This post shares the best breakfast nook lighting of 2023, including linear pendants, chandeliers, and round pendant lighting.
Adding the finishing touches to a room is one of my favorite parts of a DIY project. After remodeling our kitchen, I had so much fun freshening up the small details in the surrounding spaces. One spot that we spend a lot of time as a family is our breakfast nook. We also see our breakfast nook from our kitchen, family room, and entryway. It doubles up as our formal dining area and I just love how cozy and inviting it feels.
While looking for the final touches for a space can be fun, it can also feel quite tedious. Either you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for, your favorite picks are sold out, or what your eyeing is way out of your budget.
On top of that, one of the most challenging touches to get just right is lighting. When executed well, lighting can make a huge impact on the overall feel of a space. I remember feeling a bit overwhelmed when I first started looking for a breakfast nook lighting, so I thought I’d round up some of my favorite picks.
Whether you’re remodeling your dining area or you’re simply looking to upgrade your existing lighting, these fixtures (including a lot of affordable lighting fixtures!) will inspire you to finish your space.
Linear Pendants
DESIGN TIP: Linear Pendants are perfect for rectangular dining tables and long narrow spaces!
Diana 4-Light Linear Pendant
This is the linear pendant I chose for our Breakfast Nook! I have been seeing this style everywhere lately and I’m such a fan. It’s simple and understated yet still catches your eye. It’s currently on sale and is such a steal!
Altman Dimmable Pendant
I’m swooning over this pendant. I love the cone shaped shades and like that it’s dimmable. The metal detailing on the shades also add a nice touch.
Indira Dimmable Pendant
This pick is admittedly pricier than the others on my list but it’s so unique that I had to include it! If you’re into statement making pieces that double up as art, this would be perfect for you.
Clare Dimmable Pendant
The reviews on this linear pendant confirm that style and function can come hand in hand. People rave about the quality, and it really does look more expensive than it is. You could also have fun switching out the bulbs for different shapes and styles.
Arie Pendant
Lighting fixtures offer an opportunity to have some fun, and this pick is certainly fun! Incorporating a globe pendant will add unexpected shape and dimension to your room.
Jaye Steel Dimmable Pendant
I love the varying lengths and alternating pattern on this 7-light pendant. The clear, glass globes are timeless and would complement any dining space.
Chandeliers
DESIGN TIP: Chandeliers work well with round dining tables and square dining tables, and are perfect for filling larger spaces.
Grove 4-Light Dimmable Classic Chandelier
I’m obsessed with this chandelier. I’ve honestly never seen something this style before and think it’s so special. The way the lights hang and rest against each other really drew me in.
Geometric Chandelier
This would look so pretty in a larger breakfast nook or formal dining space. It would also be a great addition if you have high ceilings. It comes in polished nickel, brass, and bronze.
Lucca Iron Chandelier
You can’t go wrong with a classic. This look has been around for years and it’s still a pretty option to hang above a dining table.
Round Pendant Lighting
DESIGN TIP: Round Pendants also work well with round dining tables and square dining tables and can be perfect for smaller spaces. Or, hang 2 or 3 pendants over a rectangular dining table for a dramatic look!
Cambria Rattan Pendant
How cute would this rattan chandelier be in a beachy or boho style house? The design is handwoven and is sure to bring some warmth to your space.
Franklin Metal Pendant
Sleek meets modern meets personality. This pendant does it all! The milk glass shade provides a subtle, amber glow.
Haven Drum Pendant
Aiming for a streamlined and simple look? You can’t go wrong with a drum pendant. This one comes in five different colors.
Clendon Dimmable Pendant
Depending on the space you’re working with, one or two of these pendant lights would make a stylish addition. It gets bonus points because reviewers noted that it’s easy to install.
Ribbed Glass Pendant
The ribbed glass on this pendant allows it to cast a romantic, soft stream of light that’s perfect for setting the tone during meals. I love that it has a bit of an antique vibe to it too.
