A few guidelines to keep in mind:
💡 Pendant size: For most kitchen islands, look for pendants around 12–20” wide. Larger islands and open-concept spaces can often handle 20–30”+ fixtures.
📏 Height: Hang the bottom of your pendants approximately 30–36” above the countertop.
↔️ Spacing: Aim for roughly 24–30” between pendants, adjusting based on the size of the fixtures and island.
✨ 2 vs. 3 pendants: Don’t choose the number first. Start with the scale of the island and the fixture, then determine how many you need to create an evenly balanced look.
And remember: these are guidelines, not hard rules. Ceiling height, sightlines, fixture shape, and the overall scale of the room all play a part.
