Pendant Light Height From Floor
Ever since finishing up our kitchen remodel i ve gotten questions almost weekly about hanging pendant lights over a kitchen island including the best pendant light height and how far apart to hang them.
Pendant light height from floor. Assuming that your bar countertop is 42 high add 30 so the bottom of your light fixture should be about 72 from the floor. Bedroom pendants are generally hung either side of the bed or in the centre of the room. What height is right when hanging a pendant light. Having the right spacing and height for your kitchen lighting is as important as the style of lighting that you choose.
A good guideline to follow for pendant light height over a bar or island is 30 to 36 inches between the counter and the bottom of the light fixture. The pendant light should sit at least 10 12 inches in from the widest part of your countertop. If you would like to hang a light fixture over a kitchen island the bottom of the light fixture should be around 6 from the floor. Don t cram too many pendants in while it s all relative to the size of the pendant there should be approx 30 inches in between bulbs.
So if your island is 3 feet wide you ll want the pendant to be no bigger than 12 inches. You ll probably want at least 84 to 96 inches from the bottom of the light to the floor. Pendants on either side of the bed are used instead of table lamps so an easy way to consider the right height would be to visualise hanging them at a table lamp shade height be sure to allow a minimum of 30 50cm from your bedside table top so you have space for bedside. You ll want to play around with the heights based on your line of sight which is discussed more below.
Pendant fixtures are both a beautiful way to add a jewelry like feature to your decor and an important part of a well layered light scheme. This way you can make sure the lamp won t be in the way.
