Capure The True Pioneer Spirit: Rustic Ceiling Fans
Do you possess that love for the great outdoors - does just being out with all the animals, trees and birds fill you with a sense of peace and serenity? Well, you can bring a little of that flavor indoors, with rustic ceiling fans.
When Might You Prefer Rustic Ceiling Fans?
Many folks today have homes that were constructed as log cabins. Others need a ceiling fan in a hunting lodge, or summer quarters in a vacation spot. In any of these situations, you might find rustic ceiling fans will match your room decor and ambience perfectly!
If you choose to install rustic ceiling fans, you should always remember to choose lighting and other accessories that are also rustic-looking in design and appearance. There is nothing worse than having rustic ceiling fans with attached lighting in a contemporary or old-world (traditional) design. One of the most interesting designs in rustic ceiling fans that we have seen incorporates a 'hunting' theme - faux antlers are used as decorations for the motor unit and can even be purchased as a light kit - with each light being securely held by what looks like an antler. This type of rustic ceiling fan would be just perfect for a hunting or fishing lodge Typically, rustic ceiling fans make use of lighter shades of wood - such as pine or light maple. Some units also incorporate a faux-leather look, reminiscent of the old west. If you will be installing new rustic ceiling fans, you must take special precautions to make sure that they can be properly mounted. This is because the walls and ceilings of many summer cottages and lodges are thinner than what is found in most homes today. Also, many lodges and cottages may not have up-to-date wiring that can handle the power drain of the latest generation of rustic ceiling fans. If necessary, have your room wiring inspected to make sure that your rustic ceiling fan can be safely installed. If the wiring is old or out-of-date, you will need to have it replaced before you can install your fan unit.
