Mid Century Modern Living Room Ceiling Fans

Why We Love Living Room Ceiling Fans

A modern ceiling fan in the living room allows you to effectively accomplish two tasks by moving air in the space and having a decorative fixture hanging overhead. Most living room ceiling fan designs also have an integrated light kit, giving you a source of ample downlighting usually from an energy efficient LED light source. With a contemporary ceiling fan for the living room, you'll ensure your home is efficient at moving air and high in style.

The common ceiling fan is not often rewarded for its stylish impact it can bring to homes. But a modern ceiling fan is not only functional, it's also fashionable and delivers eye-catching style for living rooms. Whether mounted flush with the ceiling (ideal for living rooms with less than 8 feet of ceiling-to-floor height) or extended from the ceiling with the help of a downrod (used for living rooms with high ceilings or vaulted ceilings), you'll be sure to appreciate having a decorative fixture in the space. And when it comes to keeping the air freshly moving about, there's no better choice.

Living Room Ceiling Fan Ideas for Every Style

Friends and family will likely be gathering in the living room and you will want to make sure you have plenty of fresh air flowing in and out of the room. Aside from providing a functional element for your living room, this collection of fans will also help you define the space's style. From mid-century modern options by the renown Ron Rezek for the Modern Fan Company to rustic options from customer-favorite Minka Aire and more traditional designs by Casablanca Fans, you'll find the right fan for your living room here. And to help promote energy efficiency in the space, look to the DC motor fans available from Emerson Fans.

How to Choose the Best Living Room Ceiling Fan

With so many options to choose from, you'll have no problem introducing a new ceiling fan into your living room. First, decide the size of fan your living room can accommodate. Look to important sizing dimensions like blade span (diameter), the number of blades the fan includes and how the fan is installed on the ceiling; some fans come with a downrod to extend them from the ceiling, some designs have a short amount of clearance between the fan and the ceiling, and others mounted perfectly flush with the ceiling. Your living room's layout and height constraints will determine which mounting style you'll need. With a size and style in mind, you can then turn your attention to the colors and finishes that most appropriately blend in with the rest of your living room decor. And finally, if it's exceptional efficiency you're after, be sure to review the fan's airflow efficiency metrics.

Other Considerations

If you have an extra large living room or a great room you need to cool, take a look at the selection of large ceiling fans. These large fans offer a massive blade span of 60" or more to help move a lot of air. And these big fans can be mounted flush with the ceiling or far extended from the ceiling. If you opt for a ceiling fan without light, be sure to browse the other living room lighting categories available to introduce additional sources of light to the room from table lamps or a pair of modern floor lamps.
