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.

How many lights...

7 years ago

We are building a house. Kitchen will have an island that is 114” x 48” (about 10’x4’). Ceilings are 9’. This is open concept so kitchen/dining/family rooms are all one open room (total area is 24 ‘wide by by about 33’ long). I’m looking at three different style lights to hang over the island. Island will be 37” tall I believe.

One is 16” wide x 23” tall (lantern style). Second is 13” wide x23” tall (also lantern style). Third is 24” wide x 24” tall (globe style). How many would you hang? Two or three? Anyone think the lanterns are too tall given my ceiling height? Thanks is advance for your help!
