Hykolity 60 Inch DC Motor Farmhouse Ceiling Fan
First things first, the blades in this Hykolity fan make all the difference! The 6 wooden blades offer you optimum comfort and breeze, moving up to a 5374 CFM capacity which is pretty impressive for an indoor area.
Features: Being 60 inches, this makes a great use for larger rooms and it comes with an integrated LED light kit which is always a bonus. The motor is also reversible, and being a DC one it means you’ll save a lot of money but it distributes a great amount of airflow at a rate of 228 CFM/W and we’ll argue that’s pretty good compared to other wood fans. To adjust the brightness, timer, speed, and switching on/off, a handy remote control with 6 speeds is there to help you.
Design: It’s a pretty straightforward design and simple but what we love the most is the black and grey colors which are a rustic and contemporary combination that always looks good. It’s also oval-shaped so its shape definitely is one of the first things you notice, but everyone loves the look of it. The blades are made out of plywood which is a high-quality type of wood and they’re also reversible with a walnut finish on one side and driftwood on the other to give you a little extra versatility.
What we like:
- Cutting-edge features
- Fully dimmable LED light bulb
- Looks amazing in a transitional room décor
- Energy-star rated is always a good thing
- Great efficiency rating for being a wood fan
- Fully functional remote control

Another top favorite when it comes to windmill-like wood ceiling fans is this Springer Windmill by Progress Lighting which has such an intricate and eye-catching design that performs as well as it looks, if not better.
Features: This is also 60 inches and it has a large width of blades too but what’s great about it is that the blades pitch at a greater angle so the fan moves at an insane amount of airflow – 6337 CFM and 206 CFM/W. This one also uses a DC motor so it makes sense that it’s highly-efficient but you can also get this in a 52-inch size too. The handheld remote control offers you all the functions and settings like the 6 speeds, reverse function and much more.
Design: The stunning windmill design makes this stand out from the rest because it looks amazing whether you put it in a modern or rustic room, and it just blends right in. It comes in a rich distressed walnut finish and that’s gives it that rustic and industrial flair, but it’s also available in an antique nickel and matte black which would be great for a more modern interior.
