Help! 2 or 3 Pendants over Kitchen Island?

Help! We are in the midst of giving our kitchen a facelift, and I don't know if these pendants for over the island are too small? The island is about 7' long, and currently has two large pendants that are about 15.5" diameter. Picture is of our current situation -

please excuse the mismatched backsplash, waiting on new one to be installed :)


The pendants we want are 12" diameter: https://www.build.com/z-lite-476p-rod/s1731954?uid=4097768&searchId=QGD1nkxjd8


Will 2 be enough based on where the existing ones are, or do we need to have a 3rd installed in the middle of them? Would rods be better than a cord? Does anyone have any reviews on these pendants in particular? We are pretty new to this so any help would be appreciated!


(and for what it's worth, the backsplash will be light grey subway tile and we're switching all the hardware to gold/bronze - new faucet is Brizo Luxe Gold)

    The placement of your pendants seems wrong. Is it just the picture, or do they line up with the edges of your island?

    @lucky998877 the picture makes it look a little weird, but the edge of it falls about 6.5-7" from the edge of the counter. The new ones would be about 5.5-6" smaller in diameter so they'd be a little closer in towards the middle. I think the "hole" (not sure the right term) where it attaches to the ceiling is about 15" from the edge of the counter.

    The two smaller pendants will fit the space better. They are very pretty!

    Hope this helps!

    Keep in mind the glass globes will feel far less visually heavy than your current pendants.

    Two pendants half that size, you outlet placement was centered to be that way. What you have now is much to large and in charge, the black also seems heavy. I would consider glass or mixed metal. Do not add a third pendant. Too much clutter.


    I would have done this

    We think it would be better to hang 3 pendant lights, but smaller than the ones in your photo.

    If oyu have large and heavy pendants; use two. Light and small; Use three.

    there is an 8" option available. Since they are glass globes, they will provide sufficient illumination if you choose the correct bulb. so you could place 3 8" globes. Three trumps two in most things anyway. Sets of three look better, IMO.
