A curated list of the best modern ceiling fans with lights (+ ceiling fans with remotes), the best contemporary ceiling fans, and best minimalist design ceiling fans — plus cheap options under $200 for on a budget shopping.
If you’re seriously interested in finding the best modern ceiling fans with lights (plus a handy remote), there are a few important things to consider. Yes, even something that is perhaps as trivial as a ceiling fan does require some degree of consumer knowledge. First off, you should have a general idea of the dimensions of the room and what you’d like the interior space to look like. If you’re buying a modern ceiling fan for a bedroom, you may want a different aesthetic than if you’re looking for a ceiling fan for a living room or foyer area. As you’ll note in the curated collection below, we selected general use ceiling fans with 50″ to 54″ inch blade spans, which should be good for any room you’re buying for. In terms of design and aesthetic, you’ll find everything from modern and minimalist designs, to more retro and contemporary styles. Second, you’ll want to take a look at product quality and see if the model if you’re planning to buy has a high number of good reviews. Fortunately, we curated for these metrics — selecting ceiling fans that were quality tested to be quiet, balanced, energy efficient, and evenly designed to provide consistent cooling throughout a room. We also picked top rated models that are well reviewed by customers. Last, price; below you’ll find a wide range of prices, from top quality models around $600 dollars, to more standard models around $100 to $200. Nevertheless, we imagine you’ll find what you’re looking for in this list of the best modern ceiling fans with lights and modern ceiling fans without lights.
