These should work just fine, you will have about 4' spacing between the lights.

I'm not good with telling sizes unless I see your space. Good thing there are people like Sativa McGhee (above) to give that advice. The lights are so beautiful, though, I think I'd have to MAKE them work. ;-) Lovely choice!

for reference: this is a 3x10 island with three pendants @ 3' spacing.

This is a 45"x8' island with a larger 30" rectangle pendant (essentially you pendants would each start where this one ends.)

You know it's enough lights if you can see what you are doing at dusk and dawn? The globes with their white cover will limit the amount of actual light, unless that is open right in the center of that lowest perimeter circle? The nice thing about your choice, the lights will be down on the surface, not shining in someone's eyes across the space! I think 2 lights is adaquate, it's enough to dust, and you won't do brain surgery there. Thanks for this post!

To jkm6712: I'm considering a house plan that would have a similar layout for kitchen and entryways to other rooms. If you don't mind me asking, what are the dimensions of your kitchen area?

Love those lights! Can you share a link to them?

I moved in last week, so I just saw your questions. Daniel F - the kitchen is 19' wide, 13'11" deep, with a 5' bump out for the breakfast nook. (Excuse the boxes and mis-matched furniture!) Ceilings are 9'.

Hi there! How are you finding your island size? We are contemplating a 8’ 3”x 4’3” island and curious if it’s too wide or a good size?

Hi Michelle,

This thread has had no action in two years; it is unlikely you will get an answer this way. Although only two days old, your comment is already 5 pages back, because there is so much posting here.

The best thing is to begin a new thread asking about the size you are considering. Be sure to give more details, the size and layout of the kitchen, etc. so the good people who answer will already have that info and be able to answer more quickly and accurately instead of having to ask you (which will add to the time for you to get answers) or say 'it depends; give us more information.'

The other reason to begin a new thread is that the current one asks about the size of the island lights. I think you are asking about the practicality of the size of island itself you are considering. Anyone searching for a thread on your topic would not find it easily because it is a different topic than the original one.

A new thread would allow you to get answers tailored to your question and situation. That would be most helpful for you when trying to make decisions. It would also help others who want to know! I hope that makes some sense.

Hi again,

I just saw you DID begin a new thread Kitchen Island Size? and already have 25 responses! Glad you're getting the help you wanted.
