I love industrial too it's raw.. clean lines..our place used to be a shop..terrace out the front then they built an extension out the back to house the printers..hence the high ceilings..we visited Japan just before renovating this place thus the Japan render..pendants were made by one of our client to say thank you..court yard etc

I think you're right, you'll have to move the light if you want to put in a fan. Why do you think you need the fan? There might be another option.

Personally I would go with a fan because in summer when the mozzies or the flies are out having a fan on is useful for comfort. A light will just draw mosquitos in. If you want a nice hanging feature you can always suspend an object D'Art in a corner out there to give the same impression. Or you can screen your alfresco area in and enjoy a pendant light. I have the same thing on my house a beautiful alfresco area that I've decided to screen in for several reasons, one being the insects. Nothing worse than being eaten alive during a dinner party and needing to move the party indoors as a result.

We have just been through this. The fans are pretty much mandatory in our climate. I agree that the fans with lights are ugly - the lighting is also terrible and a lot of them are designed so it is very difficult to change the globe. In our bedroom, we put a fan in the middle of the ceiling, with a downlight in one corner (which we only use when we need bright light) and lamps on our bedside tables. We haven't found that we needed more than that. I was like you and wanted a pendant but couldn't find the right one so the downlight went in as a temporary measure. Once the right pendant appears, it will look beautiful in that corner. I have bright lighting in the ensuite and WIR and the bedroom is really only used for sleeping so no need to over-illuminate. In our lounge, we put a fan in the centre of the room and used wall sconces that wash light up the walls. I then have a lamp over the piano and for when we do puzzles and need more light.
