1. Use a bendable Rail System - The power supply can be installed anywhere along the rail, simply bend the rail to center the system above the table. Hang some pendants or spots and you're done.

2. If the outlet is only off by a few inches, move it over. Then cover the new outlet with a medallion large enough to cover the old hole. This is an easy fix, and you avoid replastering and painting.

Ceiling fans come in many styles and finishes to suit any decor.  Here are some basic tips on choosing your fan.

Choose a better quality fan. They will not wobble or hum much, if at all; and they tend to have larger motors so the blade pitch can be greater and will move more air.

Check your electrical box.  Mounting a fan on a well secured box or fan brace will greatly reduce wobble.

Most electrical ceiling boxes are wired for light fixtures and contain only one circuit. That's OK if you don't need a light and a fan controlled separately.  Some fans have pull-chains to independently control light and fan functions;  some are equipped with remote or wall controls that send signals to a switching circuit within the fan - this is a slightly more expensive option.  One thing to note: never use a lighting dimmer to control your fan - they are not rated for motor loads.

The direction of the fan should be reversed in winter time.  In summer it should go forward or counter-clockwise, and the opposite in winter in order to move warm air down off of the ceiling.  This will help circulate the warm air and reduce heating bills. 

When positioning your fan, ensure the blades are not near existing light fixtures such as recessed lighting as this will cause a strobe effect.

The size of the room will determine the size of the fan.   For small rooms under 80sf, a 30" blade span is recommended.  For rooms approximately 100sf, use a 36" fan.  For rooms around 150sf, use a 42" fan; and for rooms larger than 225sf, use a fan with greater than 50" blade span.  (The smallest dimension of larger rooms should be greater than 12' when using larger than 42" fans)

The height of the ceiling fan is determined by the height of the room.  A ceiling fan's blades should not be lower than 7' 9" from the floor (this is roughly the height using the small downrod supplied with most fans).  Here is a calculation you can use to determine downrod length: Calculate the height of the ceiling minus 10 feet, and divide by two, than add one foot.  (So, on a 16' ceiling, take 16ft-10ft which is 6 feet. Half of 6 feet is 3 feet, then add a foot to make 4 feet.  This is the size of downrod you require: 4ft rod on 16ft ceiling.)  This calculation works up to about 20 foot high ceilings, which would use a 6ft downrod.  In cases where, for various design reasons,  you would like the fan lower, you can safely come down to a minimum of 10 feet of the floor for higher ceilings.

Be careful using an indoor fan in a damp location (such as an indoor spa/pool area) as the components are not designed to withstand the moisture.  For these and exterior areas, use a fan rated for exterior use.  These fans are designed to be weatherproof and have composite blades that will not warp or rot.
