How do I install a ceiling fan like this?The ceiling in my kitchen is lower than the rest of the house so regular fan would not work. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you
You might be able to install a hugger fan. Make sure it's installed on a ceiling joist. I agree with Kelli, the photo has a raised ceiling. There are several versions of low profile ceiling fans.
The picture is of a tray ceiling. If you have a floor above your kitchen, you won't be able to install one. If it's just attic, it's probably possible, but will cost quite a bit. I suggest you look into hugger fans where the motor installs directly on the ceiling. This is just a quick search to show you what I mean and give you a start. Be sure to check how high they are to make sure they fit with your low ceiling. I don't know if a light is such a good idea.

That's not just a fan it's an entire ceiling system that is about 2 feet taller in center
But you can't use that space it's what is holding up the floor upstairs or attic. The joists are only 8 to 12 inches anyway. You need about 2 feet.

Another option would be a fan that is encased in the light, like this:

If you are female, pay someone to do it. Or go to youtube. They seem to have videos on everything you could think of.
I agree the photo is a tray ceiling. A photo of yours would help. But more likely it wouldn't work unless your ceiling is raised.
