Pendant lighting over an island
Comments (9)Hi plevels, In addition to hand-building copper lantern, pendants, and iron chandeliers, Bevolo also sells some vintage/new lighting pieces. We also offer a complementary design service and can scale out the proper size fixtures for your rooms, based on your ceiling height/table dimensions. Let us know if we can help you at all. Happy decorating! -Lindsey @ Bevolo Dome pendant: Athena Pendant:...See MoreKitchen recessed lighting & island pendant lighting placement ideas
Comments (1)I don't have pendents or recessed lighting - so no help there, but if you don't have under cabinet lighting, add that to your list. My under cabinet lighting is the most helpful lighting I have. At a guess, I would say 2 pendants over the island, but your lighting store should also be able to help you. It depends on what you use and if your recessed lights light up the island - then pendants aren't necessary. Change out the track light over the sink for sure....See MoreHeight of pendant lights over an island?
Comments (21)Flo - I wish it was just the light itself...we renovated our kitchen. It was connected to 2 family rooms. Almost fully open to a small family room on one side, and a small doorway (32” opening) on the other side. We are a family of 5 and no one ever used the larger family room bc of that small opening. It seemed cut off from the rest of the house. We opened up that side, added a breakfast part and stools so it’s now a useable part of the house. We hired a kitchen designer. That was our mistake. He did a great job with the kitchen...but we needed someone to look at the big picture. I started to realize this after it was too late. Everything was going in. I kept thinking I’ll find a way to pull it together when the kitchen’s done and yesterday when I put the 2nd light up I realized how hard it will be ... I am in way over my head. It’s a very long open space. Open floor plan gone badly. I’m beside myself. I need to now just focus on finishing the last few details in the kitchen and bring in some different interior decorators, designers ... I’m not sure what - to figure out how to fix this....See MoreMy pendant lights placements is off centered
Comments (0)HELP please... Placements of the pendants..... The pendants are not centered with the island. I have two options from our builder: Move the left one further out to match with the location of the right (closer to the edge of the island). Doing this would not space out evenly over the whole island because there would be more open space between the two pendants lights. Move both pendants over to the left to centered over the entire island? Doing this would make the right one be very close to the recessed light. oh, but I have some people advice to remove that one middle recessed light (I think it would probably look best), but my husband and I are not ready to lose a light right now....See MorePipdog
