A fandelier, also known as a chandelier ceiling fan, is a luxury hybrid fixture that combines the breathtaking elegance of a high-end chandelier with the functional air circulation of a ceiling fan. These unique ceiling fans often feature clear or retractable blades that disappear when not in use, making them the perfect centerpiece for dining rooms, master bedrooms, and grand entryways. From the glamorous sparkle of a crystal ceiling fan to the rustic charm of a caged ceiling fan with light, our collection offers a sophisticated solution for those who refuse to sacrifice style for comfort. Experience the perfect blend of high-end design and powerful airflow.
Quick Guide: Fandelier Direction for Summer & Winter
To maximize year-round comfort and energy efficiency, adjust your fandelier's rotation based on the season. Many smart fandeliers allow you to change direction via a smartphone app.
- Summer (Cooling): Set the fan to spin Counter-Clockwise. This creates a direct downdraft, providing a cooling breeze.
- Winter (Warming): Set the fan to spin Clockwise at a low speed. This pulls cool air up and forces warm air trapped near the ceiling back down into the room.
