What Are Modern Flush Mount Ceiling Fans?

Modern flush mount ceiling fans are ones that are mounted directly onto the ceiling; they don’t have a downrod (pole), chain, or other attachment suspending them from the ceiling. The blades are typically suspended about 5 to 10 inches from the ceiling, making it ideal for rooms where you are concerned about ceiling height. 

What Are Common Styles & Features Of Modern Flush Mount Ceiling Fans?

The most popular feature of the modern flush mount ceiling fan is that the blades are so close to the ceiling itself. Because of how close the blades are to the ceiling, these fans will provide some air flow, but not as much as other fans. Aside from those practical aspects, there are also a wide variety of styles to choose from such as modern, traditional, contemporary, industrial, and others. 

What Applications Work Best For Modern Flush Mount Ceiling Fans?

When you focus on these three areas, you can place your fan in the best spot and make sure it’s still functional. 

What Else Should I Consider When Buying Modern Flush Mount Ceiling Fans?

There are three important areas to establish from the get-go: the size of the fan, where it will hang, and if you want it to include a light or not. Once you consider those functional aspects, you can move onto considering the style of your contemporary flush mount ceiling fan. The style is influenced by the colors, the size/shape of the blades, and any other ornamental designs that may or may not be included on the fan.
