Need a complementary pendent light for over the sink, does this work?

8 years ago

Ughhhhh, I am struggling with finding a small pendent light to put over my sink that will complement the lights I chose for my kitchen / dining area. Has anyone worked with the lights that might have a suggestion? The first ceiling mounted light will almost be directly across from the pendent light that will go over the sink. Do any of these 4 pendents in the second photo work?

Thank you in advance!

Pendant lights do not belong over a sink. I would put recessed task lighting over a sink and save the pendant lights for over an island or peninsula. And no, I don't think any of those pendant lights go with that chandelier.

Although I love your lighting that you currently have, I don't think any of the pendants you chose will work with them. Keep the pendant light very simple-maybe even looking at a small flush mount or semi flush mount light that is simple in styling. Hope this helps!
