Why pendant lighting works so well: pendant lights hang down into the space, allowing light to be directed exactly where it’s needed. This makes them ideal for task lighting over kitchen islands, ambient lighting over dining tables, or statement lighting in foyers and entryways.
Styles and finishes: our pendant collection includes modern, transitional, farmhouse, and industrial designs in finishes such as matte black, satin nickel, polished chrome, brushed brass, and bronze. This makes it easy to coordinate pendants with your cabinet hardware, faucets, and other lighting fixtures.
Planning tips: pendants look best when sized and spaced correctly. Many homeowners choose multiple pendants in a row over islands or counters, or a single larger pendant as a focal point over a table or in an entryway.
What are pendant light fixtures commonly used for?
Pendant lights are commonly used for task lighting, ambient lighting, or decorative lighting. They’re popular over kitchen islands, dining tables, entryways, bathroom vanities, and in reading or accent areas.
How many pendant lights should I hang over a kitchen island?
A common guideline is one pendant for every 24–30 inches of island width. Larger islands often look best with two or three evenly spaced pendants for balanced light and proportion.
How high should pendant lights hang above a counter or table?
Over kitchen counters or dining tables, pendants are typically hung about 30–36 inches above the surface. This provides good illumination without blocking sightlines.
Can pendant lights be used in entryways or foyers?
Yes. Pendant lights are often used as statement fixtures in entryways or foyers. Make sure the fixture is hung high enough to allow clear headroom, especially in spaces with foot traffic.
Do pendant light fixtures work with LED bulbs?
Yes. Most pendant fixtures accept standard bulb bases and are compatible with LED bulbs. Always check the product specifications for bulb type, wattage limits, and dimmer compatibility.
