Outlet is the general term for any wiring that terminates at a wall or ceiling. Outlet covers can be designed for a receptacle, a switch, a cable, etc. so they can be called receptacle covers, switch covers, etc. If they are plain/undecorated they are often called plates as in "switchplate". So these terms can be used interchangeably or together. Nevertheless the distinction between a lighting outlet and a receptacle outlet is important. The code requires a switched lighting outlet in a habitable room but has an exception allowing it to be a receptacle outlet for "cord connected lighting". This exception is important because it is sometimes deleted by state or local amendments. A switched receptacle should not have a dimmer switch in order to avoid damage to other appliances. Make sure the fan outlet system (hanger brace & box with hook) is labeled as suitable for supporting a fan. If the weight of the fan is greater than 35 lbs., the box must be labeled with the maximum weight it can support (70 lbs. max.)

you guys are so awesome. So much great info, and things I would have never considered. leafy-Thanks for the input...I loved our fan w/lights in our old bedroom, but we had 10 ft ceilings and maybe that extra 2 feet helped. I will take your situation into consideration. stlouie-oooh, that is pretty and sleek and not to obtrusive looking! Iw ill research that a little more. Thanks! writers-I remember you...I think you live near me...I am in Plantation Acres. that fan looks like a MUST HAVE for hurricane season. I am not familiar w/that at all, so thanks for sharing. And good point about the fan and the air going to the edges of the room, I would have never thought of that. thanks vampire...I am going to consider white and also a brown to match the floor. I can not even consider NOT running the A/C during spring/summer. BUT...I try mybest to avoid the heater during the winter, I hate that dry heat...ugh. So you must feel that way about the fale coolness of the A/C.

Have you moved in yet? If so, please show a pic with your furniture in place. If not, here are a couple of ideabooks about lighting plans. https://www.houzz.com/magazine/get-turned-on-to-a-lighting-plan-stsetivw-vs~30716408 https://www.houzz.com/magazine/houzz-planning-how-to-choose-your-bedroom-lighting-stsetivw-vs~440855

I'd keep sepia [?] going, and not add black, the darker option, cause to me it competes with it, and sorta squashes its softness. This might do that, and add headboard's warmth.... nice photo - you and yours? :) [https://www.houzz.com/products/lite-source-ls-22445l-amb-dillian-transitional-table-lamp-prvw-vr~13386237[(https://www.houzz.com/products/lite-source-ls-22445l-amb-dillian-transitional-table-lamp-prvw-vr~13386237)
