Ceiling Fans

High End Ceiling Fans

Designer ceiling fans by style
This much has always been clear – designer ceiling fans get the air moving. Yet these days truly inspired ceiling fans can move far more than just air! With creative enterprises driving imaginative breeds of design, ceiling fans have evolved into inventive forms that escape mere functionality to truly move you. With artistry driven brands venturing ever further into truly sublime forms only imagined in decades passed, there has never been a better time to buy fans than now. For something that’s overhead in your living spaces, it’s no wonder why such a functional piece graduated to be a working piece of art for your special rooms and nooks.

Let’s not distance ourselves too far from functionality though. In fact, ceiling fans move more air than ever before with less energy expenditure. With Standard Direct Drive and Direct Current Motors, and one, two, and three blade designs, manufacturers have found ways to efficiently cut down on drag and generate more air movement for less energy consumption with ever more efficient motors. While this guide doesn’t cover these topics in great length, be sure to head over to our ceiling fan buying guide for tips on efficiency, rod length, switch and remote options, ways to optimize for ceiling heights and much more.

Popular Deisgner Ceiling Fan Styles

If you’re like us, you know functionality reaches a certain level of excellence across the board in modern times. This is where you can start looking ahead to form and style. Choose from traditional, transitional, contemporary, modern, rustic, Old World designs and countless more for the look that’s right for you. Traditional designer ceiling fans are generally four or five blade in earthy and darker tones, rattan with oiled bronze finishes, brushed nickel and more. Yet standard white finishes work their way into every aesthetic, including traditional. Ceiling fans with lights are also a standard traditional feature, serving the dual function of lighting and cooling a room. Transitional ceiling fans will venture into the realm of ceiling fans without lights, on the other hand, and engage dark koa wood, distressed finishes, vintage steel, satin nickel and other quasi contemporary features. Contemporary designer ceiling fans create stunning visual effects with generally one, two, and three blade designs. Discover sweeping blades, matte white finishes, clean lines, rounded features and often, minimalist appeal. Country designer ceiling fans will feature all of the trappings of modern technology with a riveted iron details, reclaimed wood finishes and beyond.

Modern Ceiling Fans

Modern & Contemporary Fans with Fancy Flair
If you’re sold on the modern or contemporary look, you’ll have some aesthetic wiggle room to work with between a few features that define the movement. Driven by sweeping features, minimalism, and led by an infusion of tech and smart design, these are ceiling fans for a home where less is more and understated beauty creates inescapable focal points of visual attention. Compliment these fans with large windows, open spaces and white walls for minimalist appeal!

Modern designer ceiling fans are similar to contemporary ceiling fans, though with more angular freedom for creating sharp, stark edges and lines. While modern ceiling fans will feature sweeping blades in certain lines, look for turbine inspired designs – straight, broadening blades – LED lights, brushed nickel and pewter finishes and more air flow with energy efficient designs. Also look for outdoor ceiling fan options for covered patios, long down rods, and single light fixture housings. Up your game just a touch with remote control options, dimmable functionality, reversible blades and wall control options as well. In each case, individual product specs and our left navigation “features” will help you refine your search to more granular options.

Decorative Ceiling Fans

Where Functionality Meets High End Design
Specific eras of style aside, decorative ceiling fans have the power to break the mold or make a new mold altogether!
