My BM Gentle Cream color is ok but not great, next step???
Comments (5)I guess it all is a matter of taste and bottom line is if you don't like the color the you should change it. But I disagree about a pale yellow color not belonging in a dining room/living room. Have you considered putting up drapes and artwork in the room with the bolder sun drenched colors that you are fond of? Sometimes the less you add of a color, the more punch it has. Or even a large bouquet of dried flowers on the table with those gold/orange/yellow colors....See MoreHELP - trying to maximize natural light in great room w screen porch
Comments (15)@lmkbuild BTW - we're also going to be building in AL and are in a similar solution. Screened in porch off the main living area blocking light. But, we are facing west so likely to get strong sun. You can see pictures of the rear elevation here (https://www.houzz.com/discussions/custom-house-kitchen-feedback-needed-dsvw-vd~5154367). To get more light, we have a dormer situation up top, but also other dormers so it doesn't seem "added in as an afterthought". Not sure how to phrase that without offending you. Not an architect, nor even a designer, but perhaps fake dormers might help?...See MoreDoes my Lighting Layout (Downlights, Fan) look OK?
Comments (4)Thanks for the feedback. I agree taht it would probalby look best with the fan centred in the room, but at least the centre of the room (marked in the diagram) isn't far from the centre of the bed. I'll see what it looks like when I receive the fan. For practical purposes, I might end up centring over the bed so that the fan blades aren't protruding into a traffic area. My ceilings are only 7.50' which means that the fan blades would be at 6.75' from the floor which is a little low but tolerable IMO (especially if it's over a bed).

Comments (2)I have specified this product previously, the stem is available in varying lengths, and it can be controlled by remote, wall switch or both. My client used the fan in a double height space: https://www.bigassfans.com/fans/haiku-l/...See More- 7 years ago
