Choosing Lantern Pendants for Your Kitchen

I love the look of lantern pendants over kitchen islands and tables and am looking into my options for one over the teeny eat-in area in our kitchen. I love that the lantern style is timeless and classic yet there are plenty of options with updated twists! In fact, there are too many options… I’ve found a ton that I love so now my job is to narrow it down to find one just right for my space. I thought I’d share my favorites with all of you in case you’re on the hunt for lantern pendants in your kitchen too! (includes affiliate links – see my full disclosure statement {here}).

One of my long-time favorites is Pottery Barn’s Hundi Lantern available {here} that has a beautiful bell shape:

Another long-time favorite is Pottery Barn’s Bolton Lantern available {here} that has a distressed bronze finish and is made to resemble an antique street lamp. It’s actually made of a rust-resistant bronzed steel so it’s a pendant that can be used both indoors and out!

This Darlana pendant {found here} is a no-fail lantern style pendant that I’ve seen used time and time again – it is available in several finishes and sizes and always works beautifully! I have a pair of them (size small) in the gilded finish over our kitchen island:
