Can the kitchen island be off centered ???
Comments (10)If the sink wall is 14'10", there should be plenty of space for the fridge, but the window might need to be adjusted to the right. Either way, I'd put the DW on the left side of the sink, to keep it out of the prep area between the sink and cooktop.. What kind of view do you have from the cooktop wall? Have you considered windows on each side of the hood, to allow more light in the kitchen? To answer the original question I don't think an off-center island would look strange. kelleg, yours is beautiful!...See MoreHow do I light a off centered 7' island?
Comments (22)I agree with Beth and M.E. Light the island with 1 larger or 3 smaller clear or light toned pendants with a metal finish of your choice to match your theme or hardware, or hood, etc. Center it to the island, so that you can illuminate that work/visiting space. It looks like you can pull off 3, because your island looks larger. I am doing the same thing in my farmhouse kitchen right now. I have a very small island though, so will do only one medium sized pendant, and I have no real focal point in the kitchen, so I am going matte black with it, grey cabinets, white quartz countertops, and antique brass hardware. Good luck!...See MoreHanging pendant lights from pitched ceiling over off center island
Comments (1)I have a 10 ft island that is placed off center and perpendicular to the pitch ceiling of my kitchen. There is a beam running the length of the ceiling at the apex. To hang 3 pendants centered over the island, one of the pendants has to be hung from the other side of the beam. Is this ok? I haven't been able to find any pictures online to help. Thanks!...See MoreOff centre kitchen island
Comments (4)Wait, why can it not be centered over the island? Not that it's the right fixture... It's way too big for the majority of the space under the 8' ceiling, but almost anything can be placed almost anywhere....See MoreUser
