3 Quick Tips - How To Hang Your Kitchen Pendant Lights ๐น MEASURE DOWN: For 8 foot ceilings, your lights should hang down anywhere from 12" - 20". For each foot your ceiling is taller, add 3" to that range - so if your ceilings are 10' then your pendants should hang down 18"-26". ๐น MEASURE UP: Measure up from your counter instead - hang your light 30"-36" above your countertop for optimal task lighting. ๐น LOOK ACROSS: Before you settle on a height, double check to make sure it's not blocking your view across the room! Have a friend hold the light while you stand in your kitchen- if it blocks your view then raise it a little higher!

Wondering what size is best for your chandelier? Add the length and width of the room, then use that number to determine the ideal width of the chandelier.
Example: A 10โ X 12โ room is 10+12=22, so plan for a 22 inch fixture.
If winter is only one of four seasons, why does it feel so long sometimes?! ๐คจ๐ฅถ
PHOTO TIP #7: Photos with the best lighting have a light source coming from one or both sides ๐ If the light is straight on, it's usually too harsh. Light from the back, causes shadows and silhouettes. When light shines evenly from both sides, it provides a balanced spread of light, which enhances your features.

BULB FACT: Light affects how we view color. The Color Rendering Index (CRI) measures the how well a light portrays color in its full, natural state. Bulbs with a CRI of 90 or higher portray the boldest colors!
