A pendant light in the wrong size is the fastest way to make a good room feel off — too small and it disappears, too large and it crowds everything under it. This pendant light size guide gives you the actual numbers: how wide a shade to choose and how high to hang it over a kitchen island, a dining table, and an entryway, in both inches and centimeters. No guesswork, no design jargon.

The two measurements that decide everything

Every choice comes down to two numbers: the diameter of the shade and the hanging height — the gap from the bottom of the shade to the surface below it. Diameter controls how the fixture reads in the room. Hanging height controls whether people can see across the table, sit without ducking, and walk under it safely. The Atelier Collection is made in five sizes, XS through XL, so most pieces can be matched to the numbers below. Two oversized pieces are made at a single scale for rooms that need one large fixture: REINA at 18.9 inches (48 cm) and ONDINA at 21.3 inches (54 cm). The exact diameter of each size is listed on the piece.

How to size a pendant light for a kitchen island

Over an island, use a row of two or three evenly spaced pendants rather than one. The combined width of the shades should equal about one-half to two-thirds of the island's length. Leave 6 to 12 inches (15–30 cm) of clear space at each end, and space the pendants 24 to 30 inches (61–76 cm) apart, measured center to center.

Island length	Number of pendants	Diameter each
4 ft (122 cm)	2	7–9 in (18–23 cm)
5 ft (152 cm)	2	8–10 in (20–25 cm)
6 ft (183 cm)	2–3	9–12 in (23–30 cm)
7–8 ft (213–244 cm)	3	9–12 in (23–30 cm)

Hang the bottom of each shade 30 to 36 inches (76–91 cm) above the countertop. That keeps the bulb out of sightlines while pooling light on the work surface.

Sizing pendants over a dining table

The goal at a dining table is to light a span roughly one-half to two-thirds of the table's length. A single wide shade suits a small round or square table; a row of two or three shades suits anything longer than about 48 inches (122 cm). A long table can also carry one large piece on its own: REINA at 18.9 inches (48 cm) or ONDINA at 21.3 inches (54 cm) reads as one object where a row reads as a line.

Table length	Recommended setup
Round, up to 42 in (107 cm)	1 shade, 9–12.5 in (23–32 cm)
48–60 in (122–152 cm)	2 shades, 8–10 in (20–25 cm) each
66–84 in (168–213 cm)	3 shades, 9–12 in (23–30 cm) each

Hang the bottom of the shade 28 to 34 inches (71–86 cm) above the tabletop with a standard 8-foot ceiling. For every additional foot of ceiling height, raise the fixture about 3 inches (8 cm).

Entryway and foyer pendants

For an entry, there is a simple starting formula: add the room's length and width in feet, and use that sum as the shade diameter in inches.

Room size	Length + width	Target diameter
8 × 10 ft	18	~18 in (46 cm)
10 × 12 ft	22	~22 in (56 cm)
12 × 14 ft	26	~26 in (66 cm)

Targets in the 18 to 22 inch range are covered by a single oversized piece, REINA at 18.9 inches or ONDINA at 21.3 inches. Above that, reach the number with a tight cluster of two or three shades. In a standard-height entry, keep the bottom of the fixture at least 7 feet (213 cm) above the floor. In a two-story foyer, center the pendant in the window if there is one, and never let it hang below the second-floor landing. If it hangs over a console table, treat it like a dining pendant and center it on the tabletop.

Hanging height rules in one place

Location	Bottom of shade above surface
Kitchen island or counter	30–36 in (76–91 cm) above the counter
Dining table (8 ft ceiling)	28–34 in (71–86 cm) above the table
Walkways and open floor	at least 84 in (213 cm) above the floor

The one adjustment to remember: add about 3 inches of drop for every foot your ceiling rises above 8 feet, so the fixture stays in proportion with the taller room.

A 10-second shortcut

When you need a starting point for a single ambient pendant in any room, add the room's length and width in feet and read the total as inches of diameter. A 10-by-13-foot room lands around 23 inches, which ONDINA at 21.3 inches will hold on its own, or a pair of smaller shades will cover. From there, adjust down if the fixture will hang over furniture and up if the ceiling is high.

Match the size to the room

Once you have your numbers, the next part is choosing a shape. Browse all fourteen pieces in the Atelier Collection: Atelier Matte in ten finishes — Alabaster, Sand, Bone, Ash and Saddle, which glow, and Terracotta, Olive, Walnut, Ink and Graphite, which cast — and Atelier Lucent, the translucent half, in Honey, Blush, Frost, Celadon, Heather, Ember, Garnet, Amethyst, Cobalt and Verdigris.

Every piece is made to order in a one-person studio in Burlington, Connecticut, and arrives in 1–2 weeks, made and delivered. Shipping in the US is complimentary and insured, returns run 30 days, and every piece has its cord set included — plug-in or hardwired, black or white, never an upcharge. Any standard-socket LED bulb works.

If your island, table, or ceiling is an unusual size, the studio takes bespoke commissions through LUMA from $395. Start on the design your own page, send your measurements, and the piece is sized to fit the room instead of the room being asked to fit the piece.

The details

About this light

The CELIA has no straight lines in it. A soft cloud form, gathered in slow organic waves, it gives a light with no hard edge anywhere — the kind that makes a bedroom or a landing feel finished rather than lit. Built one at a time in a small Connecticut studio.

One edition

There is no standard version. Every CELIA is made to a single specification — formed slowly, in fine layers, then hand-finished so the surface reads as one continuous shape rather than a stack of lines.

Five sizes

From a compact accent shade to a full centrepiece. The size guide will tell you which suits your ceiling height and the space beneath it.

Ten finishes

Ten, chosen from hundreds and held to a single matte family. Five let the light through and become lanterns — Alabaster, Sand, Bone, Ash and Saddle. Five hold it back and read as form — Terracotta, Olive, Walnut, Ink and Graphite. On a shape this soft, the five that glow are the ones most people reach for.

Materials

Shade and inner diffuser in a matte, plant-derived polymer — the matte surface scatters light across the print so the piece reads as one continuous form rather than a stack of layers. The socket cup is a separate black PETG fitting, the same on every piece in the collection, where a tougher and more heat-tolerant material matters most.

Also made in translucent

The same form is offered as the CELIA Lucent, formed in translucent PLA — a separate piece, not a finish, where the cloud glows from within instead of catching light on its surface. Of everything in the collection it is the pairing that changes most.

What is included

Your choice of a plug-in or hardwired cord set, in black or white — included, not an upcharge.
Complimentary insured shipping within the United States, and thirty-day returns.

Made to order

Begun only after you order it, and at your door within one to two weeks — made and delivered. Use any standard-socket LED bulb; wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
