We need to install 2 ceiling fans - how do you decide what color to pick?
Base it on the flooring? Base it on the furniture? Wall color?

We went with white fans to blend into the ceilings better. We wanted fans for their function but I usually prefer fanless lighting on ceilings so we just went with something that wouldn't stick out.

Most of the time we choose white to blend in with the ceiling. In our living room we have a brown fan. It hangs from a wooden beam and white would have stuck out more I think. We have ceiling fans in almost every room except the bathrooms and dining room.

@Shantuck: @Mrs. Pickle: we have white in the bedrooms and I assumed they were put there to blend as well - wasn't sure if we should follow this rule in the living room too - thanks!

we like white (and no lights unless you don't have enough light in the room). If I had to buy them again I'd buy remote controls

At our other house we had darker wood floors, so I thought the wood colored fans looked nicer. At this house we have lighter floors and smaller bedrooms. The wall color is white along with the ceiling, so I thought white would look better.
There are so many more options for the darker fans though!

We have two wood tone fans. I love the one in our bedroom but I hate the one in the living room (it came with the house). I am thinking about putting a fan in my girls' room and am leaning toward wood just to match the others.

We have a black fan because everything else in the room is white and it's a freaking cool fan. Ha! We only have one in our master bedroom.

I like the look of the ones with nickel or silver metal with the palm frond blades.
