Decide how much light you need and find a pendant light that offers multiple bulb placements or one main base for illumination.

You can offer low light during the night, or increase the lighting capabilities during a large dinner party.

They can be somewhat pricey but will offer a lifetime of sophistication and beauty in the room it is placed in.
