Deciding on the lighting was one of the most difficult parts of the kitchen renovation. Hours were spent scrolling through every website I could find, searching for the perfect brass wall sconce, or the ideal kitchen lighting for over the island. I was driving myself crazy by the end of it! Someone asked me recently where I bought the island pendants and I couldn’t believe that it took me a while to remember! So just for future reference, I have them here! And while I was at it, I’ve put together a few others that were on the list at the time, as well as a few recent finds.

I’ve also included a list of wall sconces too that I thought were so pretty. I remember thinking it would be so easy to find cone-shaped, brass wall sconces. I actually spotted my ones almost immediately after I started looking, but dismissed them as I thought they were too expensive. But after weeks of searching, no other wall sconces were a right fit. Spending the extra money was absolutely worth it.

My Top 9 Pendants

1. £85 is a steal for this multi-arm pendant. Habitat is worth checking out for lighting!
2. This one is another Habitat find, plus it has lots of great reviews!
3. This terrazzo designed pendant from Sklum is currently hanging in my utility room!
4. Isn’t the design of this sooooo pretty?! Expensive, but pretty. Found on Not on the High Street.
5. Sklum is coming up trumps with budget lights. I’ve seen this design a lot on Instagram lately and it looks great when lit in the evening.
6. The simplicity of this one from Spark and Bell is just stunning!
7. I think this bamboo pendant from Made would throw some fab shadows around the room at night.
8. Small and simple. A light to sit in the background and let something else in the room sing. From Made.
9. This one from MLamp is pretty good value for a larger pendant. According to Google, this price equates to about €54!

My Top 9 Wall Lights

1. If you’re looking for a brass narrow wall light, this one from Lampe Mesteren might be the one!
2. This iron wall lamp from Amazon comes in a very pretty grey too.
3. This plug-in brass light is an absolute steal from Cox and Cox. Down to £37.50 from £150!
4. My kitchen wall lights that stole my heart! Mullan Lighting has a beautiful selection, with great service.
5. I think these from Spark and Bell would be gorgeous hanging vertically. So unusual!
6. Love the taupe colour of this one from The Lighting Superstore. It looks great with the brass.
7. This double wall sconce from Sklum would look amazing on the wall!
8. A small but mighty wall light from Kave Home.
9. Another one from Kave Home. I love the colour of it and the matching green cord is a pretty design addition.

My Own Kitchen Pendants

I know some of you will be wondering why I didn’t add my own island pendants to the list above. I wanted to explain a bit more about them here. I actually used a two different companies to hang these pendants. The Fidella glass lampshade is from Dar Lighting. For anyone living in Ireland, I bought these through the Cork Lighting shop. I then bought a brass light holder kit from Creative Cables, added a white fabric cord (which is hard to come by actually) and then used a matt white ceiling rose. I just love them.
