While there’s a vast variety of kitchen lights available in the market from floor lamps to ceiling fixtures, pendant lights are taking the limelight nowadays. Task and decorative lighting are two reasons why people put pendant lighting over their islands. Before you can start limiting down your options for pendant lights, you need to figure out a few things. You’ll need to figure out how many lights you want and what size is best (based on your island size as well as your ceiling height). The size of your pendant lamp should be proportional to how much light you require (i.e. a larger pendant will provide more lighting than a smaller pendant).
However, there’s a lot more to it than that. When picking pendants to hang above your kitchen island, you must consider the width and height of the pendant light. Additionally, do look into the height of your ceiling and the length of your island. In general, the longer and higher your kitchen island, the better it is for these lights. Further, these two aspects of kitchen lighting are imperative to be considered. Firstly, it should ideally illuminate the work surfaces where you do most of your cooking. Secondly, it must give a warm environment during dinner or night-time hours.
Kitchen pendants are the favored choice for decorators who want to establish a creative statement in an otherwise utilitarian room, filling the void between the counters and the ceiling with suspended works of art.
