Need help - pendant lighting size and cord length - sale through 3/7
Comments (18)I like that mock-up. That looks great Rebunky. I just made a "Globe Pendant" IdeaBook on Houzz hoping to find an island Erica's size & specific globe pendants sizes. So frustrating, as either the island size wasn't listed or the pendant size wasn't listed. While I was doing that, you made that great mock-up. I really like the two pics of the black island kitchen you posted earlier and the mock-up looks very much like that size & spacing. The outer pendants might be able to move just a tiny bit closer (a smidge) to the edge of the counter. edit: based on the mock-up, 14" pendants?...See MoreShould I buy 2 or 3 of these pendants for my kitchen island?
Comments (17)Yes, because they are solid, and you island is only nine feet long, and because they are EACH 18 inches wide and three will be overwhelming and a visual blocking mass. And because I do this stuff every single day for a living : ) ? and I'd not let you buy a third. And you will HATE three of them? Your inspiration photo isn't lying......that's roughly "nine and a little" feet you are seeing, and I can tell because of the counter chairs. Using just two will be plenty o impact.Here are two, very OPEN and airy on nine feet x 4 feet, and they are 12 inches wide and 14 high. Not the best angle.....but they were plenty I assure you If you are stuck on three..go DOWN in size To "Ziggy" from Arteriors. and do three nine inch x 12 inch Or do the WIDE "ziggy" at 13 inches.........and three ( below)...See MorePendant Lighting Help! 2 or 3?
Comments (1)It looks like you will also have another hanging fixture over a table near the island. I might use two instead of three for that reason since they are fairly large. Hang a piece of paper in the size and shape of the lights from a string taped to the ceiling. That allows you to step back and see how you like the spacing. If your sink is centered in the island though, you may want 3 to have enough light. The ceiling lights seem fairly minimal for a kitchen. If the sink is off center, as it appears, 2 lights evenly spaced on the sides of the sink might be better than 3....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 MoreLevy Rodriguez
