What are Fandeliers? And How to Use Them in Your Home

Fandelier refers to a fixture that combines a chandelier and a fan. Many people use fandeliers in their home because they want the aesthetic appeal of a chandelier while getting the functionality of a ceiling fan. This makes fandeliers the perfect choice for homeowners who don't want to sacrifice style for functionality. 

Fandeliers can fit in several parts of your home. The most common place people use fandeliers is in a bedroom. It makes sense because bedrooms are typically spaces where ceiling fans or chandeliers are used. So marrying the two and using a fandelier is an appropriate choice. 

We love the Lyon Eight Light Fandelier by Savoy House in Martina Gieske's (@thelivedinlook) primary bedroom. The beautiful chandelier shape is fashion-forward in a versatile warm brass finish. The functional fan is cleverly concealed. 

Additionally, another great space to use a fandelier is a home office. Home offices can get hot with the many devices needed throughout the workday. In addition to providing appropriate lighting, fandeliers provide your home office with a good amount of airflow. Unlike ceiling fans, where the airflow can be too much (think papers flying off your desk), fandeliers provide just enough air to keep you cool and your desk papers in place. 

The Odeon LED Fandelier by Maxim Lighting is one of our best-selling fandeliers. This would make a great addition to any home office. It's a timeless choice with a callback to an era of glitz and glamor. 

Other spaces that people like to use fandeliers are in living and family rooms. Depending on your ceiling height, you can select a fandelier with a taller or lower profile. The Brookside Jasmine Roth Fandelier by Hunter Fan is a perfect option for living rooms. It can have added downrods for length or functions as a flush-mount. The fan components are concealed by the drum shade.
