Selecting a Chandelier... Many people ask what size Chandelier they should get. The answer to that question generally depends on where the chandelier is going to be installed. Once this is determined, use the following guidelines: If you are installing a chandelier in a dining room, the chandelier you select should be about 12 inches narrower than the surface of your dining room table. The positioning of the chandelier should also allow for at least 4 feet of space from the room’s walls. This gives the appearance that it fills the space but does not overcrowd it. When installing a chandelier in an entryway or living room you want to allow 2-3 inches in chandelier height for every foot of ceiling height. Thus, a 10-foot ceiling would require a 30-inch design. In order to determine the proper width needed, you will need to add the length and width of your room and convert the total to inches. Thus, a room that is 14-feet by 16 feet would require a chandelier that is approximately 30 inches wide.

Adding a ceiling fan to a living room, dining room, bedroom, or other areas of your home is an excellent way to add style and at the same time add utility. Ceiling fans come in a wide variety of styles, materials, designs, and colors. Many of our ceiling fans also incorporate lighting into their design. Ceiling fans move air, they do not change its temperature. The direction in which the blades rotate and the pitch of the fan blades dictate whether the fan assists with heatin...g or cooling a room. Most modern ceiling fans are mechanically reversible and have a switch on the casing that controls the direction of the motor. During the summer, you will want to set the motor so that the air is forced downward. The blades of the fan should spin with the upturned side leading. The wind gusts created by a ceiling fan assist human skin evaporate perspiration, increasing the efficiency of the body’s natural cooling mechanism. In the winter, you will want to set your fan to turn in the opposite direction. By turning on the ceiling fan to the lowest setting, it will draw the cool air up from the floor and push the warm air down. This helps keep the room’s temperature more even. You may even be able to turn your heating system down a few degrees and maintain the same level of comfort.

In the bathroom, you need lots of light that is even, shadow-free for everyday grooming, and applying makeup. Small bathrooms highlight, the need for mirror lights that will illuminate the entire room. In larger bathrooms, additional ceiling fixtures are needed for general lighting. Wall-Mounted Fixtures can furnish great accent lighting. These are often used for lighting at the bathroom mirror. They are available with a choice of incandescent, tungsten-halogen, and energy-ef...ficient compact fluorescent bulbs. Tub and Shower Tub and shower enclosures can be adequately lighted by placing an enclosed damp-location recessed downlight in the ceiling. These downlights are also recommended over whirlpool baths or in saunas. Today, recessed lights are not only functional but decorative as well. Large Mirror Fixtures equipped with standard incandescent, xenon, or halogen bulbs behind glass globes provide the most flattering light. If you opt for more energy-efficient fluorescents, choose warm white tones. They come closest to the color of incandescents. Small Mirror For small mirrors, decorative wall brackets on each side will illuminate both sides of your face evenly. You can also mount a wall bracket across the top of the mirror. A combination of the two will give you the most desirable light possible.
