Recently I was Bangalore looking for some interesting pendant lighting and dining lamps, I found a variety of new ceiling fans cum light. They came in modern and rustic finishes. Some Italian and German makes very fab but expensive, you can find indigenous ones which are cost effective and efficient.

All are morden Hanging light

Suraj, If you have access to the room that you shared earlier you can try seeing the flicker effect at night time with both lights and fan being on. If the lamp has a 360 degree light spread it will cast the fans shadow on the ceiling and when the fan is turned on it causes a flikr effect. I personally find it a distraction and at the same time many would not even notice it. Take the pick based on your usage. Wall mounted fans and recessed fans can also be explored. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.

there are too many recessed lights in your foyer. the color temperature is also white which is not recommended for foyers. Warm white with temperature around 2700 - 3000 k i will prefer. other then that a chandelier can be an excellent option in the foyer. consider either contemporary chandeliers or Sputnik chandeliers.
