Renavo Pendant Lamp
Vin-CH64201
Find your pendant size
These guides work for any single pendant. Compare them with the sizes in the productโs Dimensions tab: first the shade width, then the hanging height.
Drawn to scale under a 9 ft ceiling: over a table, and where people walk.
Common shade widths at one scale. Compare them with the sizes in the productโs Dimensions tab.
1. Choose a shade width
Center of a room
Add the roomโs length and width in feet. The total is a good starting shade width in inches. For a 12 ร 14 ft room, 12 + 14 = 26, so look for a shade about 26 in wide.
| Room | Shade width |
|---|---|
| 10 ร 10 ft | about 20 in |
| 10 ร 12 ft | about 22 in |
| 12 ร 12 ft | about 24 in |
| 12 ร 14 ft | about 26 in |
| 14 ร 16 ft | about 30 in |
| 16 ร 18 ft | about 34 in |
| 18 ร 20 ft | about 38 in |
If youโre between two sizes, the smaller one is a safe choice. Larger shades need a taller ceiling where people walk underneath (see step 2).
Over a dining table
Choose a shade about 1/2 to 2/3 the width of your table, and at least 12 in narrower than the table. For a round table, use its diameter.
| Table width | Shade width |
|---|---|
| 30 in | 15โ18 in |
| 36 in | 18โ24 in |
| 42 in | 21โ28 in |
| 48 in | 24โ32 in |
| 54 in | 27โ36 in |
| 60 in | 30โ40 in |
Long table? Use two or three pendants, each centered over an equal section of the table. For the widest shade per pendant, divide the table length by the number of pendants and subtract 12 in, then use whichever is smaller: that number or the width guide. Example: an 84 ร 42 in table with two pendants gives 84 รท 2 โ 12 = 30 in, and the width guide gives 21โ28 in, so choose two shades about 21โ28 in wide.
Over a kitchen island
Compact shades, about 12โ18 in wide (roughly a third of the islandโs depth), suit most kitchen islands. Use two or three, spaced about 24โ30 in apart center to center, and keep each shade at least 6 in from the ends of the island.
Entryway
Use the room rule above, then check the walking clearance in step 2: people walk directly under an entry light. If you can, leave about 4 ft between the shade and the walls. A two-story foyer can take a much larger shade.
Beside the bed
For a pair over nightstands, choose a shade narrower than the nightstand. Hang the bottom of the shade about 42 in above the floor, about where a table lampโs shade would sit, and keep it beside the bed rather than over the pillows.
2. Check the height
Drop means the distance from the ceiling to the bottom of the shade. It canโt be shorter than the shade height plus the canopy and a few inches of cord, so check the productโs Dimensions and Specifications.
Where people walk
Keep at least 7 ft (84 in) from the floor to the bottom of the shade.
| Ceiling | Longest drop |
|---|---|
| 7 ft 6 in | up to 6 in |
| 8 ft | up to 12 in |
| 9 ft | up to 24 in |
| 10 ft | up to 36 in |
| 11 ft | up to 48 in |
| 12 ft | up to 60 in |
| 14 ft | up to 84 in |
If the shortest drop (see the example below) is more than the drop shown, hang it over furniture instead.
Check one size: an example
Example: a shade 14 in tall. Allow about 5 in for the canopy and a short length of cord, so its shortest drop is about 19 in. With an 8 ft ceiling, a walkway allows up to 12 in, so hang it over a table instead, where the target drop is 30โ36 in. Exact canopy and cord details are in the productโs Specifications.
Over a table or island
Over a 30 in dining table, aim for 30โ36 in above the tabletop with an 8 ft ceiling, and add about 3 in for each extra foot of ceiling. Over a 36 in counter, aim for 30โ36 in. The drop is the number to give your installer.
| Ceiling | Dining table drop | Island drop |
|---|---|---|
| 7 ft 6 in | 24โ30 in | 18โ24 in |
| 8 ft | 30โ36 in | 24โ30 in |
| 9 ft | 39โ45 in | 36โ42 in |
| 10 ft | 48โ54 in | 48โ54 in |
| 11 ft | 57โ63 in | 60โ66 in |
| 12 ft | 66โ72 in | 72โ78 in |
| 14 ft | 84โ90 in | 96โ102 in |
