However, I would consider one of two options

1- no pendants at all.

2- make a straight island and do two or three large pendants.

My reason for the above suggestion is the current light set up accentuates the pendants. And limits the size.

Thank you for the reply. I agree that the current island limits the size of the pendants. But ripping out a perfectly good granite island to get bigger pendants. . . Ah, no. And I would lose some of the island seating which we use VERY frequently.

um.. dont go clear you will loose valuable light. those are line voltage pendants from cal lighting, you could just change the glass.https://www.calighting.com/up-1037-6-ru-up-1037-6-ru.html

I think they were from that series.

just order the whole light

Perhaps just updating the paint color and pendant lights will help lighten the space. Below are a few of our kitchen designs. Please notice the pendant lights used.
