Help & Advice
What kind of light goes over a kitchen island?
Generally speaking, the choices are chandelier-esque – meaning multiple lights and decorative elements on a single fitting – or multi-arm fittings with several separate lights.
Either approach can work well – as can individual lamps, which can be used singly or in a line of two or three.
How many lights should be on a kitchen island?
There's no hard-and-fast rule; we think it's more important to find a light that suits the width of your kitchen island. It doesn't have to be the same size, just the same kind of proportions. In other words, look at the island and then try not to go too big or too small with your pendant.
Are pendant lights over an island out of style?
Not at all. We have thousands of happy clients who will happily tell you that they work wonders. It's all about personal choice – and there are lots of options! We have hundreds of pendant lights for kitchen islands spanning a multitude of styles.
How do you pick a light for a kitchen island?
A good tip is to measure how long your kitchen island is, and then pick a light that is around half that length. If your kitchen island is 2m long, then a very large kitchen island light that is 2m in length may seem overbearing. This is less likely to be the case on an island that is 4m long.
How high should kitchen pendant lights hang over an island?
It's down to personal choice and how you will use the island. But it's important not to bang your head on the lights or be dazzled by them, so factor these considerations into your planning.
Note, however, that low island lights can work wonders. They can create a lovely, intimate space.
Should pendant lights be centred to the kitchen island?
Not necessarily. Sometimes these lights work well when arranged to the right or left of the kitchen island. They can also be positioned towards the front or the back, depending on how the island will be used.
Generally speaking, however, it is safe to say that most kitchen island lights are centred.
