Once the bane of an interior designer’s existence, today, ceiling fans are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. And that’s good news for those who live in areas where air movement is critical. Whether or not a home has central air, stylish ceiling fans can keep its occupants feeling comfortably cool day and night. They can even create some peaceful white noise that makes falling asleep easier.
