Pretty Patricia! Where did you find that? Wonder how big it is? This is what I found after digging a bit on sizes "When you donÂt have a table to help you determine the width of the chandelier you need for a room, you base the size on the overall room dimensions. One easy favorite that rarely fails is to add the width and length of the room together in feet and convert that figure to inches to come up with the correct width of the chandelier. For example, if an Entry Hall is only 8 x 6Â, you would add 8 + 6 together which equals 14, but instead of 14 feet, it would indicate that a 14" diameter chandelier would work best. If a room is larger, say 10 x 18Â, you would figure the diameter of the chandelier by the following formula: 10 + 18 = 28 (Therefore, a 28" diameter chandelier would fit the room proportionately.) It makes sense that the higher the ceiling the taller the chandelier should be so that it will look balanced in the room. Many Designers follow the rule of allowing 2 ½"  3" for each foot of a rooms height. Using this calculation, a room that has an 8 ceiling can use a chandelier that is approximately 20" to 24" in height. If the ceiling is 10 feet high, than a light fixture that is 25" to 30" would look more appropriate. The chandelier in a Foyer or Entry Hall should be hung centered in the room with the bottom of the fixture no lower than 7' from the floor. 7' is the absolute minimum to allow for head clearance. If you have a tall ceiling you should follow a rule of thumb of at least 7' 6" from the floor to the bottom of the light fixture. "

whenicit, Thanks, but I need LOTS of help! The other advantage to the 2nd layout in BR1 is that the headboard is rather high and if I put it along the wall, it won't block the windows which would probably be better. I'll see about adding seating when I get the beds assembled. We may have room and it would give me a project to scour antique shops. That is what I'm planning on doing for a nightstand in the second bedroom. A little shabby/chic, beachy. I was going to look through some "Real Simple" magazines for inspiration. I'm not sure exactly what I want yet, but I though a "weathered" table, perhaps in a fun color, would go nicely with the iron bed. ajsmama, Thank you for the suggestion on BR1. I agree that swaping the nightstand is much better. On BR2, I think I could move the dresser closer to the door. The only think I actually don't like about the dresser in that position in general is that I'm not fond of the look of it from the side, but no mater how far forward or backward it is, I'm going to have that problem... Thanks for all you help! Jaymie

I have a very rough sketch to share with you. I hope you can read my handwriting :-) In general, space your can lights evenly around the majority area of the room. Try to line them up with things that are symmetrical, whether that’s the doorways or the windows. I would center the chandelier in the middle of the bed. It can be closer to the headboard or the end of the bed, doesn’t really matter. You can do whatever you want, that’s what I love about design!

Yes, a flush mount or semi-flush mount would be the best for an 8 foot ceiling. As far as width, for the size of your room I’d say 20” is the smallest I would go and up to 30”. Since your room is on the smaller side, I would go smaller rather than bigger, so that the space doesn’t get filled up by a giant light fixture J Here are a couple lights that would work well: https://www.lightingparadise.com/ceiling-lighting/semi-flush-mount/crystorama-9507-ab-ceiling-luxo-5-light-ceiling-mount.html https://www.lightingparadise.com/ceiling-lighting/flush-mount/dainolite-mya-26fh-maya-8-light-flush-mount.html
