How many pendant lights do I need for an 8' dining table?
Comments (0)Hi, We have a 3'x8' dining table in our formal dining room. We are thinking of Fucsia Suspension lights. They come in groups of 1, 3, 8, 12 pendants to a group. So to provide enough lights for the dining table do we go with two groupings of 'Fucsia Three Light Suspension Lamp' (see link below) OR one set of 'Fucsia Eight Light Suspension Lamp' http://www.ylighting.com/fuscia8.html OR single pendants - if so how many? Is there a formula? Thanks Here is a link that might be useful: Lights...See MoreHow many storage closets do I need in my house?
Comments (14)This is hard one. New home build has.. (small farmhouse) We have a pantry and a tall pantry cabinet too.. pantry has vaccum & brushes. We have a small hallway between rooms that has space for officey stuff, charging, counter for snacks for party.. but mostly printer and laptop support stuff.. upper cabinets. We have a dresser in the small main floor bath instead of closet. We have a shoe closet because we like Japan style. We have a large nice coat closet plus a simple mud room with hooks at another entrance and farm boots. we have a homeschool supply cabinet/a matching one for coat closet we have a linen closet/built in in the hallway upstairs that is actually a basecabinet with wood counter and a upper wall cabinet built in (like office hallway) we have a full linen closet outside of bathroom door on this level too sharing the upstairs vac/broom and cleaning supplies we have a shallow shelf with sliding doors in upstairs bath for small items but not a fan of cloth hanging out in the bathroom.. in hallway. interestingly we don't have closets for the kids yet. We want an easy layout with what we have with windows and doors.. vents.. going modern and growing with them style.. we have are farmers but we have a 4' wide door in BR with another 4' wide open curtain place for me.. I like tall dressers and need more places for folding, jeweler and underwear.. have nice pieces that do best folded.. hate closet systems, want light and pretty space instead. Velvet curtains ;) basment is full! We have a plan for dedicated and double checked (insects and others) but want true dressers indtead of tubs and wall stuff. Want to sew and love basement.. don't want walls covered.. want art and more fancy room stuff in basement. Going for dressers for Christmas, sweaters.. and sometimes buffet peices.. do not want a Rubbermaid look! I want to do something amazing with my basement too.. not sure exactly but more living room, play room, art studio with storage much lower than normal storage rooms. Also having a vac & broom in the have closet....See MoreHow many BTU's do I need for my 18 sq meter room?
Comments (3)Are you not the same one that tigerdunes told "not a choice that I like, but you could always consider a small window unit. First though, I would ask installing dealer to come out and make a recommendation."?

Comments (7)General rule: divide the ceiling height by 2 and that tells you yow far apart to place them (5 feet in your case.) Also to prevent shadows, mount them 3 feet from walls. As for placement, if you have any special focal point other than the pool table, start by highlighting that area (maybe a bar, or a seating area.) Lay out your furniture placement first and see what needs lighting in order to both function and look good....See Moreweedyacres
