Whether you’re decorating a cabin or your full-time home, there’s no need to sacrifice style for function. Stay cool and keep the relaxed, country ambiance going with a rustic ceiling fan. Characterized by distressed or reclaimed wood finishes, these fans are perfect for blending in with woodsy interiors, like a ski chalet-style home or lakehouse. If you’re looking to match a particular wood stain, search our wide selection of finishes to find just the right look. And if you need more guidance, read on to learn how to pick out just the right rustic ceiling fan for your home.


Choose a Style that Suits Your Space

Rustic style can go a number of different ways, from classic to modern. Allow the build of your home and the surrounding landscape to guide you. Craftsman style works well in a cozy cabin — think ceiling fan lights with glowing tree or deer motifs. If you’re furnishing a ranch house, you might consider a rustic farmhouse ceiling fan that’s got a lantern-style light or windmill-shaped blades. Take things in an industrial direction with metal accents and caged lighting.

On the other hand, if you feel your cabin needs a bit of a refresh, opt for lighter woods and a more streamlined finish. Modern rustic ceiling fans do exist, and they nail the look with medium to light woods and clean, understated housing for their lighting. Spending time inside will instantly feel more zen!


Consider Which Features Matter

Ceiling fans come with a variety of different features to make your life easier, so you should determine which ones you can’t live without in your new fan. While shopping, always make sure to check that a particular fan actually comes with the features you want, like a light kit, remote or reversible motor — whatever matters most to you. Rustic ceiling fans with lights are great for doing double-duty in a room and maintaining a clean, simple look. Still, it is possible to find one without lights, particularly if you’re looking for an outdoor ceiling fan.


Of course, having a remote to control the light, speed and direction of your fan will make things much easier on yourself. If you want to dim the lights in a room, you can do so with the push of a button. Some ceiling fans even come with LED light kits that’ll help you save on energy, so it can be worthwhile to check.


Pick a Mounting Style

It’s typically recommended that ceiling fans hang at least seven feet above the ground in a room, and at most eight to nine feet if the room has a high ceiling. For rooms with lower ceilings, we carry a variety of rustic flush-mount ceiling fans. On the other hand, if you’ve got vertical room to spare, a downrod-mount fan is a good choice. You can find both short and long downrods to suit your space, and oftentimes fans come with a couple different sizes.
