Q: How many pendant lights do I need?

A: Many people assume there is a ‘Rule of Three’, but that’s not set in stone.

Above an island or dining table, three pendants can look stunning. Odd numbers are often more pleasing to the eye.

However, it depends on the size of the island or table. Two large pendants can look fabulous, or even five suspended above a very long dining table.

Q: Which style of pendant light should I choose for my kitchen?

A: It makes sense to opt for glass or metal pendant lights for a kitchen, as they’re much easier to clean than fabric, but these are available in a multitude of colours and designs.

Clear glass is elegant and timeless. Coloured glass can add a pop of intensity to match a colour in your wall covering, cabinetry or crockery, or to clash and make a statement.

Industrial pendant lights might be antique brass, which would suit a classic kitchen, chrome which would enhance a modern or minimalist area, or copper, which adds warmth.

What size should pendant lights be?

There’s a huge range of pendant sizes available. Ultimately, your decision will come down to the size of your room, the size of the area over which they’ll be suspended, and the style you’re drawn to.

TIP:
Cut out circles of newspaper to the diameter of the pendants you are thinking about and put them on the island or table surface. Then look back from a distance and it will give you a good idea whether they are too small or too large or too close together

Rise and Fall Lighting....

Yes, it's quite retro, but if you choose a perfectly weighted fixture that can be moved with a finger tip you’ll realise why these lights were once so popular!

The ability to vary the height of your pendants is extremely useful. Rise and Fall lights take task lighting to the next level, and create intimacy for dining.

These Elstead 'Provence' Rise and Fall Lights are available in Aged Brass, Old Bronze, Polished Copper and Polished Nickel

Q: How high (or low) should pendant lights be?

A: This isn’t as difficult to work out as you might think. Think about the surface you’re highlighting rather than your ceiling height, and as a general rule, make sure the pendants are 75-90cm (30-36 inches) above it.

Tip: If you have a very tall ceiling, a double height barn conversion for example, always check with your supplier that extra cable can be supplied.

You can see that these contemporary EBB & FLOW Rowan and Horizon pendants suit a more rustic space perfectly!
