Lighting help!

11 years ago

Hi Linda. I would like to use the Benson pendants in my new kitchen renovation. The island is 7 x 3 and the countertop is 7 x 4. Do I go with two or three 13 inch? Or three 7 inch? Can you recommend spacing? Thanks so much!!!

We would suggest two 13” pendants. Good luck.

I love the look of these pendants over my island, but what type of lighting would I put in over the table in the eating area? My kitchen is transitional , leaning toward modern.

We like the juxtaposition of the sleek industrial feel of these lights and something that is softer. In this particular home, we used a wood and iron chandelier from Aidan Gray over the breakfast table. Good luck!

Linda, any chance you can tell me the name of the exact chandelier you used?
