How low should pendant lights hang?
The ideal height for a pendant light depends on the room's purpose and the size of the fixture. Here are some general guidelines:
Living Room:
- The bottom of the pendant should be at least 7 feet (2.1 meters) above the floor to avoid head bumps.
- For higher ceilings, you can hang the pendant lower to create a more intimate atmosphere.
Dining Room:
- The bottom of the pendant should be approximately 28-32 inches (71-81 cm) above the dining table.
- Ensure there's enough space for people to sit comfortably without hitting their heads on the pendant.
Kitchen Island:
- The bottom of the pendant should be around 30-36 inches (76-91 cm) above the kitchen island to allow enough room for cooking and preparing food.

Larger pendants can be hung slightly higher. If using multiple pendants, space them evenly and consider their combined visual impact.
