Pendant lighting placement over kitchen island
Comments (0)Hi everyone, I've been a long time lurker and occasional poster on this site and always find excellent suggestions here. I was wondering if I could have some advice on where to place pendant lighting over our kitchen island (with raised breakfast bar area). We ordered 3 pendant lights but am not sure where we should hang them. I'm attaching a link to the floor plan of my kitchen for reference. The island is sort of a stretched L-shape, so the placement is causing us some confusion. Specific questions I have are: 1) Do you center the lights over the work/prep area or over the raised bar area? 2) How high to do you hang the lights (how much space between counter/bar and bottom of light?) 3) Do we spread the lights out or have a closer grouping of 3 lights on one side of the l-shape? If the shorter grouping, which side - sink side or the other side? 4)How far apart do you place the pendants? Thanks so much in advance!

Comments (59)With a higher ceiling height, I think I would lean to the larger size. Despite the size of your island, I would worry that the smaller would look wimpy. Unless (like Michele mentioned), you went with three lights. Again, take my vote for what its worth, I obviously favor the bigger since that is what I did, but think it will look just fine either way. Isn't it odd there there is nothing in the middle....it is either 8" or 11". I guess the story of a remodel though...you can envision it yet can't find it, or you find it and it is out of your price range! And yes, now I can't imagine having my kitchen with what I orginally wanted either. I was thinking I wanted to match the stainless and pulls, but I do like how the current lights tie with the cabinets. The ORB was one of the several fortunate last minute decisions that I made!...See MorePlease Help with kitchen pendants over island
Comments (5)When you say Change the hardware, do you mean the cabinet hardware? Since this picture has been taken, we now have under counter lighting which has made a huge improvement and also cabinet lighting in the top little cabinets. We are expanding and adding a new large family room directly off the kitchen. Since the ceiling is vaulted, (12’) I would like to add a central light fixture. I was considering this one, hence the reason to change the current kitchen island fixtures to gold. I thought by changing the island fixtures, it would tie into the large room being added. Additionally, there will be another dining area added, with a harvest table and I was considering this fixture over the harvest table. The picture below is showing different light bulb options. Edison led bulbs will probably be selected. Thoughts?...See MoreWhich pendants over 9ft island with 9ft ceilings
Comments (8)Thanks for the quick replies! Here are the pictures of the lights. Im not sure I have a look I’m going for, but I have looked at thousands of lights and these are the ones I liked. I want it to feel homey, but also pretty and I think the kitchen needs a pop that the lights can provide. I thought either of these would be good but when I realized how wide the Minka light is and how long the hvl esopus is, I realized I could use some help....See MoreRelated Professionals
