Measuring tips · Pendants

How high to hang it over tables, islands and beds

Dining

Side view of a pendant hung 30 to 36 inches above a dining table 30–36 in 76–91 cm
  • Hang the bottom 30–36 in (76–91 cm) above the tabletop with an 8 ft (2.4 m) ceiling. Add 3 in (7.5 cm) for every extra foot of ceiling.
  • Width: room length + width in feet = pendant width in inches. A 12 × 14 ft room suits a fixture around 26 in (66 cm) across.
  • Center it on the table, not the room. The table is the anchor.

Kitchen island

Two pendants over a kitchen island, 30 to 36 inches above the counter and 24 to 30 inches apart 24–30 in 61–76 cm 30–36 in 76–91 cm
  • Hang pendants 30–36 in (76–91 cm) above the countertop.
  • Space them 24–30 in (61–76 cm) apart, and keep 6 in (15 cm) in from each end of the island.
  • Two pendants for islands under 6 ft (183 cm); three for 6–8 ft (183–244 cm). Odd numbers read best.

Living

Pendant in a living area with at least 7 feet of clearance between fixture and floor 7 ft min 213 cm
  • Anywhere people walk under it, keep at least 7 ft (213 cm) between the floor and the bottom of the pendant.
  • Aim for 2–3 in (5–7.5 cm) of fixture height per foot (30 cm) of ceiling.
  • Width: room length + width in feet = fixture width in inches.

Entryway

Entryway pendant 16 to 24 inches tall with 7 feet of walking clearance beside a front door 16–24 in 41–61 cm 7 ft min 213 cm
  • Keep 7 ft (213 cm) of walking clearance under the fixture.
  • With an 8 ft (2.4 m) ceiling, choose a fixture 16–24 in (41–61 cm) tall.
  • Sloped ceiling over the door? Use a hang-straight adapter and measure clearance from the fixture's lowest point.

Bedside

Bedside pendant over a nightstand, hung 30 to 36 inches above the mattress 30–36 in 76–91 cm
  • Hang the bottom 30–36 in (76–91 cm) above the mattress, about 20 in (51 cm) above the nightstand.
  • Center it over the nightstand, or 12 in (30 cm) in from the edge of the bed.
  • Light lands on your book, not in your eyes, and the whole nightstand stays free.

Handmade pieces can vary about 1 in / 2–3 cm from listed dimensions.
