Pendant lighting on vaulted ceiling

8 years ago

Do pendant lights work on the vaulted ceiling? I'm worried about the long rod or cord. I'll need to use a bronze finish and think it might be too bold. could I use bronze fixture and light rod.cord?

Go ahead and use Bronze. The cable or rod is not very big. The bottom of the light fixture should be 30"-34" above the counter for good illumination.

The cord should match the finish of the fixture. It will look fine. Be sure the canopy of your new fixture is for a sloped ceiling.

Beautiful clean modern kitchen! You have a great opportunity to put your personal stamp on the space with a unique backsplash. As you've heard already there are some different approaches. I'd probably place the backsplash up to the wall cabinets and up to the base of the hood. Then continue the backsplash at the same height (18"?) behind the sink. Then place an inspiring colorful picture above the sink to break up the wall. Here's a picture with pendants that aren't too obtrusive. Having multiple levels of lighting at different lumens makes a more inviting feel to the space. I couldn't decipher your flooring, but you may also want to consider adding some nature elements like a type of wood flooring, wood stools, etc. Good luck!

Yes benches are counters .... thanks for clarifying yoboseiyo! we have no high cabinets for the kitchen at this stage, we plan to do some kind of shelving but are waiting until the new "counters" and range are installed to get the feel for what we go with. Hard to get a photo at present as we are mid reno, the cabinetry is all installed....with no bench top yet.. we have our old cooker in the dining room and the new big range in there too as the area its going into is being tiled. The range will be the dominant feature in the kitchen so once that and the counter tops are in I'll take some pictures Organised Chaos!

What is the best kind of lighting for a large living/dining room with a gabled/vaulted ceiling? I am thinking of lights at the top of the walls facing up flooding the ceiling so as to reflect downwards?

You will definitely need to use cord hung pendants as they will be hanging at different levels. Rod hung fixtures aren't threaded all the way through so you can't just cut them. With taller ceilings, I like to see them so that the bottom of the pendant hangs at about the 6' or 6-1/2' area. I would also want them to be able to hold a regular base bulb, aka medium base, aka E26 base. That way, no matter how high up you end up hanging them, you should have enough light for your countertop. (no higher than 6-1/2' of course) :)

Side note: As in Cathy's comment, her picture shows chain hung. You can also do chain hung pendants. Cord & chain hung pendants will all "right themselves" also. I would also choose a larger pendant like in Cathy's comment, because there's a lot of space to fill there.
