Single Pendant Lights
for Kitchen Islands

Single pendant lights are our most popular choice for kitchen islands. Designed to work beautifully as singles, pairs, or styled evenly in rows.

How many single pendants do I need?

1 Pendant

Perfect for smaller islands or a statement look over a compact space.

Best for longer islands using smaller pendants styled evenly in a row.

Using smaller pendants over kitchen islands

Smaller pendants work best when styled in multiples, creating balance and visual rhythm over kitchen islands

Use multiples for balance

Smaller pendants are best styled in rows of three or five to create a balanced, intentional look.

Keep spacing even

Even spacing helps smaller pendants feel cohesive rather than scattered.

Let repetition do the work

Repeating a smaller pendant creates impact without overpowering the space.
