My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

I keep going back to look at this beautiful kitchen. Just wondered what you would recommend - 2 or 3 13" Benson pendants for island approx 9'x3' and the placement of the pendants. Thank you.

    The choice to use 2 or 3 pendants typically depends upon how wide your pendants are and whether or not you want them to be the focal point of the room. Without knowing the details of your kitchen, we recommended two because it would likely make your space feel light and airy, like the kitchen pictured.

      Hi Linda, my island is 60 X 36, is it suitable to use 2

      11" harmon pendants?

      Two may be a bit much for an island of those dimensions.

      Agree with Linda. If you like the look of benson-style pendants, for that size island you can go with two smaller ones - these are 8" and would scale better with that size island:

      You have a island longer than one in pic. So go 3 same size. Hang as in picture. Hang middle one in center of island. The hang others. Do not go pass island length.

      Hi Linda - Thanks for all your help. I'm confused by your recommendation of 2 pendants for the 9" island. The island in the picture is 8'3" and uses 3 13" pendants. Why do you recommend 2 13" pendants for a larger island?

      Thanks! That makes sense.
