Pendant above island with 8 foot ceilings?
Comments (75)No absolutely have never felt they are too high - I feel like lower would be annoying for conversation because when we host we routinely have people at the island while we are cooking and preparing , setting out food etc. I got our tiles from a local tile store- there wasn't a brand name on the box. it just said Made in Spain....See MoreHow many pendant lights over 36"x94" island w/9 foot ceiling?
Comments (4)My island is 58" x 105" with 8' ceilings. I went with two 13" Benson pendants. Perhaps it's because my ceilings are only 8', but I can't imagine having three of these in my space as they take up a large amount of visual space. I had considered going with three of the 7", but the consensus here was to go with the larger. Glad I did as they really do make a statement....See Morependant lighting for 8 ft. island with 9 ft ceilings
Comments (2)We're glad you asked! We have advice about this very subject. Pendant size is determined by taking the width (not length) of your island in inches and subtracting 12. The number you get is a good maximum size for a pendant light. We recommend spacing pendants about 2 feet apart, so with your 8 foot island you could definitely go for 3 pendants. If you do choose 3, choose ones that are a bit smaller than the maximum size per pendant as mentioned above. If you go for 2, you could pick out larger pendants (which is a popular look these days), more towards that maximum size per pendant. Please let me know if you have any questions or want me to pick out some item recommendations for you!...See Moreneed linear pendant lighting for an 8 foot island
Comments (2)8 feet is not so long that you couldn't just do one large fixture of your choice, maybe even a chandelier if that is your style. Check out some of the options from Visual Comfort & Co at Circa Lighting. Your fixture doesn't need to match the shape of your island necessarily....See Morescubated
