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.

Pendant lighting and your Professional opinion

5 years ago
Message
Hello and thank you in advance for your time,
I'm currently remodeling my kitchen 258" X 240" with an additional section for refr/freezer of 67" X 127". My island is 61' X 128" BUT our ceiling height is 8 feet.
What are you professional recommendations on pendant lighting dimensions over the island?

    Keep the light fixtures just above the top of your head (or Hubby’s head) when you are wearing your usual shoes....you don’t want to be looking at the bottom edge of the fixtures while prepping meals.
    I’m not a Pro, but I have designed four kitchens for our homes over the years.
