11 years agoWe are building our house and our builder did the same and when I mentioned it to my hubby, he said it's better that way because if you have seating at the overhang you don't want people hitting their heads to the pendants (they may not actually hit their heads but just nice to have some room)
Our island is 6 feet long without the overhang and 5 feet wide .

11 years agoHad I not made sure mine were centered with the countertop/work surface, the electician would have no doubt centered them over the cabinets themselves. I think most people have overhang on one side only so that's fine in most cases. But we, like yourself, had overhang on the side opposite the range but also on one of the long sides of the island which made the long side asymmetrical. I wanted to make sure my pendants were centered over the island's countertop. Otherwise the lights would be shifted to one side. No one will hit their head on them. That shouldn't even be a concern. Here is ours. See how different it would look if the lights were not over the overhang on the right?

If this is how you want them, you should have them move the lights. It's not that big of a deal to do so. Our electrician didn't center four lights properly in the house which we realized last minute. They fixed it AND the ceiling around it within a day. I would have never known the difference if I wasn't to particular and hadn't already noticed!angie_diy
