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.

    Hi Suzanne! Great question. Here are tips on pendants from our guide to the right size lighting:

    Find the maximum width/diameter for pendants to go over your island by measuring the width of the island in inches and subtracting 12.

    We recommend spacing pendants 2 feet apart over an island, so you could easily do something like 4 (or even 5!) smaller pendants or 3 larger pendants, one of which could be placed over the attached table.

    You can also find advice about hanging heights in the article linked above--let me know if you have further questions!
