We have a very large 12' kitchen island but short 8' ceilings. All cabinets are white, light grey White oak floors and white/grey countertops for a transitional look. How many, what size and style (wide, glass, chrome) pendants should we consider?
I had this same setup in my last kitchen. I had a seam in my quartz island. No big deal. It was almost invisible. I opted for no pendants above the island. Preferred the look to be uncluttered.
IMO the island is the main work surface and needs to have lighting that actully lights it so LED penadants the bulbs should be 4000K thesame as all the rest of the lighting and the light should shine down on the island not the ceiling. i hve no idea of your style so as far as which pendants you will need to figure that out with Jan’s very good advice. BTW a sink directly across from a range is very bad placement and that aisle nees to be 48” min. Where is the fridge? The fridge and sink need to be close and the path from them not crossing the range.
Yes Beverly - all of those look fabulous but the challenge is we have short ceilings...they are barely 8’. However, the kitchen opens to a 2.5story vaulted ceiling great room.
I don’t care for glass pendants in the kitchen due to grease from cooking mixing with dust. The ones we put in are concrete and wood. I tend to do more rustic/industrial.
Why chrome? You will find it last if you want "transitional" as it has fallen from favor.........for other finishes.
However, you can also consider TWO only, linear shallow , and open. One Left and one right of sink
Note the specs!!! especially " overall minimum hanging height" . In Chrome below. Again......note specs. A lot of light, and no obstructed view of hood, or anything else for that matter. Yes TWO and perfect sizing below
You need width.........without height in the fixture body. That's the deal with eight foot ceilings.
