Hi lisahicks57, 2 or 3 pendant lights will be ideal in your situation. The only rule I have for choosing a size is as long as they look proportional to the space which depends on your ceiling and island height, and also the style you are looking for. You can purchase a light fixture and test it out in your kitchen first and most retail stores will allow you to return it if you don't like a particular fixture.
