ceiling fan dilemma!

Lauren Levenson

8 years ago

We are interested in adding some recessed lights and a ceiling fan (no light) to our living room area. It is roughly 300 sq ft, but opens to dining area. The ceilings are 9ft high. We really liked a Fanimation fan but it is 56 inches and we are worried that is too big. Any advice on size and color? Not a huge fan of white but it would blend in...would black be too dominating in the space??

I think that size is fine. I would go with one with a light, it’s nice to have if you need it and looks nicer IMO. A bronze with dark blades would look good!

The first thing you see in a room that has a ceiling fan, is the ceiling fan. So it is important that it be the right size and color. White with white 9ft ceilings would be a good choice. Without a light, it will be even more unobtrusive. I think you should stay within 48-50 inches in diameter. The room looks like it is about 12'-13' wide.
