The way we fix this problem when making our custom lighting is to make our top canopy large enough to go in the center, but to be able to cover the junction box. You can use any of our pendant lights and we can put multiple ones on a single canopy to go over the island. A single long canopy would probably look best. You can make it with about 2 or 3 pendants for a simple look, or multiple pendants for a full chandelier, or a single long pendant depending on the style you like.

If you get a small flush mount fixture, it should be OK. Another solution would be to get a pendant fixture and swag the chain/cord over to the center of the island. I once had this problem in a client's dining room. We installed a chandelier centered over the table and used a ceiling medallion to hide the off-centered junction box. Does that make sense?

I have two ideas, one is a white globe lamp, the other is a modern track system that will help you high light the art and fireplace. either will work. the ones i pictured are from Ikea, but im not sure if you have access to them. or a lighting showroom?

What about one of our Decanter Table Lamps. Elegant and perfect for romantic style interiors. Feel free to take a look at our website for more lighting ideas: www.litecraft.co.uk
