I think that the rooms that are best lit have many light sources and in those spaces people rates use ‘the big light’.
So don’t worry about the ceiling pendant- the reality is that an electrician can move them later if you ever needed to- instead make sure you have enough sockets for standard lamps and table lamps.

You can have 3amp
Sockets dedicated to lights and then have a switch to put them all on- it is quite cool to be able to dim all of your table lights but it’s also quite expensive to instal.

There are also whole room systems installed by lighting specialists where you can change the lighting on an app- this falls into the pricey but very very cool category. This would comprise mainly of LED strip lighting hidden in ceiling bulkheads (so you need plasterwork as well as electricians) but you can then change the lighting as per your mood, I really like that you can follow your circadian rhythms (have whiter light in the morning and yellow light later on to mimic changing sunlight patterns throughout the day) which makes your electric lighting very easy to live with
