Kitchen Pendants- Which pendant light for this kitchen?

Comments (13)@ levy, It is math hon. Second fixture( Home Depot ) Lets assume the attachment uses 5" , the fixture itself is 12 inches, and there are three 12 inch stems and you use one. Add it up. That's 29 inches. Now add the 36 to the counter, and the 36 that IS the counter height. ....101" Ten more inches than you HAVE, floor to ceiling, unless you use no stem at all.. So I would get thee to a Home Depot, and see in person if you are determined to have three, and make sure of total and how you will HANG it. Either find the electrician with a threading tool, or get TWO of the 13" emery......at least you will have a couple 6" rods Here are THE SPECS/INSTALLATION /LINK to Emery https://www.quoizel.com/media/catalog/product/attachments/instruction_sheet/IS-ER1814_30.pdf No......you should not do three of EMERY. NO.no. no. Not even on 85 inches of counter. Look at my photo above. Those are 14" diameter with two over an 84 inch dining table...See Moreany photos of 18" pendant(s) in kitchen with 8' ceilings?
Comments (7)I cant believe you just commented on this chris. I was actually searching for similar photos/threads last night and found one threat that was several years old where you had posted that photo and I liked the look of your pendants but didnt know how low they were hanging. I was going to comment and ask how long they were but it was a long thread, a few years old, and you only posted once in the middle of it so I figured it was a waste of time. I am concerned that 26" is too low since they will be in my sightline but thanks very much for jumping in!...See MoreAre these Pendant lights too big?
Comments (15)Pakmount, I get it, these pendants will be a style statement that affects your whole kitchen. That said, I can’t recommend a precise fixture since I can’t tell what style your house is, how far apart the fixtures have been roughed in, and the other metal finish selections in your new kitchen. I will say from my own kitchen; steer away from clear glass and open bulb fixtures. They are a nightmare to keep clean. I will clean mine (take down the globes, wash them in hot soapy water, dry them, put them back up) and they only stay pretty for about 1 week. Cooking oils + dust + clear glass = no fun. Also, the more pendants you have, the simpler they should be. Try to think if it as an art installation that will provide the surface of your island with some needed task lighting. If you have proper coverage with can lights around the room, these pendants don’t need to shine light all around the room. Type in “cone pendant” “globe pendant” into Houzz kitchens....See More- 5 years ago

Considering your sink is in the island, you probably do lots of prep work, dishes, etc., there. I prefer pendant lights that provide down lighting so I can see while I'm working on those tasks at hand, like these...

I also like a pretty fixture over the dining table for ambient lighting and to define the space. Maybe something that echoes the length of your table with a linen shade for some softness...

PRO5 years agoHello - I think adding fixtures always brings a nice touch to your space especially for how open it is. It gives it a nice visual when you look in that direction. You have a very nice set up to go very transitional/clean lines and with color if you want to. I would start you off with something simple and see if you like it. If you had certain color hardware finish i would go off of that but everything looks like it is silver/chrome. So a bronze/black finish is a nice neutral to go with. See my examples below. For size wise for the fixtures, it will all depend on the size of your table and your island. Good luck!

PRO5 years agoIMO, your room has all for a good style, the tileson kitchen's wall, the cjmbination of wooden and navy colors in furniture, and pendants would add a final touch and complete the view. I would prefer these well-known pendants, I mean shapes. And also I proposed Tom Dixon's designs to make a space "on the edge" design, very stylish. I have a good feeling from island color, and dark chairs sing their song with darker pendants. What do You tthink? Regards!
