Vintage wall fans are a perfect way to satisfy the country’s growing appetite for simpler times. Experts say that “nostalgia” is always in style, and these seven wall fans prove their point! Installing a wall fan makes it a permanent part of your decor scheme, so you’ll want to choose one that looks great in combination with the rest of your decor and furnishings. They’ll provide a breeze and can be directed where needed without taking up floor or tabletop space.
Powerful Vintage Wall Fan
Vento
With its triaxial design, this vintage wall fan can tilt to almost any angle. It uses a pull chain to turn on/off and switch between high and low speeds. Its measurements are 14.3” high by 4.6” wide and 12.9” deep. The attached cord is 81.9” long.
Designer Advice:
This retro wall fan hangs like a station clock, which ups the style quotient on its own. You can choose between an all-black fan, a walnut color, or a white fan with chrome supports and a holder. Don’t choose the black fan if there is nothing else black in your room, as it will visually demand too much attention.
Oscillating Vintage Wall Mounted Fan
FlintGarden
This 8” vintage wall fan has three blades to help move the air around in your home. It comes with a plug-in cord but can be easily hardwired by an electrician if you want. The fan is made entirely from plastic. A pull chain controls both the fan speed and oscillation.

Designer Advice:
The combination of walnut and black on this vintage wall fan would perfectly suit a mid-century modern design style. If you don’t have walnut or teak wood furnishings, you could include “orange-hued” wicker baskets and gold or bronze metallics to tie the room together. And if you don’t currently have any black in your room, it’s easy to add some black frames to your art or place black decorative accessories to relate to the black on the fan.
Aluminum Vintage Wall Fan
Ebern Designs
Made of aluminum, this plug-in vintage wall fan can move 1181 cubic feet every minute. The unit is 21” tall, including the wall-mounted arm, and the fan head is 13” round. It extends 16” into your room, and while the fan head doesn’t oscillate, it can be pivoted to change direction.

Designer Advice:
The only thing better than a vintage wall-mounted fan is one that comes in a wide variety of colors like this one. You can choose from four metallic colors, black, white, and five vibrant colors to coordinate with your color palette. Choose from one of the fun colors like agua marinha, amestista, green, rubi or safira for a kids’ room and match it to the bedding and artwork already there.
Indoor/Outdoor Vintage Wall Fan
This vintage wall fan sticks out 20” from the wall to the end of the metal fan head. It has a 30° downward angle once it’s mounted on the wall. You can adjust the angle and projection by simply altering the field-cuttable gooseneck.
Designer Advice:
The manufacturer of this vintage wall mount fan patterned the arm after the Art Nouveau design style. This style embraces graceful curves, and the double repeat of the curved line is something you can incorporate into your own design style. Think of curved arms on your sofa and armchairs, fluid lines in your artwork, and rounded shapes in vases and other accessories.

Found in a West Virginian estate sale, this antique wall fan is in great shape other than the cord, which has frayed where it meets the fan mount. The fan has an old-style switch that flips from off to high, medium, and then low. It is made from gray aluminum.
Hardwired Vintage Wall Fan
This hardwired retro wall fan comes with a Decora-style wall switch that controls the blade speed and oscillation mechanism. You can choose between a fan requiring 110 or 220 volts. Unless you specify, you will be shipped the lower voltage model.
