Lighting

Where do you place

a ceiling fan?

Ideally, you’d place a fan in the center of the room. If

the room is not square, use multiple fans and arrange

them equidistant from each other and the walls.

If you have recessed lights, pay particular attention to

the placement of the fan in relation to the lights: A blade

fl itting over the face of a light will cause a strobe eff ect.

Although the optimal placement height varies with

the room, generally set the fan blades 8 to 11 feet from

the fl oor. At a minimum, the blades should be 7 feet

from the fl oor for safety.
