What Do You Do When Your Airbag Light Comes on

Crystal Clear

1/26

Clear Globe Pendant Light

This two-tone kitchen by Urban Restoration has classic features with a few cool twists. Case in point: the lighting. The globe pendant lights above the island inject a little trendiness yet mesh well with the overall look of the space, and their clear glass enhances the openness of the room.

Kitchen Wall Sconces

Illumination reaches every corner of this kitchen by Jennifer Ryan Design thanks to the ample lighting. Gold wall sconces echo the gold-tone cabinet hardware and ensure sufficient lighting at crucial work stations like the sink, stove, and refrigerator, while a trio of dark-shaded pendants with gold accents brighten the island.

Black Farmhouse Chandelier

The shape of this hanging light fixture echoes the ceiling in this kitchen from James V. Coane & Associates. Where ultra-long pendant lights could have detracted from the effect of the high, angled ceiling, the rectangular chandelier draws attention to it. Plenty of recessed lighting ensures that the large room stays bright.

Traditional Pendant Lights For Kitchen

The oversize pendants in this kitchen by Beautiful Habitat make a statement without treading too far toward any specific style or trend. While they complement the transitional look of the space, they could also work well if the color or design of the kitchen changes down the road.

Cozy Farmhouse

Farmhouse Lighting

Lighting goes a long way toward determining the atmosphere of a room. This kitchen, designed by The Good Home —Interiors & Design, is bathed in natural light from the sink by the window. For a cozy farmhouse feeling, a pair of over-the-island lanterns lend a softer glow.

Modern Farmhouse

11/26

Modern Farmhouse Lighting

Farmhouse style, which is all about warm tones and natural touches, can too easily cross over into kitschy country. To balance the look, it's a good idea to add a few modern elements, as was done in this kitchen by A.Sadowski Designs. For instance, the black and gold of the spherical pendants brings a hint of glam to this modern farmhouse kitchen.

Simple Kitchen Lighting

Not every kitchen needs attention-grabbing lighting. The clear glass cone pendants over the island and the schoolhouse fixture above the sink go hand in hand with the clean Craftsman style of this kitchen by Right Arm Construction. The lighting is in sync with the times but not overtly trendy.

Something Different

Fun Kitchen Lighting

Why settle on just one fixture? Take a page from this kitchen designed by Restructure Studio and consider incorporating two different styles of lighting fixture. You can stick to a single shape or color for coordination, but don't be afraid to blend different looks.

Rose Gold Lights

Don't be scared off by a trend. Rose gold has been making a splash in the design world, and it's particularly at home in this playful but restrained kitchen. The gold finish of the half-globe pendants matches the faucet and cabinet hardware, and complements the colorful wallcovering.

String Lights for Grown-Ups

23/26

String Lights Kitchen

String lights add a warm glow to a space, be it a dorm room or a backyard deck, but they're just not entirely appropriate for formal home decor. In this kitchen by Jennifer Ryan Design, however, a grouping of dangling bulbs captures the friendly twinkle of string lights, but in a more mature and artful way.
