how many ceiling fans?
Comments (25)A few people named their climate, finally someone pointed out that the desirability of ceiling fans varies greatly by climate. Yes! Modern Feng Shui, too, no doubt, since it is a very practical discipline--are we talking freezing inland and north China or subtropical south China here? I don't love my ceiling fans for their appearance, frankly, but living in soupy sultry Georgia I do love them. Phoggie, being able to keep the windows open as much as possible, including all night while we sleep, was important to me. The night sounds and breezes here are lovely. Sealed processed air not so much. So for our Georgia home this meant 2 fans on our porch, 2 fans in our good-sized living room, 1 in the kitchen over my work island (blows the onion skins around good) but still close to the table, one in my sitting room, one in each bedroom. Oh, and a very powerful one on the stairwell to keep the hot air from building up above. No fans: Our "dining room" is a central hall/library with the large table normally folded up against a wall, and it didn't feel right to have anything hanging in the middle, so none there (but our small dining/card table in the living room is close to one). I would have put one in our master bath also but wanted a chandelier at least somewhere. I'm not sorry but do feel the lack in the summer. Does any of this survival in the deep South stuff bear any relation to your needs? :)...See MoreLiving room ceiling fan (18' ceiling)
Comments (13)Then I would suggest looking at interesting fans! Not going to come across the way I mean it but There are so many great looking fans that are interesting and functional. The big ass fan will "over power" the room I think in general that is the feeling. I do agree that bigger is better but not industrial lol. I also thnk you need to consider that the fan that is in there now is white and in a sad state so if it where to be darker it would be more impressive/noticeable just in that change Here is my poor attempt at a mock-up....See MoreHow tall to vault a great room-kitchen ceiling in a mountain house
Comments (42)Mtgirlann I'm curious what your final decision was as I am now facing the same decision. My husband wants the vaulted ceiling and I can see the appeal given that we are right up against a mountain so the view will be up close and looking up. Our great room is 32' x 16' with the peak splitting the long side of the room. We could do a 14' peak or 17' peak on the vault. 17' sounds too high but it might look ok proportionally given that the room is quite wide? All the pics I can find online look too high but the rooms aren't as wide and I'm also not sure how tall those ceilings actually are. Any advice is appreciated....See MoreHow many recessed lights in a kitchen with 7 foot ceilings?
Comments (3)Wall sconces are useless for actul task lighting so IMO all pot lights LED 4000K and you need a pot every 4' all around the space and placed so they light the counters and do not create shadows .Any pendants you choose for over the island need to light the island not the ceiling . All walkways should be 48" all base cabinets should be drawers and IMO you never walk past the range to go from fridge to sink I am just guessing about this layout. I sure hope you have an indepedant KD not a cabinet salesperson designing this space. Make sure all the cabinets go to the ceiling too....See Moreladybug A 9a Houston area
