How many, and how low
| Where | How many and at what height |
|---|---|
| Over a dining table | One centred fixture, or two to three in a row on a long table. Hang the bottom 75cm to 90cm above the tabletop, about 150cm to 165cm from the floor. |
| Over a kitchen island | Two for an island under 1.8m, three for 1.8m to 2.4m. Space them about 75cm apart, with at least 15cm between the end pendant and the end of the island. Bottom sits 165cm to 180cm from the floor. |
| Bedside | A pair, hung so the bottom is roughly 100cm to 120cm from the floor, which frees the space a table lamp would occupy. |
| Stairwell or entrance | A single long-drop pendant, or a staggered cluster. Keep the lowest point at least 210cm above the highest stair tread. |
Lighting a 3-bedroom apartment
A typical Lagos three-bedroom needs roughly seven to nine pendants if you use them as the main decorative layer: two or three over the dining table, two or three over the kitchen island or breakfast bar, and a bedside pair in the main bedroom. At the ₦120,000 median that is around ₦840,000 to ₦1,080,000, and closer to ₦600,000 if you stay in the ₦85,000 band. Most schemes mix pendants with a chandelier in the living room and wall lights in the hallways.

Pendant or chandelier for my dining room?
Size to the table either way. Below a 3.2m ceiling a pendant or a row of pendants suits most dining rooms and costs considerably less. Above 3.2m a chandelier fills the vertical space better, because a single pendant looks stranded in the volume.
