I wanted to know if the distance from the island counter to bottom of fixture varies with ceiling height? Reply

Great info! The question I have involves a bar not an island. I want to hang two pendants over a 90" bar. Each pendant is 12" wide. I have 10′ ceilings in this room. Reply
If you used a giant pendant, would this require larger spacing?I’m looking at getting a 40" pendant for a 10′ 2" island and I’m not sure about whether I can use 1 or two. 1 seems not enough but 2 I worry the spacing would be too tight given the large scale. Reply
I live in an old farmhouse with 7′ ceilings. What do you recommend for heights for hanging lights over an island or dining table? We otherwise just use recessed, sconces, or flush mounts in other parts of the house. Reply
Hi! Do you have a blog post on under cabinet lighting options? We just renovated our kitchen and have Michelangela Calacutta marble, but a lot of the under cabinets lights seem too warm. Any suggestions? Thank you! Reply
What spacing do you recommend for two pendants if your kitchen island is only 5 feet long? Thanks Reply
If I wanted to group three of the Moravian star pendants above a rectangular dining room table what would you recommend the best placement? Reply
Hi! our island table is under uneven ceiling because its a high ceiling( triangle shape high ceiling) …any suggestion how to put a chandelier over our island? Reply
Hi! Thank you for this useful guide but is there another post or could you expand on mixing and matching light fixtures especially in an open concept kitchen? I live in a small townhouse in washington dc and I have 3 pendant lights over the kitchen island. I’m having such a hard time picking a fixture over the breakfast nook/dining area (a tight space) that complements the island pendants. Reply
Hi Sadaf! That’s a great idea, we will put that on our list. 🙂 In the meantime, here is another recent post about lighting that may help! https://www.studio-mcgee.com/studioblog/7-tips-for-home-lighting Reply
Thanks for the great post! Any recommendations on lighting for a slanted vaulted ceiling? Thanks! Reply
I was searching for your original post yesterday! Our living room is a vaulted ceiling but the center of the vault is not centered in the room. Would you still center the chandelier in the room or on the beam of the vaulted ceiling? In the photo with the round bulb pendants, there doesn’t seem to be 4’ between wall and hallway pendant- is it okay to be closer in a 5’ wide hallway or would you opt for a different style of lighting? Cannot wait for your Netflix show! Reply
Thanks for this post! I just put up two of the Studio McGee Threshold Seagrass pendants in my kitchen yesterday! Does the same rule apply for high ceilings for kitchen pendents like the chandelier guide? Where you add 3” to each additional foot? My kitchen has 11ft celingings. Thanks! Reply
