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.

Pendant Lights - what is the right size?

11 years ago
Love these Sloan Street lights but not sure if too big for my needs. 8 foot ceilings. Island measures 9ft by 3 1/2 ft. We would be putting in 3 of these....

    The ceilings in this kitchen are 8 ft and the island is just over 9' long and just over 4' wide. We could have added a third but opted not as we have a chandelier over table that is centered between the pendants....so two made more sense for this particular project. Hope this helps.

    Thank you for responding!! Given the diameter of the shade how far apart should they be? Feel like our electrical boxes are too tight?
