Need help with lighting fixture over eat-in kitchen table
Just finished kitchen update. Included rotating island with counter overhand for future stools and 2 pendants overhead. I'm afraid I was premature in going with the double 8" dia pendants over island because they are such a focal point of kitchen and I still need something over my kitchen table that will not conflict or compete. Was originally planning on something complimentary, but not matching since matching is typically rather predictable. However, I'm wondering if I should go with a matching but larger 13" diameter pendant for over my kitchen table rather than a something that has too much contrast. Ideas?

for instance, look at these two kitchens w/diff lights
they both work
for yours, you could try something like these

Need fixture help for vaulted ceiling over kitchen table
Comments (1)Our kitchen has vaulted ceiling also, but not that high over the table, so we have a hanging fixture. We have a recessed light that illuminates the other side of the kitchen, where the ceiling is pretty high. It provides ambient light to that side of the room, but if our table were under it, I don't think it would throw off the right kind of light. If I were you, I would reconsider putting a hanging fixture over the table. If you're concerned that a 14-foot chain might not look right, go to a good light fixture store and browse through some catalogues. You'll get good ideas on how to deal with your issue....See MoreNeed serious help with lighting over kitchen table!

Comments (9)We are using three pendants over our kitchen table, with one larger one and two smaller either side (they are all those adjustable height PB Porter pendants, so we can play with raising and lowering to suit the occasion/table expansion/etc). Maybe the differing sizes/heights would help distract from Yet More Pendants? I remember in England it was quite common to have hanging fixtures which were then looped up again and reattached to the ceiling a little distance away from their original fixture site, presumably to allow flexibility in where the light was centered over time? I tried to do a search for a picture to better explain, but in so doing stumbled across this site below with lots of options similar to the sample you show above... is Mission your style by any chance?? I think you will find a creative solution which you may end up liking even more than your original plan - some of the quirks end up being the favourites, don't you find?!

Comments (4)Wow--you all are fast! The style is pretty contemporary, but having said that, I don't want anything that looks super modern or "techie" (if that makes sense). And I'm looking for something with 2 or 3 lights, not a single round fixture. Thanks for all of the ideas teacats--the 3 light one is almost what I want......See Moresuezbell
