I know. That title doesn’t speak very highly of ceiling fans, does it?
Well, as a designer, I’m not really in love with having ceiling fans in a space.
I’d rather put up a gorgeous chandelier, pendant, or some sculptural light fixture that serves as the art in the room!
But, I live in Texas. And here, ceiling fans are how we survive the heat, especially in two story spaces.
And while I’ll give in to beauty over practicality just about any time, when it comes to Texas heat I have to find a way to make this work for a lot of my clients.

We all know the ceiling fans we hate:
The ones with the boob lights and the spider lights and overly ornate “Tuscan” details, like these ones below.
Any ceiling fan in a kitchen, it just cools your food so fast and imagine all the dust that gets slung around from a fan that isn’t properly maintained.
You get the idea.
It can be hard to find the good ones - the ones which have good design that you wouldn’t mind having up in your house whether it’s 95 degrees outside (and upstairs) or not.
Do they exist? Yes.
Check out some fans below that can actually enhance the design of a space.
I’m so glad that matte brass and white combos have entered the market!
Here are some to LOVE in your home.
