Welcome to our gallery featuring living rooms with ceiling fans!

Ceiling fans are an underrated feature. They usually go unnoticed, doing their job pushing warm air around. But they can also be the perfect item to top off a room.

Modern ceiling fans come in many different styles, designs, and colors, so there is sure to be a model that will fit any room you may need. They’re not just functional; ceiling fans can be stylish.

As in the outdoor fan image above, you can get low-profile fans that blend in and continue to go unnoticed. Or, you can install a unique fan, like a palm leaf or a dual fan, and put a showcase piece in your home.

Use an accent color or complement a design with a sleek modern ceiling fan. Energy Star-rated smart units are more efficient, save money, and benefit the environment, all while keeping your space fresh and cool – the possibilities are endless.

Different fan blade shapes can also help define a room’s look and what airflow you will have. Everyone knows the standard blade shape, but did you know that having bigger fan blades doesn’t necessarily mean more airflow?

The blades’ angle (or pitch) is the most significant factor and determines how powerful a fan’s motor should be.

The steeper the pitch, the more powerful the motor. Otherwise, you’ll wind up with a fan that burns out the motor quickly and doesn’t move much air.

Hopefully, we’ve helped you think of ceiling fans as more than just a functional object. Please enjoy the gallery of living room ceiling fans!
