The term “industrial” can describe either the fan’s style or the fan’s use. Fans made for industrial settings are fans that are specifically crafted for larger spaces and serve a primary purpose as opposed to an aesthetic one. While the industrial style fans also serve a practical purpose, these fans are primarily defined by their minimalist style and subtle nods to industrial buildings and industrial living. In these cases, modern industrial ceiling fans come in a variety of appearances with different blade numbers, varying shapes, light fixtures, and other options to optimize your room’s style and versatility.
Since fans are highly functional works of art, it is key to consider the fan’s practicality and style. Some practical, functional features to consider include the addition of a light, Smart fan capabilities, flush mount versus semi-flush, and the use of a ceiling fan cage. After the practical aspects of the fan are defined, you may move on to choosing an industrial fan that is to scale with the rest of the room and fits your aesthetic.
Whether your fan incorporates a light or not, it is important to consider the other necessary fixtures you include in your room. Some common options include industrial floor lamps, industrial wall sconces, or industrial outdoor wall lights if your fan is being used in an outdoor setting. These fixtures will pair well with your modern industrial ceiling fan’s style and positively impact your room’s practicality.
Some of the most popular industrial ceiling fan brands are Minka Aire and Fanimation. Both of these brands are well known for their incorporation of the latest technology with their industrial designs, and since these two brands are well established in the lighting and fan industry, they have fans that have many customization options and capabilities.
After finalizing the functional needs of the fan, there is still much to consider with choosing the fan’s specific appearance. Industrial fans vary with the number of blades, a metallic or non-metallic finish, shapes of blades, and mounting type. When choosing your top industrial style ceiling fan, consider the size of the room itself and how the fan will positively collaborate with the room’s existing style.
Industrial style ceiling fans are in style due to their practical, minimalist style. These fans are simple enough to harken back to industrial styles, but with the modern attention to detail and modern functionality, these fans will remain in style for the foreseeable future.
Ceiling fans with three, four, or five blades are most popular for residential use. Three blade fans are a great option for saving energy since the fan weighs less than fans with more blades, but fans with more blades tend to be quieter and add more style to the room.
Industrial ceiling fans often feature some sort of metallic finish along with a fairly minimal design. Industrial fans also use clean-cut lines and simple style to create a functional fan that blends into the rest of the room’s style.
