The Best Brass Pendant Light for your Kitchen

FINALLY I was able to share our kitchen in our new home, and that includes the gorgeous brass pendant light we went with. Because this was the second house where we used brass pendant lights I thought I would round up the best options for your kitchen and some tips for incorporating gold or brass into your home.

Outfitting our Kitchen with Brass Pendant Lights

This past summer my husband and I purchased an 1860’s home in the heart of a quaint downtown area of St. Louis. We have been renovating the house and enjoying it since, and I am excited to start sharing more decor and projects from this home.

Picking a Brass Pendant Light

Adding brass or gold to your kitchen can be kind of scary, but it is definitely a very ‘in thing’ right now, so I wanted to share some tips on picking the best brass pendant light as well as the rest of your hardware and choices and how that works.

One reason I think adding brass via lights in your kitchen can be so great is it is easy to change. So if you are worried about gold or brass not being in long term, it is something you can easily change out without a major kitchen remodel.

Below are a few considerations to make when it comes to making your lighting selection.

Not all Golds/Brass Shades are the Same

Unlike black or chrome/nickel, things get a bit trickier when you start to incorporate shades of gold or brass into your home. You will want to see the items side by side before install, and you may want to pick some mix and match.

You don’t have to match every gold or brass exactly, but you will want to be in the same color family especially if things are very close to each other. One way to cut down on some of that is to order from the same company.

When we did our kitchen in this house the first set of knobs for the upper cabinets were not the same shade and we had to switch to a new knob to get a good match.

Mix and Match

Because of the hard matching issue – and because its 2021 and you can just do what you want, one great option is to mix and match.

In our last home I chose to do black hardware on the cabinets and the faucet but brass for the light fixtures. It was a great affordable way to do things (all of it is linked in this post), and I LOVE the end outcome.

Now that said – in this house I wanted a less ‘farmhouse’ look so chose to add more brass while still mixing and matching with the black faucet.

Another thing that can be so scary with gold and brass is the appliances, but again you don’t have to worry about that. Gold and Silver can be mix and matched, so even if that means brass light fixtures and a chrome/nickel faucet and chrome/nickel hardware on the cabinets that is fine too.

I would say your only ‘rule’ is to keep it to 2 finishes between your faucet, hardware and lighting. I wouldn’t tie all 3 together (appliances don’t count).

So now that you know some general things to keep in mind – let’s see my favorite brass pendent light choices!
