Ceiling fans are a great decorative addition to any room. They look stylish and they are far more energy-efficient than air conditioning, especially if you only need to cool down one room. To complement your room’s decorating scheme, select a motor housing finished in polished or antique brass, wood grain, bronze, copper, or white. Then choose contrasting blades made out of woven bamboo, plain print, or fabrics. Some ceiling fan models are versatile and come with reversible blades, allowing you to change the look with the seasons. Ceiling fans are usually placed in the middle of the room for maximum air circulation. They should generally be placed so the fan’s blades are at least seven feet above the floor. If you intend to install the ceiling fan on your porch or patio, make sure you choose one that will withstand all kinds of weather.
