Barn Wall Sconce Brings Relaxed Style to Busy Kitchen

When you have a bunch of kids in the house, the kitchen tends to be the magnet area where homework gets tackled, snacks are served, and the family just seems to congregate at the end of a long day. A space filled with light and warmth makes the kitchen attractive and the smell of brownies floating down the hallway doesn’t hurt either! We visited this kitchen once before in our Industrial Farmhouse blog, but we didn’t give you the full picture of the kitchen entryway which features a dandy little barn wall sconce that highlights not only the doorway but the chalkboard wall that serves as place for impromptu notes and reminders. The galvanized sconce fits right in with the barn pendants and gooseneck lighting in the kitchen proper.

With the kitchen often serving as the central hub of the home, fixtures, furniture, and appliances must be able to handle all of the food prep, homework, entertaining, and simple relaxing that takes place within this popular spot. Even in a small kitchen like this where space is at a premium, the decor performs double duty with a industrial yet homey feel that makes the most of every inch of space.

Barn Light Industrial Pendant for a Bright, Modern Kitchen

Sliding barn doors, once useful mainly for keeping the horses in the stalls, are finding their way into homes everywhere from uptown Manhatten to the outskirts of Omaha. These doors add dimension and a touch of vernacular and, like this beautiful slider, keep the pantry shelves concealed with ease. We love the rustic look of the door’s styling against the bright white palette of this kitchen. Adding an industrial touch to the lighting scheme are sleek, deep bowl pendants overhanging the island. These pendants are much like our Industrial Uplight Pendant, part of our collection of Barn Pendant lighting.

Barn Pendant Light Adds Pop of Color, Style to Farmhouse Kitchen

Kitchens, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Barn Pendant Light Adds Pop of Color, Style to Farmhouse Kitchen

industrial-farmhouse-kitchen.jpgWhen faced with a tight space for a kitchen, one of the busiest rooms in the house, you might be tempted to keep everything on a small scale — the table, the appliances, the accessories. This cozy kitchen proves that if you want to go grand, it can certainly work. The long dining table fits right into the space with the smooth wooden surface complementing the wide planks of the rugged flooring. Instead of filling in the former fireplace, it becomes a cozy nook for the fridge, and the mantel makes a convenient shelf for the airy, sweeping plant that fills the upper space. And the touches of red all add a pop of color that livens up the look. The barn pendant hanging from above in a matching red finish is the crowning touch. Read More »

Vacation homes offer a respite from the everyday — routines, work, school, and chores. Yet, even on vacation, the family insists on eating so why not create a lovely kitchen retreat as well? This bright kitchen and dining area are part of a LEED Gold certified home in a coastal New England community. At a modest 1,200 square feet, this vacation home packs a lot of energy performance in a compact design. The home is built to Passive House standards and consumes only one-tenth of the energy for heating compared to a similar new home built only to code requirements.

In watching the industrial design trend take off like a freight train, we see so many examples of lighting that once hung in warehouses and factories now being used in every room of the house. From RLM-inspired warehouse shades in the kitchen and porcelain reflector shades in the dining room to barn wall sconces in the bathroom. There’s been an uptick as well in commercial settings where warehouse lighting can be found in businesses ranging from swanky boutiques to country stores.industrial_farmhouse_reflector_cone_pendant.jpg Read More »
