Kitchen lighting suggestions for over island lights please

[Cloudduster]

Having a new in-frame style wood Tom Howley shaker style kitchen. White quartz with subtle copper vein worktops and splash back and stone coloured cabinets and large bifold door resser. Need probably two pendant style lights for over island, either individual or as one unit. Also matching/complementary larger pendant for over table in another part of kitchen. Any hardware needs to be on burnished copper tones to fit in with worktops, quooker and cabinet/drawer handles. I have had a look at John Lewis etc. but nothing very inspiring. Any help would be much appreciated.

I've recommended Lampsy as a source of nice modern lighting on here before, and their first page comes up with pendants with burnished copper. Their lights are usually on fabric cords, which I think much nicer than plastic. You might need to change the ceiling rose to something nicer, which is straightforward to do. For that I go to Creative Cabling, who supply nice ceramic ceiling roses, if that floats your boat.

I haven't yet tried this company https://lampsmodern.co.uk/collections/ceiling-pendant-light. but I am gagging to incorporate something from them in our next project, which is likely to be our top bathroom.

I like Pooky for lights and we found our kitchen pendants there.

I'm fussy about lighting, but bizarrely I find dunelm quite good for lighting. Ive had some nice stuff from b and q too.

I always think Jim lawerence lighting looks lovely too.

One thing I did was Google lens the expensive lights I liked and found a much cheaper alternative too.

Thank you so much. Does anyone have any photos of what they went for? It is strange because I have been really decisive with everything else with the kitchen and for some reason I am drawing a blank on the lights! I meant to say the island is a mid sagey green colour.

And sorry to use 'nice' four times in my post. If you really want to blow your mind on the possibilities for lighting, try Holloways of Ludlow's site. Most of their stuff is way too spendy for me - but could you be tempted by this sage green pendant to go with your island? (although for some reason the link comes up with lagoon, not tourmaline, which is a sage green)
Or this one www.hollowaysofludlow.com/products/patricia-lobo-ruffo-pendant-light?variant=53995434639745

But as a PP said, expensive designers have their imitators and these are often really good. Anthropologie's lights look nice, for example, and I've seen design bloggers recommend H&M.

One thing I would say is not to be afraid to use a lighting designer. I feel like we didn’t get the lighting for the table area quite right. We used two pendants above the breakfast bar and one above the table and I feel like we could have done with more lighting over the table. There were issues with the ceiling so we had to change our plans but definitely see if you can get some advice.

I just wanted to say thank you all so much for all your suggestions here. I have spent a while going through them all and have decided on a Pooky triple track with antique brass hardware/glass pumpkin lights for above my island and a Jim Lawrence large antique brass pendant light for above my table in a separate space of the kitchen. I would have still been clueless had I not posted on here!

Sounds fabulous!
