For our parlor floor living room renovation, a typical rectangular config, we just installed two ceiling points of light. I want ceiling fans but my wife makes the point that chandeliers give a much richer look and the lights on the fans tend to not be the brightest (since we don’t also have high hats). Question 1 – do most people always match the two fixtures in a room? The room itself will be separated functionally, with a sitting area on the front side and a tv/couch area on the other. So I think having a nice light fixture in the front, with a fan/fixture in the back might work. 2 – do people here think the fans really do save energy and help cool? 3 – for our garden floor, where ceilings are just about 8ft only, do you think a low slung fan can work in each bedroom or is that ceiling height too low? Thanks and happy new year.
