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.

What size pendants for a 10 ft kitchen island?

8 years ago

I am looking at the Hudson Valley Glendale pendant. It comes in 3 sizes. What size would you recommend for a 10ft island using 2 pendants? I want a oversize look but not too big.


Large 20.25" width x 38.25" height

Medium 16.25" width x 30" height

Small 12.25" width x 24.75 height

    ASSUMING a nine foot ceiling ? These are not for you unless you do three small!....... Why? With the medium @ 16 x 30. With both BOXES set in 24 inches from island ends, you will have 40 inches between the glass on the two when hanging, and 24 inches from glass to counter end on both ENDS of counter top. Great! But due to fixture height of 30", you will see NO chain if as you need a 36" clearance bottom of fixture to counter top, and the canopy on the fixture is 6" ! There's your 108!

    You'd be far better off with THREE of the small. Or a ten foot ceiling. Or..........a different selection altogether.

    You don't need full scale models......it's math. If it's a remodel with an eight foot ceiling the answer is NO to the fixture. Period.
