dining room Home Decorating Lighting

linear pendent (36/40in) over table

4 years ago

last modified: 4 years ago

I am looking for a linear pending light at least 8 feet long on a sloped ceiling, it will go over my dining room table. I live in Tahoe so it needs to be a little rustic/modern bronze colors would be perfect but I can’t seem to find anything and I also need something to go over my granite island which is right near the table

Good Luck, most vendors aren't going to carry something that long, I would be looking at custom local shops to create you something. Why does it need to be 8 foot? Can you do two instead of one long one? Have you looked into using rail lighting and dropping pendants off that? How tall are your ceilings maybe and oversized chandelier could work... Seeing photos would really help.

Davidtay Thanks! Hadn't thought of that. It wouldn't provide the directed light we dream of, but it would take care of general light above the table.

Linear layout vs. 'cook's triangle'

I think that unless you move the doorway over, the new island might just funnel people closer to the cooking between the island and range rather than around the other side of the island because the direct path from the door to the kitchen table goes that way. The current arrangement at least influences them to walk more diagonally across the kitchen. If you got rid of the cabinets on the L wall between the kitchen and the living dining area and moved the doorway over to the left, opening the fridge wouldn't block the doorway. The island could be made somewhat longer which would replace some of the storage and counter removed from the L wall and mixing bowls and other items you need for cooking could be in the island closer to where they are needed and where they are washed. With the new doorway location, people would be directed to the non-cooking side of the island. I'd also suggest a small prep sink on the end of that longer island near the fridge which would make a separate zone for you to do some cook prep while your husband is using the main sink for clean up or other prep. Plumbing to the island is more expense, but IMO it will be worth it with that layout. Do you ever eat on that deck? Have you thought of doing a pass through window over the counter to the deck?

Yes, where you see the bulb hanging down in the nook is what I'm shopping for. I'm thinking a diameter between 15-20" for a light over the table. The table that will be going there will likely be rectangle measuring somewhere around 34-36"x42" A chair on each end of the table.
