New Webinar: Appliance Trends to Follow and Avoid at All Cost
Traditional never really goes out of style. I consider traditional like timeless. Traditional ceiling fans can be formal or ornate, inspired by classic architectural styles that can add warmth to a space.
A few things to consider before buying your ceiling fan:
1. What room is the fan going into?
2. What is your ceiling height?
3. Do you have sloped ceilings? (Vaulted? Cathedral?)
You don't want to get a fan that is too big or too small for your space. Having a sloped ceiling requires an extra component called the sloped ceiling adapter so the fan will sit straight on the slope.
Here are some great ceiling fan options with a traditional style.
Minka Aire Bolo Collection 52"
F620-DBB - $249
The Bolo collection is a nice traditional fan with 5 blades. This collection comes in 4 different finishes.
- Brushed nickel
- Oil rubbed bronze
- Dark brushed bronze
- Belcaro walnut
The light is included has 3-60W candelabras, includes a handheld remote control system and also has a cap for non-light use.
Minka Aire Craftsman 52"
F840-CF - $519
The craftsman is inspired by the craftsman architecture of the early 1900s. It can also be used for interior and exterior.
Minka Aire Supra 32", 44", 52"
F568-WH - $163 (Without Light Kit)
What I love about the Supra is you have option in size, with or without a light kit, and different finishes.
When getting a ceiling fan that is a pull chain and you want to convert it so that you can use a remote or wall control, you will need to purchase a receiver and wall/remote control. (The receiver is what the remote/wall control talks to) RCS223 remote and receiver is $59.95.
What is great about any of the Supra collection is that you can put a universal light kit on the fan!
Note: Please contact us for pricing on different light kits.
Minka Aire Napoli 56" & 68"
334685 - $579
If you are looking for that traditional/ornate look here is the Napoli collection that comes in a 56” and a 68” fan (the 68” are for great rooms or larger rooms) what I like about this fan is that you can get a matching medallion to go with it! (Pictured below)
CM7022-TSP - $119
Minka Aire Delano & Delano II
F711-PN - $349
One of our popular traditional fans is the Delano.
The Delano comes in 5 different finishes:
- Pewter with Natural walnut blades
- Dark restoration bronze with dark walnut blades
- Polished nickel with silver blades
- Kocoa Finish with reversible blades medium maple and dark walnut blades
- Driftwood finish with drift wood blades
The Delano II is for lower ceilings but still want a traditional look.
The Delano II comes in 3 finishes
- Dark bronze
- Polished nickel
- Pewter
Minka Aire Airus 54"
66050 - $479
What is great about the Airus is it has the down light and additional light shining up for more lighting
This fan comes in 3 options for finish
- Oil rubbed bronze
- White
- Brushed nickel
Traditional Fans for Larger Rooms
Minka Aire Kola-XL 60"
X0278 - $339
The kola-xl is nice for a great room, you can leave it as is or you have the option to put a light kit if needed.
- Kocoa Finish

- White
- Dark brushed bronze
Minka Aire Groton 56"
F681-PN - $459
One of the new fans from Minka Aire is the 56” Groton five blade, it comes in multiple finishes.
What I really like is that this fan can be used for interior or exterior, and on a side note you could have this fan in the living room and use this Hudson valley flush mount light in a hallway where you would see both fan and light.
Final Thoughts
What is great about a ceiling fan is that its purpose is to move air in a room. Having central air or an air conditioner chills the air, but a ceiling fan pushes the air around, which is nice to have in the winter time as well to move the hot air around. For a bedroom it is nice to be able to have cool air from the fan than to have the AC running at night.
