How High Do You Hang a Pendant Light Over an Island?

Like anything when it comes to art, I do believe that rules are meant to be made your own. However, there are a few tried and true interior design tips and tricks that I just about always abide by, and today I’m answering the age old question: how high do you hang a pendant light over an island. 

My rule of thumb: there should be 30-36″ of clearance from the top of your counter to the underside of your light fixture. 

Bonus notes: they should also be hung at minimum 24″ apart from each other, and at minimum 6″ away from the edge of the counter.

Happy reno’ing!
