What do you have above your kitchen island?

What do you have above your kitchen island?

There used to be a pot rack over our island that the previous owners took with them. I don't want a pot rack, but do I need to put something up there? I was thinking pendant lights would look nice, but there's already recessed lighting over the island so unless we got rid of those lights I think it would be too much. Would it look like something is missing if I don't put anything up there? I only have a before pic with the pot rack still up.

I think pendant lighting would look nice. Home Depot and Lowe's sells kits to switch from recessed to pendant lighting. It looks fairly easy to do.

pot rack. If I didn't have that, I would go with ornamental pendant lighting. I like that look as well.

There are some really beautiful options out there. I personally love wrought iron pot racks. Here's a link to really pretty island lighting options.....island lighting

I have recessed lighting. My island is right in the center of my kitchen and I also have an atrium in the kitchen. I felt that although the room is big, anything directly over the island would chop up the room. I do have pendant lighting in the atrium.
