Ceiling fans offer a great way to add a cooling breeze to any room, particularly if you don’t have air conditioning. But besides offering quick cool air, they also need to match the look of your home. At Houzz, you can find fans to match just about any interior, including a farmhouse-style space. Characterized by their simple, rustic look and mixture of metals and woods, farmhouse ceiling fans are meant to blend right in with the rest of your decor, while offering a modern convenience. While you search for just the right ceiling fan for your home, allow the following tips and ideas to guide you.


Pay Attention to Details

There are a lot of variations on farmhouse style, whether you want to go country rustic or clean and modern. While picking out a new ceiling fan, consider what sort of look you’re trying to achieve. Modern farmhouse ceiling fans tend to feature light wood finishes and little detailing, while a darker, knotted finish looks more rustic. An aluminum lamp shade is more subtle, while a black-finished metal version will make a statement. For a touch of industrial style, opt for a fan with metal cages around the light bulbs or a windmill-like blade design.


Where Will It Go?

Ceiling fans work in just about any room, and they’re a great way to save on your energy bills. Instead of cooling the whole house, you can just turn the fan on where you are. To pick out the right size fan, consider the size of the room and how much cooling you’ll need. If you’re looking to cool off the porch or a covered patio, make sure you look for an outdoor farmhouse ceiling fan that can handle the elements.


In particular, if you need a fan for the kitchen, think carefully about how much space you have. You don’t want to get one that’s too big, as most kitchens already feel fairly busy, with the range hood and all of the appliances. In the kitchen, and rooms with lower ceilings, flush-mount fans are usually best. Higher ceilings can handle downrod-mount fans that take up a bit more vertical space.


Choose the Features that Matter to You

Oftentimes, it makes sense to have your fan also function as your main light source for a room. At Houzz, you can find farmhouse ceiling fans with lights in all sorts of configurations, from one bulb to several. To make things easy, look for those with a light kit included. Still, if all you need is a fan, it is possible to find versions without lights for a streamlined look.


Finally, having a remote control for your fan makes all the difference. Imagine laying in bed reading and simply flicking the light off with a remote. Or sitting down to a summer dinner outside and seamlessly modulating the temperature — no strings needed! If a remote is a priority for you, always check to make sure a ceiling fan includes one.
