While parents are busy purchasing the colorful mobile and other accessories used to decorate a kid's room, the function and style of a ceiling fan is often overlooked. Not only can an adjustable ceiling fan provide relief during a humid summer night, but can also cultivate the budding mind and creativity of a child as they gaze into the scene you have set in the middle of their room. Below you will find a couple of ideas to get you started on a search for the perfect imagination maker for your child's room:
Westinghouse
There are two main kids-themed ceiling fans offered through Westinghouse, which provides a 30-inch blade span and are both control and light kit adaptable. A ballet-theme uses the laces of ballerina shoes to form a heart as part of the blade design with hints of pink and lavender. The color scheme is not overpowering and mainly breathes a crisp, clean vision of white. A baseball-theme showcases bats on the blades and a decorative light cover with red stitching to signify the ball. Once again, the embellishments are minimal and tasteful.
A more distracting soccer-themed fan is made with soccer balls situated on the end of each 30-inch blade – accompanied by a matching soccer glass covering. A less imposing selection for the soccer theme is made by Craftmade, which simply adds an attractive soccer center glass to their sleek black and white design with solid black 52-inch blades.
Popular Sporting Themes
Sports are a popular theme amongst ceiling fans for kid's rooms with baseball leading the way. Craftmade offers an attractive dark wood finish that is outfitted with a baseball center glass. Actually, almost all of their Energy Star-certified fans offer a 52-inch blade span and can accommodate the baseball feature. Hunter adds a twist to America's pastime with The Baseball Fan, as the high output motor powers the 44-inch blade spans with four reversible top-mounted switchblades. A die-cast catcher's mitt housing heightens the appearance, as the fluorescent baseball globe light kit accommodates a 19-watt bulb. Additional features include a home plate ceiling appliqué and control adaptable capabilities.
Animal Kingdom
If you enjoy a great adventure or two and wish to share the thrill of exploring wild nature with your child, consider the Bengal by Monte Carlo, which showcases the ripples and intensity of exotic animals. The 52-inch blade span is both light kit and control adaptable. Monte Carlo also offers a lighter and more whimsical hand-painted cheetah pattern called Cheetah that is rather easy to complement in an overall design of a child's room. The Old Chicago finish has hand-painted cheetah features on the housing and oversized blades.
Far-Off Lands
Why not explore the exotic nature of the Serengeti with a Monte Carlo ceiling fan of the same name, which decorates a kid's room with five oversized butterfly-shaped blades that clears 52 inches. The handcrafted authentic rattan motor housing and blades are accurately balanced to avoid wobbly operation. The fan offers three forward and reverse speeds. When creating a tropical or island theme for your child, consider the Islander by Fanimation, which comes remote control and light kit adaptable.
Modern Fan Company
Leave the exotic lands and sporting scene alone to explore the unknown with your child by choosing ceiling fans with a sci-fi theme. The UFO by Modern Fan Company is constructed with an integrated light fixture with blade spans of 42- and 52-inches. The gloss white with white blades is pretty bright, while the titanium with titanium blades is highly futuristic-looking.
Also, don’t forget to keep in mind that this modern fan does not use a pull chain, meaning the purchase of a separate wall or remote control becomes necessary. The company also produces the Whirlybird in 42- and 52-inch blade spans – constructed of die-cast aluminum with a mouth-blown glass covering. You may choose between glass that comes in etched opal white and an acid etched clear with a clear glass version with painted blue features.
