Pendant lights are one of the most effective ways to add personality and function to your kitchen. The right pendant can enhance the space, provide valuable task lighting and contribute to the overall feel of your home. But with so many styles available, where should you begin?
In the following guide, we’ll highlight 10 unique options you can explore when shopping for pendant lights at Boardwalk Fans & Lighting in Perth, along with tips on how to position them for the best effect.
Top Minimalist Pendants
Minimalist pendants work well in modern kitchens where clean lines and simple forms are key. They can provide practical task lighting while maintaining an uncluttered look. The following designs show how small details in shape and finish can add interest without overpowering the space.
P287
With its matt black metal finish, the P287 brings a subtle industrial edge to modern kitchens. The simple shape and clean lines make it an ideal choice for task lighting over a kitchen bench or island. It also works well in dining areas where you want a light fitting that complements the room without drawing too much attention. For a more dramatic look, consider hanging two or three in a row over a long bench.
P297
The P297 offers a refined take on minimalist lighting. An opal glass diffuser is framed by a slim oval in either matt black or brushed brass, giving it a soft yet structured appearance. This pendant can be used in a variety of ways. It looks elegant in a pair over a smaller island or as a single feature light in a breakfast nook. The simple design also suits kitchens with open shelving or clean, uncluttered styling.
The Best Pendant Lights To Make A Statement
Statement pendants bring visual impact to a space. Whether you want to highlight a dining area, create a focal point over an island or introduce texture and shine, these styles are designed to stand out and enhance the overall look of the room.
P407
The P407 is designed to draw the eye. Its three-tier arrangement combines long prism crystals with bead crystal drops, creating layers of texture and sparkle. With a compact 300mm profile, it works well in kitchens where ceiling height is limited, but you still want a standout feature. Try it over a smaller dining table, in a breakfast nook or even in a scullery to bring unexpected glamour to practical spaces.
P219
For a more traditional statement, the P219 chandelier offers classic candelabra styling with a modern edge. The chrome frame and twisted glass arms are adorned with K9 crystals and beads, available in Smoke, Clear or Amber finishes. This piece suits larger kitchen spaces or open plan dining areas where you want the pendant to anchor the room. It can also be paired with matching wall lights for a coordinated look that ties the kitchen and dining zones together.
Best Rustic Pendant Lights
Rustic pendant lights are ideal for adding warmth and texture to a kitchen. Natural materials and aged finishes work well in both farmhouse and modern rustic spaces, helping to soften harder surfaces and bring a relaxed, lived-in feel.
P262
If you’re looking for a pendant with vintage character, the P262 blends black steel and rustic timber for a look that pairs beautifully with natural materials and farmhouse-style kitchens. Available in a 3-light or 5-light bar, it suits placement over longer benches or dining tables where you want a warm, layered effect. Using LED filament globes will enhance the rustic character and add a soft, welcoming glow to the space.
P445
The P445 brings an organic element into the kitchen with its natural rattan wicker shade. The contrast with clean white metalware keeps the look fresh and balanced, making it ideal for both rustic and modern boho interiors. It works well over a breakfast bar, in a casual dining nook or to add texture in a kitchen with simple cabinetry and stone or timber finishes.
Multi-Light Pendants
Multi-light pendants are a practical way to add both style and function to larger kitchen spaces. They can help spread light evenly across a bench or table while creating a strong visual feature. The following designs work well in kitchens where balanced lighting and statement style are equally important.
P306
The P306 combines rustic charm with simple elegance, making it a versatile choice for many kitchen styles. Its understated design brings warmth and character to both traditional and contemporary spaces. A multi-light fitting like this works well over larger islands or dining tables, where it can provide an even spread of light while adding visual interest.
P307
If you want a pendant with a clean, modern feel, the P307 features simple lines that highlight its shape, especially when combined with LED vintage filament globes. Use it as a statement piece above a kitchen island or in a row over a long bench to emphasise the length of the space. It is a good option for kitchens where you want lighting to feel modern but still warm and welcoming. (It would also look stunning in a hallway atrium!)
Versatile All-Rounders
Some pendants suit almost any kitchen style. These versatile designs can be used over benches, dining tables or in casual dining areas, offering both practical lighting and visual appeal.
P112
If you like the look of raw materials with a touch of polish, the P112 blends a washed concrete shade with timber accents for an understated industrial style. Its black suspension cable and chrome canopy create great visual contrast. This pendant works well over kitchen benches or dining tables, where its texture and muted tones can complement both modern and rustic interiors.
P150
The P150 is a practical and adaptable option for many kitchen layouts. Its domed metal shade, available in matt black, satin chrome or matt white, offers a classic industrial look. The gloss white interior helps reflect light downward, making it an excellent choice for brightening work areas. Whether placed over a breakfast bench or used to define a dining space, the P150 fits comfortably into a wide range of kitchen designs.
