1.    To add a little whimsy to the kitchen space, something that’s a little more than just an average island-sized pendant light would do it. For example the trio of Chadwick Island Lights 66145-3 by Landmark Lighting,– their milk-bucket style is simple, but perfect for adding a little pizzazz to a country style kitchen.

2.    For a modern kitchen, something like the Molecular Chandelier 30025/15 from Elk Lighting would be a good choice. Shaped in the form of a molecule and combining a sleek chrome finish with incandescent glass lights, this is much more than just an average island light.

3.    For the urban loft style space, a lighting fixture with a wink and a nod toward upscale nightlife and snazzy hotels would fit, such as the Cortina 12-Light Chandelier 30020/12 by Elk Lighting for instsnce.

5.    Alcohol-inspired island lights are more common than one might think, especially when it comes to the fruit of the vine. The Napa 6-Light Chandelier 15062/6 by Elk Lighting is pure vineyard style, and actually doubles as a wine rack. It has space enough to keep six of the favorite vintages close at hand, along with a full set of wine glasses.
