Installing a Chandelier Over a Kitchen Island
When installing a chandelier over a kitchen island, there are several factors to consider. Style is one of the most important factors because it conveys the personality of a room. While there are many beautiful styles to choose from, you need to decide what will fit with the style of the rest of the space. If you have a farmhouse-style kitchen, choose a vintage-style chandelier or one with a country-style feel.
Choosing a type of light for a kitchen island can be a challenge. While a chandelier will provide light in a more directional fashion, pendants cast a soft, diffused light down onto the countertop. This style is particularly attractive if the space you are lighting is small, and a pendant is a great option for this purpose. It is also good for creating a cozy atmosphere for the kitchen, as well as providing a functional light source.
For a traditional look, opt for a pendant light over the kitchen island. They are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles and can match any style or decor in a kitchen. If you’re installing a pendant, make sure it hangs from the counter at a level where you can easily see it. Another consideration is the type of light fixture. If you’re planning on installing a pendant over a kitchen island, you should choose the one that has a low-voltage plug.
