1. Add a dimmer switch to increase the versatility of the pendant lights. They can provide either task or mood lighting.
2. Take into account the height of those in your household when deciding how high to hang the pendants. If they are hung too high then you may see a glare from the bulb.
3. Center the fixtures over the counter.
4. Try to find a fixture that can complement the finishes of your faucets, countertops, and cabinets. Mini pendants can tie everything together if chosen carefully.
