Number of pendants over a 6x3 Island
Comments (2)Hi lynw, Three 3 pendants will appear too crowded over an island of that size. Stick with the 2 and yes, to best highlight the surface of the island, mount them 20" to 24" in from each end. Suzy...See Morehow many pendants for 10'x4.5' island
Comments (2)I think either option would be fine. Two big pendants is very in right now and yes, I think at 16'' by 13'' they would be big enough. I will add though that 16'' is tall and if you onl;y have 8 feet ceilings make sure you are okay with how that will look.

Hang balloons, paper plates or cardboard cutouts to get a sense of how each would look - although, if you are like me, you had to make the decision before the island was even there, during the electricial rough-in stage. HTH but not sure it did b/c I didn't give you a definitive answer. Sorry....See More3x4 island - 2 pendants - 8'' ceiling - pendants' size Q?

There are definitely different sized slabs for different stones. I would go to the stone yard and choose your slab and then make the island to fit....See Moreromy718
