While the ceiling fans of the past may have featured clunky designs and focused on functionality rather than style, modern ceiling fans are attractive, extremely energy efficient and a great addition to any modern living room. Many of these fans also come with light fixtures attached, to help meet your ambient lighting needs.
Depending on the size of your living room, you’ll want to make sure you find a ceiling fan that’ll sufficiently cool the room. For most living rooms a ceiling fan with a diameter of 36 to 42 inches should be sufficient. With large rooms, consider 50 to 54 inches and even multiple fans.
