Ceiling Fan Tips

Ceiling Fan Tips General Ceiling Height Tip For ceilings at any height, we recommend that your ceiling fan be installed with the blades suspended 7’ to 9’ above the floor for optimum performance. 8 Foot Ceilings For 8-foot ceilings, we recommend flush-mounted ceiling fans. Fans that sit flush to the ceiling can be approximately 4″-6″ shorter than standard dowrodded fans. 8 Foot Ceilings For 8-foot ceilings, we recommend flush-mounted ceiling fans. Fans that sit flush to the ceiling can be approximately 4″-6″ shorter than standard dowrodded fans. 9 Foot Ceilings For 9-foot ceilings, we recommend fans with a downrod length between 4″ and 8″. Installing the blades further away from the ceiling allows for more air circulation and fan efficiency. 10+ Foot Ceilings For ceilings 10-feet or taller, we recommend adding additional downrod lengths of 12″, 18″, 24″, 36″, 48″, 60″ or 72″.  10+ Foot Ceilings For ceilings 10-feet or taller, we recommend adding additional downrod lengths of 12″, 18″, 24″, 36″, 48″, 60″ or 72″.  BACK TO ALL TIPS

Wall Light Tips

Wall Light Tips Beside a Bathroom Mirror To evenly illuminate a bathroom mirror from either side, we recommend mounting your sconce(s) just above eye level, or about 60″- 65″ from the floor to the center height of the sconce backplate. Above a Bathroom Mirror The ideal linear bath light will measure at least 3/4 the width of the mirror but not extend over its edges. For larger mirrors, consider mounting a pair of evenly-spaced linear sconces.

In a Hallway When installing multiple wall sconces to accent a hallway, dining room or other living space, consider leaving a minimum of 8′- 10′ between each fixture for a balanced spread of light. Beside the Bed If your sconce has a switch, be sure to install it where it can be easily reached from a sitting position in the bed. For best results, leave approximately 55″- 60″ of space from the floor to the top of the sconce.

Ceiling Light Tips

Ceiling Light Tips Above a Kitchen Island We recommend installing ceiling fixtures 30″-36″ from the surface of your kitchen island. When installing multiple fixtures, the widest part of the fixtures should be spaced a minimum of 30″ apart for optimal airflow, light spread, and visibility. Linear Fixtures Above a Surface The key to sizing an elongated light fixture is proportion. We recommend selecting a light measuring no more than 2/3 the length of the table or island. Consider hanging a pair of linear fixtures to light extra long surfaces. Linear Fixtures Above a Surface The key to sizing an elongated light fixture is proportion.

Ralph Lauren Creates a Sense of Place

Ralph Lauren Creates a Sense of Place To celebrate a new book remembering four decades of Ralph Lauren Home, we’re taking a look back at four of the designer’s most timeless styles. “What I do is about living. It’s about living the best life you can and enjoying the fullness of the life around you—from what you wear, to the way you live, to the way you love. Our homes are a canvas for living. Whether we live in the city, the country, on a farm, at the beach, in a penthouse or cabin, each is home and tells our story. And just as we dress differently in each of these places, we want to live differently as well.” – Ralph Lauren, A Way of Living When Ralph Lauren launched his namesake home collection in 1983, he broadened the lens of his lifestyle brand and pioneered a new path forward, a path that would eventually include a celebrated lighting collection with The Home Magzine. In a new book, A Way of Living, Lauren reflects on his forty-year journey through the world of home – and just as with his runway presentations, his aesthetic details are deeply rooted. With references ranging from English country houses to sleek cityscapes to old Hollywood to the rugged individualism of American West, Lauren manages to put his best foot forward every time. Read on for style notes on how to achieve Ralph Lauren’s most iconic looks, no matter where you are. A Tradition Of Ease Time-honored craftsmanship lends staying power to classic silhouettes. At Ralph Lauren, a collected approach is more than the sum of its parts. A modern approach to estate means embracing seeming contradictions (polish and patina, tradition and newness) to achieve a result that champions craft and classicism for modern living. “There is a way of living with a certain grace and beauty. It is not a constant race for what is next but, rather, an appreciation of that which has come before.” Here, take the long view with leather accents, modern silver touches that gleam in candlelight, and glass and brass elements meant to illuminate and inspire. A Modern Attitude Streamlined design elevates minimalist textures and tones for the ultimate artistic expression. For Ralph Lauren, downtown living is a vehicle for sophisticated self-expression – an open-ended invitation to reinvent and reinterpret, a streamlined showcase for texture, tone, material, and a dynamic and personal statement of freedom, “When we think of downtown living, we think of places that are offbeat, artistic, cool, and modern. How we live is not about downtown or uptown but about creating an environment that is personal and reflects who we are and how we want to live.” With clean lines, high-shine accents, industrial touches, and neutral palettes, these elements prove that amid the bustle of the city, less can be so much more. Relaxed Charm Recalling the charm of a country retreat, vintage-inspired furnishings add a touch of lived-in warmth. Town and country have always lived in harmony in the world of Ralph Lauren.

Polished Sophistication A cinematic vision inspired by the graphic elegance of art deco and the allure of old Hollywood. Ralph Lauren is collected, nostalgic, and cool – and don’t forget the uptown polish. Glamour and old Hollywood touches are essential pillars of the brand’s DNA, helping to establish a timeless mood and set the stage for a new era of storytelling. “The bold artistry of an art deco vase, an ornately carved antique gilt mirror, the view at night of the sparkling top of the Chrysler Building, or a timeless love scene from Casablanca is all it takes to inspire the story of an entire collection.” Marked by sleek architectural lines, bold proportions, elegant austerity, and a limited palette, this vision of cosmopolitan life is steeped in romance and silver-screen style. It is a study in confident luxury. Shop the Ralph Lauren lighting collection. SHOP NOW
