You know the old saying, “If you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.” Welp, there are other ways to deal with things than running away from your problems. Here at 1StopLighting we say, “Stay in the kitchen, but get a fan to cool off while cooking.”
Today’s homes have bright, sunny windows, spacious central islands, and fantastic range hoods designed to extract the excess heat and airborne particulates created during cooking. There is a growing trend in today’s best homes to include ceiling fans in kitchens to keep the cooks cool and collected as they create their culinary masterpieces, and we wholeheartedly agree.
We’ve put together some fantastic ideas for ceiling fans you may not have considered… it’s outside the box thinking at its best. Grab some inspiration here and see which ceiling fan feels right for your kitchen.
The Hinkley Lighting Chisel modern ceiling fan ticks all of the check boxes for a leading-edge ceiling fan… DC motor for super-efficient and quiet operation, built-in Wi-Fi with voice activation capability, sophisticated app for your smartphone, and an advanced 6-speed remote control. Select between matte black, matte white and graphite finishes to compliment your kitchen décor.
Turn your idea of a ceiling fan upside down (well, sideways anyway) and you’ve got the amazing Kichler Lighting Terna 300230NI ceiling fan. When you need a small ceiling fan for your kitchen to create a gentle breeze, this little guy is perfect. Consider a pair of these over a large kitchen island for a unique kitchen solution.
Inspired by factory hood lighting (with its curved bell shape, cased white glass and integrated LED light), the Casablanca Fans Levitt 5943-54CFLK ceiling fan fits in perfectly with the modern farmhouse kitchen. Hand painted real wood veneer blades compliment the nostalgic era echoed in the fan body. Easy installation is ensured with an integrated receiver pre-installed controlled by a Casablanca exclusive wall control.
Cross the gorgeous look of rectangular multi-faceted crystals of an LED chandelier with the blessed relief of a ceiling fan and you get a fandelier. The Savoy House Taurus 30-333-FD-11 Fandelier is one device that provides both functions – note that due to the smaller motors and blade sizes the amount of air moved is about half that of a standard 52” ceiling fan… but above a kitchen table (as in the illustration) it’s a perfect combination.
We love the look of the Kichler Lighting Eyrie 300041BSS ceiling fan with light kit it integrates industrial tones and farmhouse tones into one multi-faceted fixture. The brushed nickel cage encircles a 13” ceiling fan, the perfect size to move air in a small area. Larger space? Consider adding 2 or 3 of these beauties to create a consistent breeze right where you want it.
Have a large kitchen or dining space? The Visual Comfort Fan Collection Minimalist Max 3MNLR72AGPD-V1 ceiling fan with light kit is for you with a 72” blade span that can put out nearly double the normal air flow than a standard 54” fan. The hand carved balsa wood blades on the Minimalist Max are complimented by the opal etched glass which encloses an integrated 16W LED downlight.
Smaller spaces are for the gentle air movement provided by the miniscule (only 15” in diameter) Kichler Lighting Terna 300230OBB small ceiling fan. Use the included wall control to ramp up the cooling breeze, or to dim the integrated LED light to create the perfect mood whether it’s a romantic dinner or cleaning day.
Some have a need to cool down while they create their seven-layer souffle concoction, while other just enjoy a light breeze while they wolf down their mac ‘n cheese… but all enjoy the benefits of adding a ceiling fan to your kitchen or dining area. We trust that looking through some of these kitchen ceiling fan ideas has lit a flame of inspiration under you, and that you have a clearer vision of what your kitchen can be.
Let's act on your newly-found inspiration… You can rely on 1StopLighting to have the selection you want at the price you need to raise your kitchen up to the next level.
