Savine Pendant Lamp
Vin-CH60602
Find your pendant size
These guides work for any single pendant. Compare them with the sizes in the product’s 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 product’s Dimensions tab.
1. Choose a shade width
Center of a room
Add the room’s length and width in feet. The total is a good starting shade width in inches. For a 12 × 14 ft room, 12 + 14 = 26, so look for a shade about 26 in wide.
| Room | Shade width |
|---|---|
| 10 × 10 ft | about 20 in |
| 10 × 12 ft | about 22 in |
| 12 × 12 ft | about 24 in |
| 12 × 14 ft | about 26 in |
| 14 × 16 ft | about 30 in |
| 16 × 18 ft | about 34 in |
| 18 × 20 ft | about 38 in |
If you’re 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 | 15–18 in |
| 36 in | 18–24 in |
| 42 in | 21–28 in |
| 48 in | 24–32 in |
| 54 in | 27–36 in |
| 60 in | 30–40 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 × 42 in table with two pendants gives 84 ÷ 2 − 12 = 30 in, and the width guide gives 21–28 in, so choose two shades about 21–28 in wide.
Over a kitchen island
Compact shades, about 12–18 in wide (roughly a third of the island’s depth), suit most kitchen islands. Use two or three, spaced about 24–30 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 lamp’s 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 can’t be shorter than the shade height plus the canopy and a few inches of cord, so check the product’s 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 30–36 in. Exact canopy and cord details are in the product’s Specifications.
Over a table or island
Over a 30 in dining table, aim for 30–36 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 30–36 in. The drop is the number to give your installer.
| Ceiling | Dining table drop | Island drop |
|---|---|---|
| 7 ft 6 in | 24–30 in | 18–24 in |
| 8 ft | 30–36 in | 24–30 in |
| 9 ft | 39–45 in | 36–42 in |
| 10 ft | 48–54 in | 48–54 in |
| 11 ft | 57–63 in | 60–66 in |
| 12 ft | 66–72 in | 72–78 in |
| 14 ft | 84–90 in | 96–102 in |
