Pop of Light: The Playful Pendants That Bring This Kitchen to Life

Hung above the island in a trio of vibrant jewel tones — ruby red, amber yellow, and golden chartreuse — these pendants are a celebration of color and light. Their rounded shapes soften the room’s clean lines, while the translucent glass diffuses sunlight during the day and glows warmly at night.

What we love most is how they layer with the rest of the kitchen’s visual rhythm. The minty green tile, richly painted cabinetry, and collected ceramics already tell a story — the pendant lights simply highlight the punctuation. They echo the same tonal energy: cheerful, bold, and delightfully unpretentious.

In a world of neutral kitchens and safe lighting choices, this setup says: bring in the color. Make it personal. Let it shine.

You can find them here.

Why it works:
These pendants are a lesson in visual confidence. Their bold hues contrast the green backsplash but coordinate with other key accents — like the tulip bouquet, terracotta floors, and hand-painted dishware. They hang low enough to make an impact, but not so low they interrupt the function of the island. And the varying tones keep things dynamic without feeling chaotic.

Style Tip:
If you're working with a kitchen that already has strong personality (hello, open shelving, artisan dishes, and vibrant tile), your lighting can either fade away or join the fun. Choose glass pendants in bold colors or playful shapes to amplify the mood — especially if you're trying to break up clean lines or cool tones. Bonus: colored glass always looks beautiful backlit by windows or natural sun.
