Whether you're designing a new place or creating a casual space to entertain, nothing refreshes a kitchen's design quite like hanging pendants above the island. One incredible trend we are following this season is the Serene Seaside look championed by both Currey & Company and Beth Webb for Arteriors. The Serene Seaside look is all about celebrating natural elements and vintage designs. Be it woven rattan, ivory linen, gray-washed wood or black iron, each piece in this category adds character to a space by calling to mind the beauty of the shore. Some of our favorite new additions are the Desmond Large and Small Pendants from Arteriors Home with their slatted gray-washed wood panels and rustic charm. Although coastal by nature, these fixtures maintain a sense of min-century design with their drum shape and subdued metalwork that make them perfect for a variety of design styles. We also love the Verne Pendant and Manuscript Pendant by Currey & Company, which feature vintage wrought iron and Molé black-finished metal. In contrast to the Desmond Pendants, these fixtures provide a rich antiqued quality you might find in a heritage or heirloom piece to create the perfect juxtaposition in a tranquil white cottage.
