McKinney Court Gray Pendant

For a standard 6-foot island, we recommend hanging two or three of these 11-inch pendants to ensure even light distribution and visual proportion. Because of the distinct leaf-shaped metal shade, these fixtures create a strong silhouette; spacing them approximately 24 to 30 inches apart (measured from the center of each light) provides a professional, high-end aesthetic. In larger open-concept spaces, hanging a trio of these pendants can help anchor the kitchen area and reinforce the "tropical flair" mentioned in the design.

As a single-light fixture, this pendant is ideal for creating a warm, focused "vintage style" glow in smaller entryways or foyers. For grander entrances with higher ceilings or larger square footage, we recommend layering this piece with other light sources, such as wall sconces, or hanging multiple pendants at staggered heights. The unique aged gray-green finish and rust accents make it a standout "visual centerpiece" that immediately establishes a home’s character at the front door.

This fixture is specifically recommended for bathroom use in its product description, making it a versatile choice for vanities or powder rooms. Its solid metal construction is naturally resilient; however, for any lighting in high-humidity areas, we suggest ensuring the space is well-ventilated to preserve the integrity of the aged gray-green and rust finish over time. For homes in coastal climates where salt air can be a factor, regular dusting with a soft cloth will help maintain the vintage patina.

Yes, this metal pendant is exceptionally well-suited for task lighting. Unlike glass shades that diffuse light in all directions, the opaque metal construction of this petal-shaped fixture focuses the light downward. This makes it a high-performance choice for illuminating kitchen islands or prep stations where direct, concentrated light is essential for visibility. Additionally, the metal surface is durable and easier to wipe clean of kitchen grease or dust compared to more delicate materials.

This is a hardwired lighting fixture that requires direct connection to your home’s electrical system. For safety and to ensure the 11-inch petal shade is perfectly leveled, we strongly recommend installation by a professional electrician. The fixture also requires some customer assembly. Because it is a suspended pendant, it is a smart solution for rooms with various ceiling heights where you want to draw the eye upward and add architectural interest without taking up valuable floor space.
