these 3 pendants are over a 7'x3' island, the island can be seen in other pics of the kitchen. I would need to know the width and length of your island. If its wide you should go with bigger lights. If its long and narrow, you should go with smaller and more lights. Keep in mind if its to bright you can install a dimmer.

4'5" x 4' 75" Thank you.

I was thinking about the 8.5" Pottery barn glass pendant like these over the island. I love the larger size but I don't want to overpower my space. I am also putting one over the kitchen sink and then need to find a complimentary chandelier to match over the breakfast nook table. My table is 36" round expands to oval shape with leaf-but ultimately hope to get a farm table, smaller size since the nook sits right on the other side of the island.

Hi loreleem, I think 2 large pendants is to much for your square footage (island top). I mean that it would take up too much space. If you like the large pendant I would center one pendant. Otherwise 2 smaller pendants would fit nicer in the space. It would also double your wattage (60 watts each for both small and large pendants) which would be better because this island looks like it will be used for preparing food. the same with the sink I would go with the smaller pendant.

Thank you. You have been so helpful.

Hello, Shannon Cabinetry. I love these Pottery Barn pendants, too! My question also deals with whether to use the large or small size. My island is 80" long and 48" wide. The sink is slightly off-center on the 80" side, flanked by dishwasher and 15" trash cabinet. The surface opposite the sink will be used for casual dining. What size and number pendants do you recommend? My concern is how to make sure there is enough lighting for both sides if the pendants are centered over the island. The island is centered between two walls that have appliances and upper/lower cabinets. Thank you for your help.
