how many pendants above kitchen island 48" in length?
Comments (11)Thanks all! Island dimensions are 4' x 3' and I am considering a Pottery Barn glass schoolhouse style available in 8" diameter/7.5" height. Fixture is also available in 11" size. Both are 75 watt. I need more light than one fixture can provide. I would prefer 3 lights but that may be too many for the 4-foot length. Seems that 3 lights would have to be hung about 12" apart and that might seem crowded with an 8" fixture. Thoughts?...See MoreHow many pendants for kitchen Island?

Comments (66)" A light neutral" could be a soft white. Wood and paint are different animals!! You can't get a pale white oak in paint. : ) Plaster really ISN'T pink. It isn't a great neutral, hence your struggle. Farrow and Ball is noted for rich "off" shades, .......but they are, without their real brights? Pretty traditionally muted! Complex! A bit grayed out. You're trying to keep two feet in a mid cent boat and one in tradition. Simultaneously. Colors, lights. all. And then there is hubby.......and you are deciding with every element chosen in a bit of isolation from another. Making harmony difficult in many aspects lol. England isn't the Mediterranean, nor the California coast. Two places where the strong warm light and the nature allow a vibrancy in color, not generally found in the UK......unless in the garden. Even then? Few bougainvillea, that may adorn plaster white homes on your shore........ My point is the more muted UK....and the stretch to pastel or brighter mid cen. Every color has a silent "message'. Nature and art? More forgiving than any room. With Designers Guild rug...See MorePendants Over Kitchen Island 2 or 3
Comments (12)I really like clear glass pendants much better than anything else because I like to see through them and have them be less prominent but to alleviate the glare issue, I used Edison bulbs. I searched high and low for ones with the spiral filament (so they are interesting to look at) that matched the Kelvin temperature of my cans (all 3500). Most of the Edison lights I found were 2700 which was going to be way too yellow against the cooler can lights. But I did finally find them. I don’t find the glare to be an issue at all. I don’t use the pendants that frequently—usually just if someone is sitting at the island having a late night snack or something....See MoreElizabeth
