As the weather warms up, it’s time to think about adding or replacing ceiling fans to help keep you cool in style. Outdoor spaces are an especially great place to add ceiling fans so that the spaces become more usable and relaxing, even when it’s very hot outside! We rounded up some really stylish ceiling fans for indoor and outdoor use, so no matter what style you like or how big your space is, we’ll help you find your new favorite ceiling fan.
Many people think ceiling fans look unappealing, but maybe fans like the Kichler Eads can help disprove that. This fan is decorated with edgy industrial style featuring thoughtful touches like mesh paneling and studs. Textural weathered medium oak blades soften the look by adding a little organic flair. An olde bronze finish is shown here, but Eads also comes in brushed nickel.
Savoy House Etesian Fandelier is a cool new twist on ceiling fans with this design, which combines ceiling fan functionality and chandelier decoration. While the Etesian is on, the ceiling fan is ionizing and circulating the air efficiently to bring you a more comfortable, healthier home. This is a satin nickel version, but we also have burnished russet.
For a more cutting-edge contemporary look, try the Savoy House Veyron. While the blades might look unusual (it’s a gull wing design), they have been designed to be aerodynamically efficient, moving air quickly and smoothly. This is satin nickel with chestnut and integrated halogen light source. An English bronze and walnut option is available too.
If you like industrial design with a hint of nautical appeal, check out the Kichler Hatteras Bay. Part of a larger collection, this ceiling fan integrates a centrally-located industrial downlight with a wide fresnel lens. An oil brushed bronze finish is accentuated with walnut in the Hatteras Bay fan shown, though you can also check out brushed steel, distressed black and burnished antique brass.
I love the intricate detail on the body of the traditional Savoy House Indigo. This style, in black with chestnut blades, creates a bold statement. There is also a white version, plus we carry textured light kits for the Indigo too.
Oh my goodness, isn’t this Kichler Sunburst II fan adorable? This is a great choice for smaller spaces since it’s just 42″. (We recommend a 42″ fan for a 100 square foot room.) An integrated LED light makes it ideal for use as the primary ambient light in such a room. The brushed steel finish is accentuated with champagne blades in the Sunburst II here, but we have all-white and copper-oil brushed bronze too.
Here’s another unique ceiling fan look: the Kichler Terna. It packs two functions into one small package–you get a pendant light and a little ceiling fan all in one. Now, Terna is just 15″ in width, so it’s not great for lighting or cooling a large room. Kichler suggests small locales like kitchen islands, pool tables, cocktail tables, office desks, small kitchens or dining nooks. This is the brushed nickel finish. White and oil-brushed bronze are also available, as well as Terna varieties that use LED light.
I like the rich Arts and Crafts look of the Kichler Chicago fan, especially on the integrated downlight. The detailed blades and distressed black finish are also a winner. Chicago comes in brushed nickel and tannery bronze as well, plus it’s available in a coordinating collection of outdoor lights if you’re also considering bettering your great outdoors.
The two blades of the intriguing Kichler Link ceiling fan are designed to create an air flow comparable to that of a standard 5-blade fan. Its design will certainly turn heads and get people talking! If you have a contemporary space that needs a stylish and efficient fan, link up with Link. We also have it in brushed nickel and polished nickel in addition to the oil-brushed bronze shown.
With a look reminiscent of an airplane propeller, the Kichler Industrial is made of steel and has an all-white finish that can help it appear to recede into the ceiling–ideal for those who might not be big fans of how fans look, but still want the functionality. Also find Industrial in satin black or brushed nickel.
If you have a low ceiling, you might need a hugger fan. That’s a cute term describing how the fan lies flush against the ceiling without the use of a downrod (thus hugging the ceiling). The Kichler Innes is one example of a hugger fan, flaunting a streamlined grooved design with a light kit and brushed nickel finish. White is available too!
There’s nothing mysterious about the appeal of the Savoy House Mystique fan. It has a crisp transitional style that makes it excellent for adding to a wide variety of spaces. Plus, you can choose from two different blade finishes to further customize the look–in this English bronze fan, choose from walnut or teak. Mystique also comes in Byzantine bronze and polished nickel.
If you want to spend time outside and need a ceiling fan to make that more comfortable, we can help there too! Check out these outdoor ceiling fans, which are all rated either for damp or wet area use. This is an important distinction based on whether or not the fan will be exposed directly to rain. Direct exposure, like in a pergola or gazebo? Wet. Indirect, like in a patio or porch? Damp.
Sleek in satin black, the Kichler Renew Select patio ceiling fan is wet area rated and has an integrated CFL light kit that makes it great for outdoor spaces where you would also like more light. Don’t like satin black? Try tannery bronze or white!
The damp-rated Savoy House Hyannis fan showcases style with a central column of Cream Indian Scavo glass encased in a nautical-style cage. An English bronze finish brings richness.
Use the Kichler Canfield Patio fan in wet areas. It beautifully combines a textured tannery bronze powder coat finish with walnut blades and a slender silhouette. Part of a larger collection that also includes white, black and copper options.
Say aloha to the little Casablanca Wailea fan! Rated for damp area use, it’s just 31″, so even the smallest lanai can stay cool. Finished in rich brushed cocoa with dark walnut blades, but you can also go for snow white or brushed nickel with dark walnut blades.
I like how Savoy House’s The Chatsworth fan incorporates a bold lantern-style light fixture, oak blades and walnut patina finish. Plus, it’s wet area rated!
That rich brushed cocoa finish looks really great in the Casablanca Heritage fan, which is damp rated. Blades have a reclaimed antique finish, creating a bold appeal–an aged bronze finish with the same kind of blades is also available.
The grand size of the Savoy House Velocity fan makes it ideal for use in large, damp-rated locations. Angled silver blades are paired with a satin nickel finish and integrated light source. Want a darker hue? Try the English bronze.
Remember the fresnel lens on the Kichler Hatteras Bay fan in the indoor section? The Kichler Harbour Walk also has one! Its industrial design is similar to Hatteras Bay, but crafted from hardier materials to give it a wet area rating. Walnut blades and galvanized steel pair up well, but if you don’t dig the steel, then we do have tannery bronze, weathered copper and distressed black.
I guess I just think little ceiling fans are so cute! This is the Kichler Yur, a small-but-mighty 24″ in size, rated for use in wet areas. Like with the tiny Terna, Kichler offers some helpful suggestions for places to use Yur: screened-in porches, bathrooms, breakfast nooks, walk-in closets or in multiples on a patio. But wait, there’s more: kind of like how Pokemon evolve and their name changes slightly along with their appearance, Yur can evolve into Yuree, which features two Yur attached to a downlight.
Create your own utopia with the damp-rated Casablanca Utopian Gallery fan. This one is finished in Snow White with matte snow white blades and white cased glass, but in addition to all-white, we have brushed nickel, aged bronze and brushed cocoa.
