If you didn’t know, you don’t have to sport your fan’s stock blades. Ceiling fan blade covers help give a room a refreshed look. Maybe your fan blades are worn out or you don’t really like the color. If you’re renting an apartment and aren’t able to replace or paint the blades, then blade covers help personalize your home. Or you could want to update your ceiling fan without dropping the money for an entirely new fan. Whatever reason you want them, ceiling fan blade covers come in different styles. Check out our tips on how to pick out the best set for your needs.
Ceiling fan blade covers were made to add a bit of personal style to your ceiling fan. Not only that, but they can help prevent the massive build-up of dust that happens when you don’t dust the blades often enough. If your fan blade covers are made of fabric, you can give them a simple wash with your laundry, making cleaning much easier. Other types of blade covers can be removed and cleaned much easier than reaching up to clean the fan’s stock blades.
Blade covers come in either fabric material or lightweight wooden material.
- There is a larger variety of fabric colors and patterns to choose from.
- Covers made from wooden materials have a more elegant and exotic look.
- If your current residence is temporary (apartment lease, dorm room, etc.) or you move around a lot, then fabric covers will be much easier to carry around and transport.
- Wood is a more organic, natural decor that has a better appeal to human instinct.
Consider the current design and theme of the room you would like to place the ceiling fan blade covers in. If your decor and furniture have a monochrome theme, then choose blade covers that either fit the monochrome theme or go with a complementary color for a quirky pop.
Modern and contemporary decor can do very well with “leaf-like” blade cover designs made of palm, bamboo, or other types of wood. Especially if the furniture in the room is mainly wooden, it might mesh better with the current theme rather than fabric covers.
When it comes to decor, the ceiling fan blades are definitely overlooked. So if you’re stumped on where to even start looking for ceiling fan blade covers, simply scroll below to browse a selection.
