Kitchen Redo 101: How Fixtures can make a Difference


Interesting Oven Hoods

Oven hoods can be easily forgotten about and looked over in kitchens. However, they can be a fantastic place to create interest in your space. These are some examples of how your oven hood can make a beautiful statement. Anything from covering it in reclaimed wood, to painting it all black, to adding copper accents to it can all create a beautiful outcome.

Pendant Lighting

Lighting is one of the most important fixtures you can have in your kitchen. The more lighting you can add to your kitchen the better. Pendant lighting is a great option because you can use multiple pendants or just one, depending on your needs. Some popular styles of pendant lighting include bell jars, Edison bulbs, and nautical style cage pendants.

Beautiful + Functional Sink and Faucet

Another easily overlooked fixture is the kitchen sink. While your sink and faucet simply seem like necessary parts of your kitchen it can, in fact, be a beautiful part of your decor as well. Farm sinks are quite popular because they are very functional, as they provide much more space, while also being aesthetically pleasing. If you are happy with your current sink but would like to update the faucet, antique brass is a fun option as shown in one of the examples below. Incorporating touches of this antique brass can bring in a classic and historical touch.

Lights, Camera, ACTION!


Forget the camera, all the action is in lights right now!  The past few years have been all about economic hard times and the growth of the green movement.  As a result I’m seeing people go back to basics.  Simpler decor , clean lines and natural textures are becoming very dominant preferences of my clients in an effort to use resources wisely & to be green (or at least appear to be green).  Look at these funky fixtures from one of our vendors….

Halo Chandelier: A bare-bones light fixture that is mesmerizingly beautiful.   Imagine hanging this above your breakfast nook table to brighten up your mornings. 


Workshop Cage Lights: A pair of these would be a perfect compliment to a bar area or island overhang in a kitchen.


Clear glass Pendants: The clear glass creates a weightless & nearly invisible silhouette for the light. A cluster of these could be a divine illumination in a home office! 


The industrial nature of these fixtures don’t mean that they are only suited for a warehouse loft or a basement sublet.  Combining these lights with a rich, warm & inviting space compliments the design of the space instead of competing with it.  Whatever your personal style, natural and rustic have their place.

Happy lighting!
