Ceiling Fans Accessories
The market around ceiling fans and their appropriate accessories is one which is steeped in both functionality and aesthetics, with these two factors playing an equal part in not just the size and design of the ceiling fan than a homeowner chooses, but also in the way they choose to use it.
A traditional ceiling fan is a fixture which sits on the ceiling, generally in the centre of the room as connected to the mains light fitting, and provides cooling through the rotation of blades which move the air around – just like a regular fan. Of course, with modern innovation comes and new and improved ways of doing things, and so the market is now filled with solid fixtures which sit flush to the ceiling and create more of an air conditioning unit than a traditional fan – with many of these able to blow out hot air when the temperature is cold, as well as create air movement to distil the effect of an overheated room.
The value of traditional ceiling fans however lies in their aesthetic presence and the way that they add a decorative feature to the centre of the room at a high level – instantly elevating the overall look of the room and adding texture to what could otherwise be a very plain and boring space.
Ceiling fan accessories are all the little parts which make the ceiling fan work, and which add to the aesthetic presence of the fan. Of course, the modern block fans require no additional accessories, and tend to provide the light from a built in bulb inside the fan’s construction.
But when it comes to traditional ceiling fans, you can have a little fun with how they look. The most obvious accessories to alter and play with are the blades themselves, the bulb, and the cord which dangle down and allows you to adjust and switch on/off the fan. The blades you select should be large enough that they create an effective movement of air, but not so large that they overpower the space completely. After all, the ceiling fan may be above your head but if it spans across the ceiling like a large spider, the effect is likely to be more intimidating than pleasing. Meanwhile the bulb should compliment the overall design of the fan – for example if the fan is wooden and traditional, opt for a duller bulb which will match the aesthetic of the fan. A more modern a minimalist fan will benefit from a purer white light.
We have already looked at the aesthetic effect of large ceiling fan blades, but size also relates to one of the main considerations you need to take into account – and that is how the size of the blades impact and affect the way the ceiling fan moves as a whole. We often get members asking us if their ceiling fan is safe because it moves and shakes a little during rotation – the movement intensifying further as the fan quickens in its rotations. For the most part, this is completely safe, though the size of the blades can impact this and if they are too large then you are starting to enter hazardous territory and should keep the rotations as smooth and slow as possible.
For the widest range of ceiling fans and their complimentary accessories, head to homeware accessory stores and department stores, as well as specialist lighting fitters who incorporate ceiling fan lights into their collections.
