A curated list of the best, cool ceiling fans and coolest ceiling fans with lights, featuring hand-picked, quality modern and minimalist design ceiling fans — plus cheap options.
Since you clicked in to view this curated list of cool ceiling fans, we’re going to assume that you’re either looking for a new ceiling fan, a modern replacement for your current ceiling fan, or are simply browsing for design inspiration. Regardless of whether you’re looking based on one or all of these curiosities, we’re rather certain you’ll find something here than piques your interest and that you may even deem good enough to buy. When shopping for cool ceiling fans, you should break down your search in to three headings: dimensions, aesthetic (i.e., look and feel), and product functionality. In terms of sizing and dimensions, if you’re looking for an indoor ceiling fan, we recommend going for a fan that has a blade span of about 52 inches. According to our research, this sizing is ideal for indoor interiors like a foyer area, living room or bedroom. Just be sure to measure the space before settling on a fan. In terms of design and aesthetic, it’s really up to you. We assume since you clicked this post, the word ‘cool’ attracted you in some way. To find the best cool ceiling fans, we tended to favor ceiling fans that were unique and modern. Specifically, this meant selecting ceiling fans that deviated away from traditional blade and stem designs and went for more minimalist and contemporary design principles like sharp angles, bold shapes and solid colors. Lastly, for functionality, we looked for fans built with a DC motor and for those that were sound and quality tested for quiet and balanced blade rotation. This level of craftsmanship ensures that the ceiling fan won’t wobble, click and unevenly cool a room. That’s pretty much it. If you like our review, be sure to leave a good rating below. And if you’re interested in more modern ceiling fans, we did a curated list for that as well.
