Exposed opaque spherical bulbs parlay a chic mid-century vibe and still feel utterly fresh and modern.

An articulated light is a genius addition to any kitchen.

Sometimes the best way to make a style statement is discreetly. If these glass pendants had solid coloured shades, they would be too dominant in this mostly white kitchen. Opting for clear bulbs and seeded glass shades lets them blend in while elevating the scene.Kitchens10 Statement Lighting Styles That Will Transform Your Kitchen in a SnapGlass Pendant Lights
