Give These 23 Ceiling Fan Styles a Spin

Something important to remember, ceiling fans take up more space than a standard light fixture. If you have low ceilings, a flush-mount ceiling fan allows you to get the cooling power of a ceiling fan without creating a clearance issue. Flush-mount ceiling fans are a broad category and are available in many ceiling fan styles, finishes, all from the best brands.

If you’re short on space but need circulation, a bladeless ceiling fan moves air without traditional ceiling fan blades. It creates the look of a standard light fixture with the benefit of a breeze when it’s needed. A bladeless ceiling fan is ideal for households that need cooling power but if you can’t stand the look of a regular ceiling fan, this new category continues to expand with new design options.

Less is more when it comes to modern ceiling fans. Clean lines and a lack of ornamentation keep these ceiling fans looking sleek and minimal. Modern ceiling fans aren’t as decorative and fade into the ceiling depending on the color you choose. A modern ceiling fan keeps the focus on other elements in the room while adding the functionality a ceiling fan provides.

Have you heard of a fandelier? If not, it’s exactly what it sounds like, it’s a ceiling fan with a chandelier. This unique ceiling fan is gaining in popularity since it combines the style a chandelier offers with the practicality of a ceiling fan. Ceiling fans with a chandelier don’t force you to compromise, letting the design of the light fixture work with the rest of the room.

With the rise of modern farmhouse style, accessories like a farmhouse ceiling fan just make sense. Characterized by classic wood tones, farmhouse ceiling fans add a rustic touch without taking it too far, keeping the blades simply shaped and classic. Available in a myriad of colors to complement your space, like black, gray-washed wood, white and more, a rustic ceiling fan is a beautiful finishing accessory for your space.

Bring global influences to your fixtures with a boho ceiling fan. Leaf-style fan blades, beaded light covers and a variety of wood tones all help these ceiling fans work with many design styles. Boho ceiling fans are so versatile and can add an unexpected twist to a traditional décor style. If you’re looking to bring global flair, look no further than a boho ceiling fan.

If you thought using a remote control to operate your ceiling fan was cool, then meet the 2.0 version. Smart ceiling fans let you use your smart phone to turn on your celling fan’s lights and the blades. Meaning you can turn on your smart ceiling fan from the comfort of your bed or adjust the blade speed without having to stand on your bed to pull a cord. Isn’t technology amazing?

Try a bladeless ceiling fan if you’re trying to put a fan in a narrower room or hallway. If you’re short on vertical space, a flush-mount ceiling fan helps minimize the fan’s distance from the ceiling.

If you already have a ceiling fan installed it’s as easy as connecting a few wires. Although getting the fan on the ceiling might require an extra set of hands to maneuver. For more detailed installation instructions, see our step-by-step here: How to Install a Ceiling Fan.
