According to Charlene Le Roux of Easylife Kitchens, decorative pendants in matte black and glass are in for 2020 and are ideal for adding sophistication to open-plan kitchens. For a focal point that makes a statement, look for oversized fittings that can also provide task lighting for prep work.

This classic look has been around for years and is now available in porcelain tiles, which can be used on both floors and walls and are easy to lay and maintain.
