Selective Fans: 7 Tips for Choosing the Best Ceiling Fan
A ceiling fan is more than a functional fixture, it’s a key part of your home’s comfort, style, and energy efficiency. With so many designs and features available, choosing the right one can be overwhelming. Here are 7 tips to help you select the perfect ceiling fan from Selective Fans:
Get the Size Right
Fan size should match the room. Too small, and airflow suffers; too large, and it overwhelms the space.
Up to 10 sqm: Consider a standing fan.
10–20 sqm: Go for fans between 105–140 cm like the Mistral or Chinook.
Over 20 sqm: Choose larger fans like the Levante or Aura (130 cm+).
Match Your Ceiling Height
Fan blades should sit 2.1–2.4 m above the floor.
For low ceilings (under 2.6 m), opt for flush-mount or Hygge fans.
For higher ceilings, use a downrod to bring the fan to the ideal height.
Style Matters
Today’s fans double as design statements. Whether your home is coastal, modern, or Scandi-inspired, choose a finish that suits your space—like matte black, natural oak, or white.
Choose a Quality Motor
A fan’s motor affects noise, efficiency, and lifespan.
DC motors are quieter, energy-saving, and offer multiple speeds.
Reversible motors let you switch directions for summer and winter use.
To Light or Not to Light?
Fans with integrated LED lights are great for rooms with minimal lighting. Colour-adjustable options add versatility—but if the space has ample light, a sleek light-free fan may suit better.
Go Smart (or Remote)
Modern fans often include remotes, but smart fans offer extras:
App control
Voice activation (Alexa, Google, Siri)
Automated schedules
Invest in Quality
Don’t settle for the cheapest option. Premium fans deliver better airflow, longer warranties, quieter operation, and high-end finishes. Contact us to help you choose what’s best for your home.
A well-chosen fan doesn’t just cool your space—it completes it.
