Bamboo Dining Room Ceiling Fans

Why We Love Dining Room Ceiling Fans

Often graced by the presence of a luxurious chandelier or decorative pendant lighting, the dining room instantly becomes cool with the addition of a ceiling fan. Dining room ceiling fans add an unusual decorating element to the space while also serving a functional purpose of keeping air moving to ensure fresh air for you and your dinner guests. Many options include integrated light kits, allowing you to effectively illuminate the room too.

Ceiling fans are commonly rewarded for their ability to keep a space cool and comfortable. But a modern ceiling fan has the unique ability to act as a decorative fixture in addition to its functional use. And in the dining room, where decoration is key to successful dining and entertaining, you'll be sure to appreciate the impact a fan can have in the space. From traditional wood blade ceiling fans to sleek stainless steel options, there's a fan in this assortment you'll be happy to introduce at your next dinner party.

How to Choose the Best Dining Room Fan

When choosing a fan for any area of the home, the most critical aspect to pay attention to is its size. Fans are measured by their blade span - that is the diameter in which they spin - the number of blades they have and the space between each of the blades. Begin your search for a new fan by properly measuring the space in your dining room where the fan will be installed. Each of the aforementioned measurements go a long way in determining the fan's airflow efficiency and you'll need be mindful of how the fan is installed. Some fans mount perfectly flush with the ceiling while others extend and hang lower with the assistance of a downrod. Be sure to see our information on ceiling fan installation to learn more. With a size and mounting type in mind, you're ready to refine your options by the colors, blade finishes and hardware finishes that most appropriately blend in with your dining room.

Other Considerations

Although you may opt for a ceiling fan with light for the dining room, the space will benefit from additional sources of illumination too. Look to the assortment of wall lights to dress up your walls, consider recessed lighting to add a significant amount of focused downlight and choose a table lamp to properly light your credenza or buffet table. Finally, with lighting and a ceiling fan in place, upgrade your outlets and light switches with the contemporary collection from Legrand Adorne.
