The Lighting Warehouse: Tips For Choosing A Ceiling Fan
The heat is on… and it’s time to keep cool with the latest ceiling fans from The Lighting Warehouse. Incorporate a beautifully streamlined piece into your home and reap the rewards!
Ceiling fans are ideal for adding comfort to any room. Especially in the warmer season when temperatures rise and may become unbearable in our homes! A ceiling fan is a simple solution that can also complement the aesthetic of your room.
If in doubt, consider these top tips for choosing a ceiling fan for your space!
1. Size Matters
To make the most of your space, you need to choose the right size fan. Too small and it will most certainly not have the quality effect you are hoping for in a big room. Furthermore, it’s all about proportion! Measure your room and know exactly what size blade span you should look out for. If you’re not entirely sure, remember that the blade span of a fan is the diameter of the blades while they’re spinning. You can measure this from the tip of one blade to the tip of the blade across from it. A fan that is too small for a room will not do an efficient job of circulating air in a large room. On the other hand, a fan that is too large will not provide any air flow directly below it.
2. Switch Directions
Did you know that most ceiling fans have a switch to change the direction of their movement? In fact, this simple concept can help you make the most of your fan. In the summer, your fan blades should run counterclockwise at the highest speed to push air down. In the winter, set your fan to run clockwise at a low speed so the blades gently pull cooler air up to keep your space warm and cosy.
3. Pick a Style
Modern fans come in various finishes and colours, so it’s wise to consider your choices and pick a style to suit your aesthetic.
Contemporary fans often create clean lines and compliments minimalist designs. If this is what you’re going for, then choose something to suit your modern vibe at home. On the other hand, a traditional fan can be a little more ornate and works well in warm spaces to create a sophisticated atmosphere. Your choice will depend on your preferences.
