Sloped Ceiling Adapters

6 years ago

We are working on a renovation and adding a slightly vaulted/sloped ceiling in our entry and dining space. I’m having a hard time finding lighting that explicitly states that it can be hung on a sloped ceiling that I like! Then I found sloped ceiling adapters to add to lighting - any insight or ideas on this? Or insights about flush mounts or chandeliers on sloped ceilings? TIA!

Bev is right -- rods require special treatment for alteration. Even if you can cut one end of one section and not have to deal with threading, you need a clean cut or you will have a mangled rod and/or a messed up finish. The chains will be much easier. You installer should be able to shorten one side on almost any chain. If the available info doesn't tell you that it can be adjusted, contact the manufacturer or have the seller investigate it for you.

Nice fixture, but there isn't an easy way to mount it on a sloped ceiling. You would have to build a structure to mount onto the ceiling that was sloped on top and parallel to the floor on the bottom in order to provide an appropriate mounting surface. Not difficult if you have DIY skills, but not easy if you haven't done something like this before.

I have the same fan in my vaulted ceiling bedroom that czarinalex has. It is Minka Aire's Wave fan. My bedroom is 15x17 and I have the 52" fan which is more than than adequate for the room size at the second speed. I have it in the wood tone in the Distressed Koa finish. It comes in 4 finishes. In my 22'x25' vaulted ceiling great room I have Minka Aire's Artimis 58" three blade fan. It comes with a light but can be installed without it. As with my bedroom fan, it moves the air so well that I never have to set it at more than the second speed. I like the style of it even more than the Wave fan. It also comes in a 62" 5 blade fan. The Artimis collection comes in 7 finishes. Both of my Minka Aire fans are absolutely quiet and have been operating trouble free for 12 years. They look so much better than the builder grade fans they replaced. I still get compliments on them from visitors to my house. Here is the Artimis fan in my great room.

RL Relocation - Thanks, been looking for a pendant, but haven't come across one yet that is short enough and also relates to the sconce. suezbell- Thanks for taking the time to look at my post. I don't think I would have ever come up with either of those options. Creative approaches which I will definitely keep in mind. Thanks. again.
