How to Choose the Best Modern Ceiling Fans
Enhance your home’s decor with a stylish ceiling fan. Unique ceiling fans are useful for removing humidity and creating a gentle breeze. Some are even style pieces in their own right. Or, make the most of your light fittings by installing ceiling fans with lights. Whatever you’d like to achieve with your new fan, it pays to take a few things into consideration:
Size - While unique ceiling fans are great at cooling and keeping the air fresh in your home, it’s best to make sure you have enough space for them before you get to the installation phase. Make sure the room is tall enough to fit in a fan. You don’t want anyone to get hit with a blade when they take their jumper off!
Material - Cheap ceiling fans are normally made of a combination of metals (usually steel) and plastics. Many ceiling fans with lights have similar materials but also offer a lighting feature. Another popular fan material is wood, which is used for the blades.
Color - Color is a key factor in choosing your brand-new ceiling fans with lights. Use a color that matches the existing design of the room. You can choose an accent color or just go for a glossy paint. If you want to repaint the blades, this is an easy DIY job.
Style - Fans come in a wide variety of styles so you’re sure to find the right one for your home. Popular styles include industrial, modern, traditional, and rustic.

How to Choose and Place the Perfect Ceiling Fan
Installing the perfect ceiling fan is a great way to keep cooling and ventilation costs down. To make sure that you don’t buy the wrong size, or install your new fan incorrectly, follow our handy guide below:
Get the right size ceiling fan
The size of a ceiling fan, it’s blades, and the fan’s motor all affect how well it cools down the room. To figure out the perfect size fan for your space first measure the room, then make use of the following size rules.
For smaller rooms that are up to 64 square feet, go for a 29" fan.
For rooms that are up to 100 square feet, go for a 42" fan.
For rooms that are up to 225 square feet, go for a 52" fan.
For large rooms up to 400 square feet, go for one 56" fan, or one 60" fan. If possible, the best option is to get two 52" fans.
Placement of the Ceiling Fan
After you have determined which is the right size fan for your space, the next thing to consider is the placement. If you are not sure about where to place the fan, or how high to hang it, please follow these guidelines:
Place the ceiling fan as close to the center of the room as possible. If you have an irregular space, such as an L-shaped room, consider splitting the room and hanging two ceiling fans of the same size in each area.
The blades of your ceiling fan should be at least 18 inches away from the nearest walls.
The ideal height for your fan depends on the height of the ceiling. Fans should never be hung any lower than 7 feet away from the floor. If your ceiling is less than 8 foot high, consider using a low-profile venting fan that can hang flush with the ceiling.
