Help complimenting windmill fans

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

We are in process of building a craftsman style lake home and I am starting to shop for ceiling fan and lighting. We have selected 2 windmill fans for the great room ( rub oil bronze and sort of a drift wood blade color). I am uncertain as to what type of dining room chandelier and island lighting I should be considering - I want to make sure it compliments as the area is very open. The kitchen island will be 3’x6’ . I’ve not decided on the shape of the table that will go in dining area but would like to keep that open so want a chandelier that would work well over any shape table. Recommendations appreciated.

Here’s a few pictures and a bit more detail. Architect recommended to two 52” fans in that main living area and I’ve currently selected the windmill fans (photo) . Ceilings are 9’. Style - will end up being a combination of craftsman, farmhouse, coastal and it is a lake house. The 12ft slider in main living area will open onto a covered porch. Kitchen cabinet will be white shaker and the counter top Golden Gate quartz.

The lights simply need to suit the size of island, the size of table and the HOUSE and your kitchen style.

There are at least a billion pendants and chandeliers available in ORB. A six foot island can take no more than two pendants at no more than ten inch width. Or three at less than that width. Or a single linear at 36inches. You can also use a black iron. You don't need exact matches to fans,

Post the fan you selected, and it is very important to know your ceiling heights at island and dining.

You haven't enough information provided to intelligently advise, right down to how "craftsman" you want your home to feel............

Cabinet style, flooring, finishes, wood trim? Painted? What?

Dying to see what an indoor "windmill" fan is.

I think I have found the pendants that I would like to use over my island and sink... but there is not a matching chandelier.

Any thoughts or suggestions on what would go nicely with these pendants. This pendant is Bay Court from Progressive Lighting. I’m thinking 2 over my 6 foot island and 1 to hang over my sink ( the window there is 3x5).

I will be buying a dining table... most likely 7’ x 3.5 or 4’. Any ideas for chandelier to compliment these pendants and the windmill fan. Details and room layout at beginning of this thread.
