How to Hang Lights the Right Way

From placement to spacing, we'll give you the 101 on all things lighting.

Pendants

When hanging island pendants, leave about 30–32" from the island countertop to the bottom of your fixture, and space each pendant about 30" apart.

Linear

For linear island lights, go with a fixture with a length that does not exceed 2/3 of the island. For a very long island, consider two linear lights if your electrical situation allows it.

Chandeliers

Keep 36" between the table and the chandelier's lowest-hanging point. For a rectangular table, the ideal width is 6" less than all edges of the table.

Pendants

For round tables, compare the diameters of the table and the fixture, aiming to keep the fixture 12-18" back from the table's edge.

Chandeliers

To calculate the size of your chandelier, multiply ceiling height by 2.5–3 to get suggested height for fixture. For diameter, add the room’s dimensions and convert sum to inches.

Picture Lights

When used for artwork, tilt picture lights at a 30° angle. To choose the right size, measure the width of the frame, then select a fixture that is approximately half the width of the artwork.

Wall Sconces

When hanging plug-in sconces, leave about 55-60" from floor to top of your fixture, and space each plug-in sconce on each side of your bed.

Beside Pendant

Hang the pendant so the shade sits at (or just above) head level when you’re seated upright. As a general guideline, the bottom of the shade should be approximately 42" from the floor.

Wall Sconces

Side mounted sconces should be about 28" apart. If your mirror is centered above the sink, mount fixtures just a few inches to the left and right of the mirror - as close to your face as possible. There should also be about 60-65" of space between the floor and the midpoint of the sconce backplate.

Bath Bars

Your bath bar light should be 75% the width of your mirror to provide balanced and proportional lighting. For optimal illumination and comfortable use, mount the fixture approximately 75-80" above the floor. This height helps reduce shadows on your face while keeping the light within practical reach.

Wall Sconces

For entryways, mount wall sconces 60-65" from the floor. If your ceilings are very tall, place them higher to keep the lighting balanced and welcoming.

Pendants

Finding the perfect entryway fixture is all about scale and placement. For pendants, keep the bottom of the fixture at least 84" from the floor for comfortable headroom. For chandeliers in open spaces, add your room’s length and width in feet to get the ideal diameter in inches.
