Pendant light size for eat in kitchen table
Comments (1)For over your table, measure the width or diameter of the surface in inches. Then subtract 12 from that number. That's the maximum limit for the width or diameter of a hanging light in inches. (Info source) One larger pendant over the table would be an excellent choice....See MorePendant lighting size for kitchen island
Comments (16)Thank you, but I don't consider it a poor design. It's what I wanted and what will fit in the space allowed. What you all don't realize is that it is an L shaped in-law apartment above a garage in my daughter's house. I have no need for a stove, I don't cook much. Portable devices are fine for me and if I want to do anythinig else I can just run downstairs to my daughter's kitchen. I would only put 2 seats there anyway, and if that's not comfortable, I only NEED one for ME. And yes, that is not the question. I just want to know if the lights I picked are too big. I've seen plenty of pictures on this website with large pendants over small spaces. So, general concensus.. yes 3 lights will look fine or no they are too big... simple, no? And the 3 holes/connections have all ready been put in the ceiling for the lights. It's a plaster ceiling so I will be sticking with 3 lights. I'll just pick something out that is smaller in width & length....See MoreWhat size pendant lights over 9x3' kitchen island?
Comments (1)Kelley - you’ll probably get lots of input here :) - my island is 5x10 (so a bit wider and a tad bit longer) but my pendants are “tiny” - but they’re our style (modern) and I’m sure some would say they’re too small. I say pick what you like!...See Morependant lighting size for kitchen island
Comments (6)Agree with Joy. You need fixtures that are 14-16” wide. Frosted glass or open lanterns work well in most settings. Clear glass is hard to keep looking clean in kitchens. It would help to see more of your kitchen. Here are some that might appeal....See MoreMarni Noyman
