KITCHEN ISLAND LIGHTING
As a rough rule of thumb a pendant light should be positioned 75-80cm apart and 75-80cm above an island bench. This is a generally applied rule when symmetry is in place.
When space is limited, a single offset pendant or two offset pendants positioned next to each other, at different heights, can still achieve asymmetrical harmony.
HALLWAY LIGHTING
Positioning pendants in a hallway
With hallways if you have adequate room, position the pendant roughly 120cm away from any surrounding walls and roughly 215cm from the floor.
For every additional 1/2 meter of ceiling height above standard ceiling height (2.4), add an additional 6-7cm of height away from the floor.
For ceilings that are 2 stories in height, a single hanging pendant/ chandelier should be positioned no lower than the second floor.
If the pendant/ chandelier has a cascade effect ensure that it sits no lower than 2.4 from the floor.
DINING TABLE PENDANT POSITIONING
With standard ceiling height, (2.4) a pendant should be hung 80cm from a table. As you can see from the image below where we showcase the Wood Frame Banquet pendant.
For every additional 30cm of ceiling height, hang the pendant 10cm higher. Have the pendant sit no more than 15cm off the edge of the table
To achieve simple harmony, have the pendant shape mimic the shape of the table below.
BEDROOM PENDANT POSITIONING
Bedroom pendants being hung either side of the bed has become increasingly popular over the last few years. Pendant lighting should be positioned central to the bedside table and sit anywhere between 40-55 cm above the tables surface.
For a centre piece pendant above a bed, the pendant should measure roughly 210cm from the floor.
