There is no "size rule", but there are good principles for both proportion and for illumination. Some folks like "decorative" light fixtures, sometimes called chandeliers. Some folks, like me, don't like light fixture which call attention to themselves and attempt to dominate a space. Pendants can be large, complex and visually strong...or they can be small, simple and unobtrusive. Pendants can be clear and transparent, or they can be metallic and opaque. Thus, it's virtually impossible for anyone here to give you a definitive answer to your question, especially without seeing your house, the interior space and furnishings. If you are having trouble figuring out all of this, why don't you pay a designer for an hour's time and help you select pendants which will be workable and in good taste for the style of architecture of your house?

Hello everyone!! I NEED HELP!!! I purchased 2 Duke Oversized Pendants (16 inch overall diameter) in 2020 on Pottery Barn site. They make my whole kitchen!! The glass on one of them broke and Pottery Barn site says No Longer available! Ive been in tears for weeks!!! Can anyone tell me where I can find one of these?? My email is ginamt2@yahoo.com. Thank you for any help you can give! Ive attached a pic of the pendant and one of my kitchen so you can see the beautiful lights above my island!

There is no rule as to how many pendants you should have . I would suggest first finding the pendant that you like and then decide depending on the pendant chosen. Question is why do you think you need brass lamps ? What is the overall design of your home ?

Sorry about that. These are all 10-13". I like the second one too. I really like #3 but it is from Restoration Hardware and it's super expensive!
