The holiday season is the get-together time with family and friends. While a kitchen is the hub of the home, a kitchen island is where people hang out and have fun most of the time since it’s casual and relaxing to just sit around it to carry on a conversation. That being said, the stylish kitchen island pendents not only keep your countertop and food well-lit but will also elevate your entertaining game for the holiday season in a stylish way.
Regarding to the kitchen island lighting, there is one of the questions our clients often ask is that “how many pendants should I hang over my kitchen island?”
It depends on the size of your island, but a good guideline is to ensure there’s about 30” of space separating each pendant from its widest part. Also, measure the distance from the bottom of your pendant to the surface of the island. We recommend 30” to 36”.
