Dining Pendant Light Advice

last year

Hi, if you’re a budding interior designer/design enthusiast, I’m hoping you might be able to help me choose the right pendant light for my dining room. My husband and I have (nearly) finished decorating our new home, and I

I can’t seem to get it quite right!

I do like our current ceiling light, but I dont feel it’s right for the space - I think its too large and something just seems off. We really like Danish/bohemian design - any suggestions are much appreciated!

Do you like wicker at all? Some can look a bit homespun, but some are quite smart. Here’s a couple of examples but there are loads available.

Hello, there are plenty of examples with 3 pendant lights with chairs lining up underneath. I think it looks quite professional. You can always personalize the kitchen that commercial spaces cannot do.

island pendant lighting

I would love some advice on finalizing a choice for island pendant lighting. My kitchen has 8 foot ceilings and the island will be 4'x6'. My husband is 6'1" so I want to make sure lighting isn't too low for his sight line but also to not have fixture too tall that it looks strange hugging the ceiling too closely. I like the seeded glass look and brushed nickel finish as it will coordinate with the glass front cabinet in wet bar area. I also prefer rod vs. chain or cord hanger. This light is 12.5" wide x 11.25" high. Would have a little longer drop from ceiling. I think I would do 2 instead of 3?? This light is 10.5" wide x 15.75" high. It would only have a 6" drop from ceiling so don't know if that is too big and too close to ceiling. Maybe do just 2 or possibly 3?? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

We are in the process of renovating our kitchen, including knocking through into the dining room and adding french doors from the dining room to the garden. It's west facing and doesn't get huge amounts of sunlight. I'm trying to figure out what to do about lighting. We have 3 pendants that will go over the peninsula but otherwise no lighting decisions - although as we are redoing the ceiling, recessed spots seem like a good idea. The kitchen cabinets will be pale grey high gloss, with an oak worktop. Other than the oven cabinet and the freezer/fridge/pantry wall, there are no high cabinets. My main issues are: where to place spots centre light in dining area: we tend to move the table depending on season/events/mood so don't necessarily want to be stuck with a pendant light that only works best directly above the table do I need spots interspersed with the pendants over the peninsula (they are heavy ceramic so will likely not cast much ambient light). It will be my main baking/food prep area so light will be important. (General plan of kitchen - not entirely to scale but gives a good idea of plans. About 30 sq m in total - the long wall with window and french doors is about 7 m)

What a beautiful room. I feel that with so much white, something with a nod to mid century colour would be good.

We got a gorgeous globe chandelier recently from Dowsing and Reynolds. They have a great range of innovative lighting, certainly worth a look.

Have you got a budget you are working to ?

I do agree that the one currently there isn't quite right. I would edge towards something slightly more of a traditional shape. Also do you want general light or are you happy with a 'downlighter' ?
