10 Easy Pieces: Ceiling Fans

As a farewell to summer—and in response to several reader requests—we've rounded up our top ceiling fan choices. Ceiling fans aren't just for summer, of course; in the winter months they recirculate trapped ceiling heat back down to floor areas.

VINTAGE-INSPIRED FANS

Above: We like the utilitarian, retro-looking Bianca Brushed Nickel 15-inch Ceiling Fan; $490 at Lumens.

Above: Industry Fan by Modern Fan Company in galvanized steel; $328 at Unica Home.

Above: Another favorite is the Acero Ceiling Fan by Minka Aire; $349.95 at Ylighting.

Above: Extraordinaire Ceiling Fan with 360-degree orbital motion is $349 at Lumens.

Above: The finely crafted Small Egret from Woolen Mill Fan Company, discovered via architect Jerome Buttrick.

MODERN FANS

Above: The elegant Zonix Satin Nickel Ceiling Fan is $279 at Lumens.

Above: 48-inch Heat Ceiling Fan by Emerson; $124.80 at Lumens.

Above: Artemis Ceiling Fan in maple (other finishes also available); $499 at Lumens.

Above: Westinghouse Lighting's Industrial Ceiling Fan in Brushed Nickel is on sale for $73 at CSN Lighting.

Above: The Lapa Ceiling Fan is a good choice when ceilings are on the low side; $328 at Y Lighting.

OHHH while you're at it, any idea for ceiling fans with integrated lightfixture and pull string (switch)? We have the most ugly ceiling fan and I would love to replace it. Loved your blog and love the new webpage! Aleg*

At least four of the fans included have the option of an integrated light (the Lapa, Acero, Artemis, and Industry). Take a look at the links to get more details.

I recommend using a Fanimation Fan, they are very efficient.
