How do you pick pendant lights for a kitchen island?
Mainly used for task and accent lighting over kitchen islands, pendant lights have grown in popularity. Yet, the main reason behind that is that pendant lights are also enough to provide the entire kitchen with efficient light only by themselves. Though they are a fail-safe option both in functional and aesthetic terms, there are still a few details to keep in mind when picking a pendant light for a kitchen island
First, get something that reflects your kitchen’s overall style unless you aim for an eclectic kitchen.
Secondly, decide how many pendants you will need, depending on the size of the kitchen island. For larger ones, generally, 3 pendants are enough. But if your pendants are rather small, then you can consider getting a fourth one. It is also recommended to leave 24-34 inches between the pendants.
Thirdly, the material is an important detail. If you prefer something easy to clean, then consider glass and metal pendants that are simple in form. And avoid fabric ones.

How big should pendant lights be over a kitchen island?
When deciding the size of pendant lights for your kitchen island, there are a couple of factors to consider, such as the size of a kitchen island. If you have a small kitchen island, you won’t need something oversized. Two small pendants of 8 inches are enough for a 4-5 feet island, for example. For bigger islands, you can act more generous. As a general rule of thumb, it is recommended to subtract 12 inches from the width measurement of your island and use it as a cue for how wide the pendant should be. For example if your island measures 30 inches, then you can choose a pendant with 18-inch width.

How do I choose the right size pendant light?
Choosing the right size pendant light depends on the island size. But first, keep in mind that a 30 to 36 inches distance should be maintained between the countertop and the light base. This way, you ensure that clearance is secured, and pendants don’t block your view. At this point, ceiling height may also need to be considered. If you have a low ceiling, for example, then you may need to get a smaller pendant. And when it comes to choosing the right size pendant, it is recommended for the lighting fixture to be between 2/3 and 3/4 of the measurement. So, all you need to do is to measure the width or diameter of your island. Then you also automatically know how big your pendant should be.
