Things to Consider in Buying Hunter Ceiling Fans
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Tommy_Saze]Tommy Saze

There's more to Hunter ceiling fans than you think. If you don't know how to look for the right fan for your particular use, you might end up picking the wrong one. This isn't just about getting the fan design that you like. Aside from style and design, you also need to think about what you will be using the fan for and where you will be placing it.

- One of the most important considerations is the size of the room. The room size will naturally affect air distribution. Smaller fans with blades below 40" or 30" are best for small rooms like kid's bedrooms or bathrooms. Dens and kitchens on the other hand may fit the medium category and should have fan blades over 40" Large rooms like family rooms and recreation rooms should have fans blades over 50" or 60".

- You can have a very wide room with low ceiling height. You should at least make sure that you have a ceiling height that will allow seven feet between the blades and the floor. On the other hand, if have a very high ceiling, you should pick a fan that has a down rod.

- The purpose of your ceiling fan will understandably affect your choice. Some fans are really chosen more for decorative purposes than anything else. Of course, many people also choose ceiling fans for functional reasons. If you want a purely decorative fan, you could go for one that has a small motor and an intricate design. Fan models also differ according to whether they are intended for indoor or outdoor use.

- Of course, you can never put your taste as a second priority. Obviously, your choice of Hunter ceiling fans should also match your style preferences. You can pick blades in various colors and finishes. Your blade finish however, should ideally match the color or furniture theme of your room. If you like some flexibility, you can always pick a Hunter fan with reversible blades. One side can have a slightly different color or shade so you can switch blades as you change room decorations.

- Like other fans, Hunter models can also have other accessories. You may for example, pick a fan that can be controlled by remote.

- Lights are another fan accessory that you might appreciate. Hunter fans can have their own light fixtures or you can choose matching kits to fit on your fans. Naturally there are different light fixture designs. You also have to consider though whether you prefer uplights for more subtle illumination or downlights for direct lighting.

You can't just pick your Hunter ceiling fans randomly. In order for you to get the right fans for every room, you have to give it careful thought and consideration. Start by thinking of the basic points given above.
