Kitchens Design Dilemma Lighting

pendants over island help

5 years ago

I have a 114x63 sized island. I bought an earth and fire arabesque pendant with 17x17x17 dimensions. My designer wants to put three in the space. I am concerned that this pendant might be too big to fit three in the space. Will two look okay? 17 seems right in between not big enough for two but too big for three.

I would do only 2. My island is 5'x8' and has 2 black pendants approx. the same size as yours. 3 would overwhelm the space.

If you think they are too big, the same pendant comes in 12” size size. Capital Lighting Sedona. We’re using them in our new covered screen porch.

I personally like two best. My island is 10 foot and doing two 20 inch pendants. IMO, the less stuff hanging from the ceiling the better. Too much obstructs the view and looks cluttered.
