Pick an enamel colour and a cord length on this illustrative cone pendant with a rolled rim, and the summary shows the version you would order.
Kitchen pendants are bought in pairs or threes, almost always to hang over a table or island. The colour decision is made against the cabinetry: bottle green beside painted oak, pale grey against a stone worktop, warm white in a farmhouse room. The cord decision is about ceiling height. A cottage with low beams and a barn conversion need very different drops, and buyers often only notice when the electrician arrives.

Illustrative product. The design and images are generated examples, not a real model for sale.
What you can configure
Warm white, black, bottle green and pale grey are shown. Ochre and navy complete the six enamels. Each image holds the same angle, so the satin surface and rolled rim read consistently between colours. Cord length, 1.5 or 3 m, is captured in the summary without altering the picture. A production build might instead show the pendant at two drop heights over a table.
- Colour: Warm White, Black, Bottle Green, Pale Grey
- Cord: 1.5 m, 3 m
Why a configurator suits pendants
Twelve variants sounds modest, but kitchen buyers multiply it by two or three because they order sets. The real question is how a pair looks over their own table, and a single product shot on white cannot answer it. Showing the chosen colour paired in a kitchen scene does most of the selling.
Cord length is the hidden return. A 3 m cord can be shortened by an electrician; a 1.5 m cord in a tall room cannot be stretched. A configurator that asks for ceiling height and what the pendants hang over can recommend the length and explain why. It removes the most avoidable reason a kitchen pendant comes back.
Enamel colours also need care online. Bottle green in particular shifts with the light, and the satin surface changes how glossy it looks. Retailers who sell paint-led kitchens can link enamel colours to the cabinet colours they already show, so buyers coordinate lighting with the kitchen in one place.
How a production version would be built
An image-based build fits a kitchen pendant well. One studio image per enamel colour, plus a kitchen scene where pairs and trios of the chosen colour are composited over a table, covers both product and context. Cord length is shown with a simple elevation diagram rather than separate photography. The retailer supplies colour names, cord lengths, lamp holder type and multipack pricing if pairs are discounted. Orders go to the basket as normal, with quantity set by the number of drops chosen.
Build sheet for this range
- Colours in the full range: 6 (4 shown in this demo)
- Cord choices: 2
- Combinations to support: 6 × 2 = 12
- Images for one photograph per combination at 3 angles: 36
- Images if cord lengths can be shown as separate layers, at 3 angles: 24
- Data each of the 12 combinations needs: a SKU or variant ID, price, stock or lead time, and any dimensions or specification that change
Questions about pendant configurators
Can the configurator show two or three pendants hanging over an island?
Yes. After choosing the colour, the buyer picks how many drops, and the scene updates to show one, two or three pendants over a table or island. Spacing can follow a simple rule based on island length, which also gives the electrician a useful starting point for the ceiling positions.
Which cord length should we recommend for a typical kitchen ceiling?
That depends on your customers' ceiling heights and how low you advise hanging the shade over a worktop. The configurator can apply your guidance: take ceiling height, subtract the hanging height and the shade itself, and recommend the cord that leaves enough slack. Buyers in tall rooms are steered to the longer option.
Can we suggest enamel colours that suit common kitchen cabinet colours?
Yes. A short list of cabinet finishes, such as painted green, grey or natural oak, can each suggest two or three enamel colours that work with them. It is a merchandising rule, not a technical one, so your team can change it each season without any development work.
How much does a kitchen pendant configurator cost?
There is no fixed price. It depends on how many pendants and colours you carry, whether you want room scenes as well as studio images, and where orders need to go. My configurator cost guide sets out what affects the budget, and I reply to enquiries within two UK working days.
