Fabulous Fandeliers - Unique Ceiling Fan Chandeliers for Every Room In Your Home!
Have you heard of fandeliers, beautiful ceiling fan chandeliers? The day I discovered them, I almost couldn’t believe my eyes.
I asked myself, “Can such a thing really exist?”
As a realtor and a designer I meet with a lot of clients and see a lot of homes.
The one thing that has stuck out to me recently is the trend of clients putting ceiling fans at the top of their "must-have" list.
I'm guessing this comes as the weather gets warmer and people are reminded of how much they like a breeze.
Especially as they go about their daily activities around the house- no one likes sweating while cooking, or waking up in the middle of the night to change their PJs.
After hearing this for the fourth or so time in a two week period it really got me thinking...
How can give my clients the function of a fan while still maintaining a beautiful chandelier design?
Let me introduce you to - the fandelier!

What Is A Fandelier?
Fandeliers are a unique and beautiful combination of a ceiling fan and chandelier. In general, the style of the chandelier takes the stage with the function of the fan being an added benefit!
They come in multiple designs from rustic to glam. The light and fan components are sometimes integrated, but can sometimes function separately.
Why You Need A Fandelier For Your Home
If you love a ceiling fan, then it is time to consider making a switch to a fandelier.
Why, you ask? Well, I’ll tell you.
Fandeliers Are Functional
If you’re someone who likes to feel air moving, you already know the benefits of fans. The beauty of a fandelier? You can add that function to EVERY. SINGLE. ROOM. without taking away from any of the interior design - some may even argue, you will be adding to it!
Fandeliers Have Style
I guarantee, choosing a fandelier will be a unique way to add beauty to your home. Your friends will be in awe of your amazing find and your genius design skills to hide a ceiling fan in plain sight - behind a gorgeous chandelier!
Choosing The Right Size Fandelier For Your Space:
When selecting a fandelier, you should use the same rules that you would follow for selecting a light fixture.
That means, to find the right size for your space, you will want to measure the width and the length of the room where you will be placing the fandelier.
You then add the width of the room (in feet) to the length of the room (in feet) and the number you get is the ideal size fixture for the space.
For example, if your room is 10 feet wide by 12 feet long (10 + 12), the ideal size fixture would be 22” wide.
You will also want to consider the height of your fandelier. In general, you need a minimum of 7 feet of clearance for a light fixture. That means, if you have an 8’ ceiling - 7’, you would be able to get a fandelier 12” or less in height.
My Favorite Fandelier Finds:
I’ll be honest. As a designer I never used to choose ceiling fans for projects that I have 100% control over.
I understand the function for clients, but I also love beautiful lighting and the average run-of-the-mill ceiling fan does not do it for me.
I decided there HAD to be a way to have both functionality and fabulousness in a ceiling fan so set out to see what I could find.
I have to admit... I was completely surprised with the variety.
On my search I found some real beauties- There were options from traditional, contemporary, rustic, modern, industrial, and even, my personal favorite, glam!
This, my friends, is a selection of my absolute favorite fandeliers - ceiling fans and chandeliers combined- that I have found so far!
Modern Fandeliers
Clean and edgy fans with lighting hidden within the design. There are even a wide range of finishes from chrome and brushed nickel to black, brass, and gold.
These could seamlessly blend into any minimal modern home, office, or commercial space.
