Kitchen Mini Pendant Chandeliers

How Low Should Kitchen Mini-Pendant Lights Hang?

It's a truth universally acknowledged that the kitchen is one of the most important rooms to light properly. And for that task, mini-pendant chandeliers are a perfect option over kitchen islands and counters. Of course, this begs the question: how low should kitchen mini-pendant lights hang? While there are no steadfast rules, here are some general considerations:

• Pendants should generally be placed 28 to 34 inches above a countertop.
• If you're placing them in a row over an island, make sure they're placed low enough to maintain even lighting across the entire surface.
• Because counter tops can range in height (from a low of 36 to 42 inches for bar seating areas), remember to measure up from the surface (not down from the ceiling) when installing.
