Hi,

this picture is looking from my dining room into my kitchen. My sink is in the island, cooktop behind, and window to the side. My island is 114x 52.

I bought three of these pendants. 10” h and 7 “ diameter Everything I read said use three, but wondering if it will be too much.

    I don’t think three is too much but three of those lights might be. Maybe keep one and use it in a different space. I would get three of something a bit more simple. Really pretty kitchen.

    It looks like two could be enough in that space :-)

    I agree, three will be too much. The kitchen is beautiful and the pendants tie the colors together nicely.

    based on the volume of the room and the size of the pendant two would end up looking too small IMO do three. The inspo pic has a much smaller space and they are not too big there...

    Thank you. I loved the kitchen in the inspiration pic. So I do love these lights. Initially wanted to go with oversized woven bamboo but this is an old house with low ceilings and it just did not work And Also they will be a pain to clean.

    It looks like you'd be able to do 3 pendants easily in your kitchen.

    Hi. Holly. You see preventing lighting from getting too much is really simple. Your kitchen and dinning seems to be an open plan type.

    First know how much brightness is recommended for a kitchen. I did the research and wrote a full article at lightingglow .com

    it is around 150 - 200 lumens per square meter which means 18 lumens per square feet.

    Simply measure to the total square feet area of your dinning and kitchen and multiply it with 18 you will get the recommended brightness for kitchen area.

    after you have your lumens calculated see much lumens a individual pendant is emitting. it is printed on the description of bulb. Add all the lumens and match it with recommended brightness.

    If you further need help you can always check the detailed answer on lightingglow.

    Thanks.

    Hi Holly,


    We encountered this situation with another project of ours. We chose to align the 3 pendants over the kitchen island to light up the workspace.


    We would also recommend adding 3 pendants. Feel free to take a look at the project here: https://www.hampshirelight.net/portfolio/modern-kitchen


    Hope this helps!

    Hello,

    I think 3 crystal pendants are perfect.
