Rustic Ceiling Fans for Every Room & Application
A ceiling fan is an understated piece of decor that is often only thought of for its functional purpose of keeping air fresh and cool. However, ceiling fans have the ability to provide eye-catching good looks you may not otherwise notice. In contemporary living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens, a rustic ceiling fan offers a natural wood look that blends in with the decor of these spaces. This choice of fan is especially great for areas of the home with hardwood floors as their wood blades pair well with the tones found in the flooring. Homes aiming for a ski lodge aesthetic will also appreciate the wood blades and darker motor finishes found in this collection of fans. Outside of the home, use rustic outdoor ceiling fans for covered decks, patios and gazebos. Just be sure the fan is UL-rated for safe outdoor use where weather is unavoidable. And in commercial locations like retail stores, restaurants and business offices, a rustic fan blends in well with furniture of a similar tone and color palette.

How to Choose the Best Rustic Ceiling Fan
As with any fan or fixture, there are a few critical components you'll need to know to be able to make the right choice. You'll need to consider the size of the room where you're adding a new fan, the mounting type of the fan and the size of the fan itself.
Rustic Ceiling Fan Sizes
When it comes to choosing any style of ceiling fan, size is of utmost importance. Begin by measuring the space on the ceiling where you plan to install a new ceiling fan. You'll want to measure for the complete diameter in which the fan will span, along with the height of the fan from the base of the ceiling to the bottom of the motor and take note of how many blades you prefer in a fan. With these measurements in hand, you're ready to find the appropriate diameter for your space. Common fan diameters (also expressed as blade span or blade sweep) range from 44" to 52", while anything 60" or bigger is considered a large ceiling fan. Keep in mind that a ceiling fan with a smaller blade span is a good fit for bedrooms and kitchens, while fans with a much bigger blade sweep are more suited to living rooms and great rooms.
Rustic Fan Mounting Types
Along with finding the right size, you'll also want to choose the most appropriate fan mounting type. Ceiling fans are offered in a flushmount form that hugs close to the ceiling, a low profile form that only extends a few inches from the base of the ceiling and options that hang far from the ceiling with the assistance of a downrod extension. In rooms where the ceiling is 9-feet or shorter, your best option is to use a low profile or hugger ceiling fan. Conversely, for areas with tall or vaulted ceilings, choose a rustic fan that includes a downrod extension.
With a size and mounting type in mind, you're ready to find your new ceiling fan. You may also want to consider if you prefer a rustic ceiling fan with lights to not only keep the air fresh in a given room, but also to provide it with plenty of light output. And decide if you prefer a fan with a remote, a wall control or one that uses pull chains stemming from the fan's motor.
