Choosing the Perfect Kitchen Island Pendants

Size and Scale Considerations

The dimensions of your island should guide your pendant selection:

• For longer islands, 3-5 pendants create balanced illumination
  

• Allow 30-40 cm between pendants for visual harmony
  

• Hang pendants 75-90 cm above the island surface for optimal lighting without obstruction
