Ceiling Fans and Bedroom Lighting

Fans have always served a great function...circulating air. Now we can look to fans as more than just a functional fixture.

Fans have become more stylish than ever before. With the growing popularity of fans, designers have created looks that coordinate with nice bedroom decor.

They are more appealing than they ever used to be. Finishes are no longer limited to white and brass. Trendsetters are opting for brushed nickel, steel and pewter. Other popular looks include earth tones like rustic copper, bronze and old brick.

Blades are available in oak, weathered pine, maple, black, white, almond, even silk and nylon sailcloth. And light kits have been designed to fit with some of the hottest trends - art deco, mission and Asian. People are getting away from traditional types and are going to more ornate fans that are more like showpieces.

Conventional pull chains have been replaced with a wall mounted control or a hand-held remote control. There are fans for damp locations such as screened porches and wet locations such as gazebos. Design leaders look at fans from the statement the fans make.
