Kitchen island lighting

Nazeefa Badshah

We are renovating our home and got our new kitchen cabinets in with the island. The size of the base of island is 3 ft by 8 ft and the counter top will have an overhang along one edge and the length so a total countertop of 4 x 9 ft. Our ceiling is standard 8ft.
I initially bought one long 38inch fixture but I'm beginning to think it's too small so then I thought about 2 larger lanterns and I'm not sure if this will be too big for the room.
Any ideas will be appreciated.

this is the light I initially bought for the island. But I think its going to obstruct the flow of the room and also be not proportioned.

I love these and wanted them to work in my kitchen so badly. I think they would work in yours, not sure if these are your style.

or these: https://www.circalighting.com/harper-pendant-700tdharp/

If neither of these are your style, I'll look for others. Love the pendant in the room on the other side of your kitchen!

Would you say I need 2 of either of the pendants? @megs1030 I saw something similar to what you posted but locally and it was clear glass which I did like.

I'm not a pro, but I would say 3 as they are not that wide and your island is long.
