Kitchen Worktops Stanmore
An island is often framed by pendant lights as well as cabinetry.
Use the finished worktop outline for the set-out
Our three-pendant portfolio kitchen shows a waterfall island below a line of lights. If your design uses that arrangement, make sure the lighting discussion refers to the finished top rather than only the cabinet footprint. Overhangs and vertical panels can change the apparent centre of the island.
Check the views from the dining space
The island can look different from its working side and from the room beyond. Mark the face you want to emphasise, any seating positions and the intended waterfall ends. Consider whether a strong surface pattern will compete with or complement the lighting.
Find your surface
Compare finishes, thicknesses and care requirements.
Should pendant lights be centred on the cabinets or the worktop?
That is a design decision to agree with your kitchen designer and electrician using the finished worktop outline. The two footprints may differ because of overhangs or waterfall panels. Confirm the relevant dimensions before either the lighting position or the stone specification is treated as final.
