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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
| 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.
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.
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 LOLA wraps a rhythmic geometric mesh around a clean cylindrical drum, throwing a patterned wash of light across a dining table, an island, or an entryway. Mid-century in its proportions, and built one at a time in a small Connecticut studio.
There is no standard version. Every LOLA 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. It is the only way we make it.
From a seven-inch accent shade to a twelve-and-a-half-inch centrepiece. The size guide will tell you which one suits your ceiling height and the surface beneath it.
Ten, chosen from hundreds and held to a single matte family, so every piece in the collection belongs to the same family of light.
Five let the light through and become lanterns — Alabaster, Sand, Bone, Ash and Saddle. Five hold it back and read as form, casting the mesh pattern across the ceiling and walls — Terracotta, Olive, Walnut, Ink and Graphite.
The shade and its inner diffuser are formed in a matte, plant-derived polymer. The matte surface is the point: it 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 — a tougher, more heat-tolerant material exactly where it sits closest to the lampholder, and a constant dark detail against all ten finishes.
The same form is offered as the LOLA Lucent, formed in translucent PLA. It is not a finish of this piece but a separate one: the material changes what the shade does with light, turning a patterned wash into a glow that comes from within — and it is where the collection's colour lives, against these ten neutrals.
Your LOLA is begun only after you order it, and reaches you within one to two weeks — that is the whole of it, made and delivered, not a production time with shipping still to come. It is formed over many hours, hand-finished, inspected and packed by the same maker. Use any standard-socket LED bulb; wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.

I love these pendant shades! Exactly what I was looking for. Ph5 vibes, but more unique. I use Philips Hue, so I put color bulbs in to match the mood. Love how these look!

My item arrived quickly, but unfortunately, it was partially broken due to shipping. Once I notified the seller he quickly sent out a replacement with no questions asked. Great experience and will shop with them again in the future.

The lampshades are well crafted, easy to install, and look as exactly as described. Very happy with this purchase! We had a delay in shipping but this was the fault of the mail carrier and not the Etsy seller. Overall, highly recommend!

My husband and I are really liking our new light shade. We needed something in our sunroom that would free up a table from a lamp and this was perfect. It is well made, unique and even our adult grandkids loved it! I took some time looking to find this and this was the one for us! We received it in a timely manner. I highly recommend.

These parts fit standard light fixtures perfectly, making the installation totally painless. I really enjoyed being able to customize the colors for each layer. The maker was friendly, professional, and very helpful throughout the process.

Great communication from seller, lovely products and it looks nice in my kitchen
Andrew · Dec 2025
Looks great! Added a swag light bulb and hanging kit and it looks great as a hanging light. Really like how it casts off light, it's a soft throw while still being bright.

Lovely color shade with study quality
mel · Dec 2025
First and foremost, this lamp is great. It has a fantastic retro-futuristic vibe and gives my whole living room a cozy, amber glow. I usually don’t go for 3D-printed home decor, but this one is so worth it and fits in well with my more natural-toned home. I also have to mention that the package arrived earlier than I could’ve hoped for, and with absolutely no damage. This was a great buy, and I will be happy to purchase from this shop again!

We love this lamp shade! It is beautiful to look at - on or off - adds a/nother touch of class to our living room. And, I had trouble putting it together, the vendor for right back to me, told me I had the wrong cord and provided DIRECT LINKS to the correct options. 10/10 recommend!

The lampshade is really beautifully made. I love the color, the weight of it, and the way the light makes it glow from within. It was well packed and arrived in good condition. It came in two pieces, and was easy to install.

Such a cool 3D printed lamp shade! Selected the red color, which is striking and looks exactly how I pictured it. I bet any of the other color options would look great too.
