Trends of the past were to install down lights that were flush with your ceiling, but now many designers are opting for large hanging fittings as a centerpiece of the room. As you can see below - a light fitting with colour or lines can change the character of any kitchen island.
This light fitting would be great over any kitchen island (or even a breakfast bench) - the stainless steel gives it an interesting contemporary feel. This fitting was designed by Minka and can be purchased through
