Low ceiling fan
Comments (9)

last yearI just googled this information which is readily available from various Australian web sites. 2.4m ceilings, fan must be floor to blade 2.1m and 300mm fan to ceiling.
There are lots of fans from various retail shops that are timber and tropical looking.

Lighting ideas for low(ish) ceiling
Comments (10)What about something groovy like one of these? It has probably been on one of those fantastical "reality" renovating TV shows, but just such a funky option for a low ceiling - or as a wall feature :) I think Beacon and/or About Space had a variation recently??...See MoreDining room lighting with a ceiling fan.
Comments (42)Hi new to all this but thought I'd pass on some fan tips; Be very selective of the shape of the fan blades. They all look stylish but in my experience the flatter the blade the less air they move. We have now gone back to the original metal fans with the blades that bend at the edge, http://regencyfan.com/industrial, our fans are more stylish than the one shown (the blade shape is nice and clear in this example). Our weather in no where near as warm as yours I'd hate for you to make the same mistake we made, twice, before we learnt. Look at the fans motor size, some of the expensive and lots of the cheap ones have small motors that don't last long, unfortunately price does not dictate quality in this case so don't get caught out. My husband is a mechanic and this is one of his "things" when every we shop for electrical items (drills, fans, pumps etc.) always make sure the motor is quality and large enough to do the job and last. How may speeds. We have 8 fans in our home, one is in our extension and was purchased at a different time; It's low speed is realllllllly slow the next one is so fast it's like a cyclone and I'm not game to try the third one in case it dismounts from the ceiling. Be careful not to mount fans too close to down lights or you get a flickering effect caused by the blade passing over the light. Try not to mount the fan directly over the dining table as it will cause food to go cold. I'm with mydesignobsession when it comes to style/look I prefer visitors see my wonderful eclectic decoration then my ceiling fans! Good luck...See MoreCeiling Slant is too low?
Comments (4)the "apex" is the highest part of the roof not the lowest ...is this a renovation for an existing house or plans for a whole new home? if they want the apex to be lower changing the angle of the roof/ceiling can lower the apex without lowering the low end so much and 3.6m is very high and 2.1m is very low so we need to see the plans and know Councils' specific reasons to better understand the problem...See MoreWhich ceiling fan to suite an art deco ceiling rose?
Comments (4)For the best ceiling fan designs try Urban Lighting, they have a couple of shops in Sydney and some very unique designs in both traditional and contemporary. I have a deco house too and am looking at their lighting products for our new extension. The lines in your ceiling rose are sharp and square so I think a modern fan would look great, but luckily with deco you can go either way. The link is https://urbanlighting.com.au/collections/fans and below are some from their modern range which may compliment but not compete with the detail in your ceiling rose:...See Moredreamer

last yearWe installed these a couple of days ago. (7 of them throughout) our ceilings are also 2.4 and I was very concerned about how they would look. We chose these for the slim profile. It has turned out well but we will turn them off for taller visitors!

last yearWell we have only just bought this house (QLD) and the 2.4 ceilings were very hard for me to accept but you can’t get everything on your wish list…the ceilings have already felt too close!
The fans have not in my opinion made a big impact of feeling dangerously low (I’m only 5’3) but I think a bulkier fan would be more obtrusive. As fans go they are reasonably discreet.
We have some tall friends that might find it alarming 😂

We have the same - low ceilings but I console myself that the house is easier to keep warm in winter! Photo 1 is our bedroom fan, which I don't like - it feels intrusive in the room. Photo 2 is our fancy "low ceiling" fan, which we love. It doesn't announce its presence like the other one and is super quiet and efficient. Photo 3 is the remote for the loungeroom fan if you are interested in details. I highly recommend it - it was expensive at $400+ but worth it
