A pendant that's too small can get lost in the space, while one that's too large can overwhelm it. So, how do you find the perfect fit?
π‘ ABOVE A DINING TABLE
As a general guideline, choose a pendant that's approximately half to two-thirds the width of your table. This helps create a balanced look without overpowering your dining area.
π‘ ABOVE A KITCHEN ISLAND
Consider the length of your island and the number of pendants you'd like to install. Whether you choose one statement piece or multiple smaller pendants, proper spacing makes all the difference!
π‘ FOR OPEN SPACES
Take your ceiling height, room size and surrounding furniture into account. Larger spaces can accommodate bolder fittings, while smaller areas often benefit from more compact designs.
OUR TIP: Don't choose a pendant based on looks alone. The right proportions, hanging height and light output are just as important as the design.
