A regular ceiling fan makes or breaks a room, but a fancy one? That one takes your whole room into another level and it acts almost like a work of art. And fancy doesn’t always mean expensive, you can get fancy-looking fans even if you’re in a budget and sometimes, you’ll get more than what you’re paying for.
The curved blades, the seamless design and rich finish are some of the features which fancy ceiling fans seem to have. But in terms of functionality, a highly efficient motor, smart technological options, multi-purpose remote controls are few of the main things you need to look for. What’s important is that you find one which makes your home feel comfortable and not just look good.
But no home is complete without a ceiling fan and as much as they’re a necessity, it’s okay to upgrade them from time to time because manufacturers are constantly coming up with new fancy and extravagant fans which make your area look aesthetically-pleasing. The type of fan you decide on will either make your room feel expensive or dull, there’s no in-between.

Whether you’re into simple or more complex designs, we offer a variety of fans that feel and look fancy wherever you decide to put them. Check our list below for the top 10 best fancy ceiling fans:
Home Decorators Collection Reagan 52 Inch LED Indoor Brushed Nickel Ceiling Fan
To start off the list, this Home Decorators Reagan just screams fancy, especially with the propeller blades which give off a retro and contemporary vibe to your room. Everything about this fan is so simple yet enough to make a statement in your area without trying too hard.
Features: The blade span of the Reagan measures 52 inches, making it a perfect fan for a medium or large area and trust us when we say that this one can really circulate air – 4551 CFM on its highest speed. It comes with a 16W LED light bulb that’s energy-efficient and long lasting and a remote control to adjust the light and speed of the fan from anywhere in the room. It’s also a tri-mount installation: standard, angled, and flush-mount.
Design: The unique blades look so attractive when they start to spin and they have an airplane-like design that really stands out and makes the room feel fancy. But the brushed nickel and the wood cherry blades really make this piece a focal point. If you happen to have a dark interior, the decorative canopy ring and the cover can hide any exposed screws that you might have.

River of Goods Glam 52 Inch Width Crystal Double-Lit LED Ceiling Fan
The Glam fan by River of Goods is truly a glamorous fan that makes your place feel and look fancy. The fan acts as a chandelier and a ceiling fan with the dramatic crystals that make the fan a luxurious piece for your living room or bedroom.
Features: This one is 52 inches too and it works perfectly in larger rooms that need cooling down. This one may look classic but it’s very eco-friendly since it uses two LED incandescent light bulbs and four dimmable LED lights that save you a lot of money.

Design: There are exactly 149 K-9 glass crystals and three different layers of them to bring style and illuminate the room just how you want it. The 6 light bulbs complement the crystals by making them shine even more and the reversible blades in mahogany/antique black give you options to mix and match whenever you feel like it.
