Kitchen pendant lighting - island, dining table or both?

2 years ago

last modified: 2 years ago

Hi. We’re struggling to agree on lighting for our new kitchen that will be fitted in the new year.

We plan to have spot lights. If we were to add pendant lighting would you add it to the dining table, island or both? Bonus points for actual pendant suggestions! Thanks.

Updated to say: the table will sit next to the island but is not fixed.

Can you space 3 so it covers island and table?

Will the table be fixed to the island? Or are you likely to move it about? I’d suggest a track pendant fixture as it gives you flexibility with light placement.

Hi caroljchapman49 Our Brooklyn 3 Light Pendant Bar - Satin Chrome could be a great choice, the diameter of a single shade is 20,5 cm and the overall length of the fitting is 80 cm. The height can be adjusted to suit your needs. Hope this helps and if you have any questions feel free to contact us by emailing customerservice@litecraft.co.uk or by calling 0161 359 4777 Kind Regards, Litecraft Team

Kitchen Island - how many pendant lights and spacing?
Q

Over a 1.6 mtr Island I would go for just the 2 as there is no Appliances in it spacing should be approx. 900mm centre to centre which would give 350mm centre to edge of island. the 3 pendants look good over the table but 3 might be a bit busy over an Island, one other thing to consider tho is the output of each light and if low output then maybe 3 could be better but without that information it is a bit hit and miss. Do you have downlights too , all these various elements go to towards the spread of light , so very little shadowing is best.

It really depends on how high your ceilings are and the type of look you are going for. Will they make a statement or are they purely functional? I'd usually go for pendants with fixed shades because I'm usually committing to a style and I've chosen something I truly love. However, you can get some beautiful glass shades from places like made.com . Industrial style pendants from https://www.industville.co.uk/collections/ceiling-lights-lampshades Or something elegant from https://idyllhome.co.uk/collections/pendant-light - I hope this helps.

Daisy - we could do, all the same height?

Wumi - the table isn’t fixed, it might move but not far. i dodny know track pendants existed so will definitely have a look.

I’ve spotted the ’rise and fall’ fixtures. I thought that might work - one over each and then we could lower when eating at the dining table?
