Ceiling Fans Circulating Style

The gentle breeze of circulating air has a way of making a room feel comfortable and inviting. Ceiling fans make a stylish and functional addition to any living area or bedroom. Selecting the right ceiling fan for the space requires considering a few key features.

Types of Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fans are categorized in a couple of different styles, each of which offers a variety of design benefits. Consider the needs of the room and select a fan type that accommodates those requirements.

Ceiling Fans without Lights

Enjoy a streamlined look without light by selecting a ceiling fan design without a light kit.

Hugger Fans

Low ceilings can still enjoy the benefits of a ceiling fan when you utilize the low-profile design of a hugger fan. These fans mount close to the ceiling to minimize the space they consume.

Ceiling Fans with Integrated Lights

Illuminate the room while controlling temperature by opting for a ceiling fan with an integrated light kit in the center.

Outdoor Ceiling Fans

The humidity and moisture outside require a ceiling fan designed to hold up to the elements. Outdoor ceiling fans are easy to install over a deck or patio and boast durable materials that won't warp or rust.

Ceiling Fans with LED Lights

Enjoy comfort and energy efficiency by selecting a ceiling fan outfitted with LED lights. LED bulbs use a fraction of the electricity of a standard incandescent bulb, making them a great way to lower the monthly energy bill when used throughout the home. LED lights don't require frequent changes, making these ceiling fans ideal for high ceilings that are hard to reach.

Ceiling Fans with Remote Controls

Change up the speed of your light kit and turn the light on and off with ease by installing a ceiling fan with a remote control or wall control unit.

Ceiling Fan Features to Consider

After selecting the type of ceiling fan needed, take close look at the style, color, and special features offered by the fans to hone in on the one that elevates the design of your space.

Room Size

The size of the room goes a long way toward determining the proper ceiling fan size. Discover the square footage of the room by multiplying the length of the room in feet by the width of the room in feet. While reviewing the fan specifications, pay note to the size of the motor, amperage, and cubic feet per minute (CFM). The CFM is a helpful measurement of the air flow delivered by the fan at top speed, which helps to indicate the effectiveness of the fan in different size rooms.

Blade Span

Whether adding a single fan to a room or a couple of fans, the blade span becomes an important factor. They can range from as little as 29 inches in diameter or extend to more than 54 inches for larger airflow coverage areas.

Style

Evaluate the overall style of the home and the room itself. Narrow the search for the perfect fan by choosing a style that matches the existing furnishings, and it will further elevate the design.

Finish

Ceiling fans come in a wide array finish options. Choose a color close to that of the ceiling or room accents to make the fan blend into the design. Selecting a finish with bold contrast makes it a fashionable focal point of the room.

Last Minute Tips for Choosing the Right Ceiling Fan

When narrowing down the final selections, check out the brand of the fixture and take into consideration the included warranty or additional special features of the design. Dimmable lights, reversible motors, and mounts designed for sloped ceilings are all customization options to choose between when looking for the perfect fan.
