Pick A Pendant!
Houzzers. Finally found black pendant large enough for our 130” x 42” island (26”W x 22”H Monster!). We need TWO. High Gloss Black ($199) or Graphite ($329)? Reviews say Graphite is Medium-Dark Gray. My dream light is in Matte Dark Black but it doesn’t exist here and I’ve been looking for pendants for months. Note: High Gloss saves me about $300 if I order today but is it too shiny with all the high gloss white cabinets? Barn door handle, pantry door knob and hinges all in matte black. See pendant pics and last one of my new kitchen. Note: A 36”Wide matte black/brushed nickel Sputnick pendant going over the soon-to-be dining table. Please advise!! Thx!! https://www.cb2.com/capitol-large-shiny-black-bell-pendant-light/s210263#modal

Can you help me pick out pendants to go with this chandelier?
Comments (13)Thank you all for the great ideas! Not ready to post a pic of my space - somewhat hesitant as I dont feel it's camera ready yet. I go back and forth on whether or not I want to keep with the candle theme; Hubbardton Forge makes a matching 3 candle mini chandelier but it is over $400 and I would need two of them. But then would it all be too matchy-matchy? Maybe a pair of glass pendants IS the way to go. I find myself becoming inexplicably cheap as this process goes on...why can't I find something I like for $100? I am so tired of spending money and making decisions. But, I keep telling myself that we are in the homestretch so don't wimp out now!! I just so badly want it all to be DONE....See MorePick new pendants for this peninsula for me?
Comments (36)Glad you like it, it was on my main Houzz feed and I thought of your kitchen right away. It has the same 'feel' to me. I found it a bit cheaper on this site: A & B Home Harper Pendant $136 They say its 20.9" long and 12.6 inches wide. I like it with the new stools because, again, it shares a rustic french country feel in my eyes. I think they definitely would look good together and with the kitchen as a whole. But only you can decide whether these pendants work with the stools and/or the sink light. They're far enough apart but the styles seem different. Is the sink a schoolhouse? Since the sink light is so neutral and simple, a pretty 'working' light, I could definitely live with it....See MoreHelp me pick some pendant lights
Comments (2)To your question about the pendants in relation to hanging from the track, Yes you can order any line voltage pendant, preferably on cord or chain, the rods make it a bit more challenging as to the adapter. They make about 3 kinds of adapters for track pendants depending on what you need. As to placement, because you have track it actually allows you to move them to whatever area you would like them to be in. Looks like tho you have lots of directional light, you could you some light directly over that counter so it might be nice to get something that is functional as well. at first, I thought clear glass but in the style, you would like it would either be glary or not give you any light. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Galaxy-Lighting-Linear-Pendant-Adapter/1000730974 http://www.goldenlighting.com/3602-Duncan-PW-Small-Pendant-with-ChainPewter-with-Shade-3602-S-PW-PW...See Moreplease help me pick a pendant
Comments (14)I know you're not asking this, but are those pendants 100% set in stone? Your kitchen looks like a blank slate, which means you can go pretty big and dramatic with your island lighting. Something with a little more "oomph" to it. If you are really loving those pendants I would go silver and 13", and look for other ways to add warmth with your styling, perhaps swapping out the stools for cognac leather instead. Something rich like that would pair beautifully with your backsplash and help to ground the space, keeping it from feeling too grey/ cold...See MoreV K

3 years agoThis type of light fixture focuses light down on the surface. You’ll get very little ambient lighting from it. If you like the bell shape, there are many other options. If you want an opaque pendant, at least consider one with a diffuser.

3 years agoI have the charcoal one in my dining room. The light only shines down so I would not choose to use this in my kitchen. This one doesn’t show much dust and I agree that the shiny one would show dust very easily. Here it is on in my dining room with the two recessed lights on as well
