Lighting Design Dilemma Kitchens

Help coordinating kitchen island pendants and nook area light.

3 years ago

We’re working on our kitchen renovation and need help with the pendant lights and kitchen nook lights. We are replacing the current ones. I attached a foto of the pendant lights we’d like to go with. We‘re having a hard time deciding on the kitchen nook area lights. We will also be replacing the table & chairs. Does is have to be bigger, smaller or same size as pendant lights? Also are these size pendant lights a good option. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks ahead.

The size seems fine but we'd need a width of the island to be 100%. Over the kitchen nook, I'd use something different but has the same feel. The size coordinates, not to the other pendants, but to the table. A 6 ft table would look odd with a 15 inch pendant nor should a chandelier be larger/wider than the table.

"A good rule of thumb is that chandelier is one-half to three-quarters the width of your table." This is only 26" but wonder what you think? https://www.houzz.com/products/trilogy-brushed-nickel-prvw-vr~65234353

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.

Island is 94"x 41" and ceiling height is 9 ft.

Table is 48 in. This set will be replaced as well (the idea is to get something with a combination of white and brushed nickel or stainless still but same size).
