I have a really very substantial square-ish central island, and the light above it has come a cropper. It was a square frame suspended on wires with a spotlight mounted on each side of the frame. I didn't really like it, but I really need the light, the rest of the lighting in the kitchen is gloomy.
Lighting inspiration for kitchen islands seems to assume that they are long and thin, with lovely rows of pendants above. This won't work. I don't see anything in the same style as the old light in my local lighting stores.
Do you like your island lighting? Any ideas? Could I just stick one massive pendant up there?
