Fans are a practical addition to every home, but style also plays an important role. Think of a ceiling fan as a statement piece, rather than just a practical appliance. With such a huge range of shapes, colours, materials, and designs to select from, selecting between classic, understated ceiling fans, or more modern designs, can be a challenge.

 

If your clients are struggling to find the right fan for their space, here’s a few things you need to know.

Classic Ceiling Fans

For classic-style homes, the perfect ceiling fan can make an impressive design statement while also creating a cool and comfortable environment within the home. Our classic ceiling fans feature a variety of textures and finishes to give your clients’ homes a structured and balanced look.

 

A white ceiling fan is a great option for a classically styled home, as the fixture blends in more seamlessly with the ceiling and allows other statement furniture pieces to stand out. If your clients are looking for more of a statement, you could suggest a black or chrome ceiling fan that will stand out and create a great feature piece.

Tips for Choosing Classic Ceiling Fans

  • White ceiling fans are timeless, classic selections will that blend seamlessly into a classic white ceiling.
  • Use timber blades in quieter rooms, such as a bedroom, nursery, or study, to reduce noise.

Contemporary Ceiling Fans

For a contemporary style, look for ceiling fans that feature minimalistic elements and sleek, thoughtful designs. Fans that blend into the background and keep your home feeling fresh without getting in the way are an ideal choice.

 

Contemporary ceiling fans are streamlined to make them more versatile, with slimmer profiles and a range of colour options to suit the space. Fortunately, a more stylish option doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice cooling power.

Tips for Choosing Contemporary Ceiling Fans

  • Choose unobtrusive, subtle ceiling fans to create a contemporary look.
  • Selecting a fan with the right air output for the size of the room will ensure your clients get both the style and the airflow you need.

Modern Ceiling Fans

If clean lines and organic silhouettes are what your clients are looking for, a modern ceiling fan is the perfect choice for their home. Designed so they don’t have to sacrifice form or function, these types of ceiling fans make an impressive design statement while also creating a cool and comfortable environment.

 

For an authentically modern vibe, look for ceiling fans in white, black, or natural materials such as teak or koa wood. Let the elegant blades and pared-back style of a modern ceiling fan keep your design looking and feeling fresh all year round.

Tips for Choosing Modern Ceiling Fans

  • Choose ceiling fans with clean lines and a monochromatic colour palette.
  • Style modern ceiling fans with minimal home décor and open floor plans for the perfect look.

Outdoor Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fans are a great addition to your clients’ outdoor spaces, especially if they enjoy dining and entertaining outside. 

In any outdoor space, adding light is a great idea so your clients can enjoy their alfresco areas at any time of day, so suggesting ceiling fans with lights is a great idea. Add a fan remote for additional flexibility so they can adjust the settings from anywhere you are and create the perfect atmosphere for enjoying the outdoors year-round. For homes near the sea, it’s essential to choose fans that feature ABS plastic blades, as these are built tough to withstand the harsh coastal climate.

Tips for Choosing Outdoor Ceiling Fans

  • Our coastal and alfresco fans are suitable for outdoor environments. Take it one step further with an IP-rated fan.
  • For alfresco spaces, choose a fan that features an integrated light to create the perfect dining ambience.
