Amazon Finds: Modern Ceiling Fans (That Don't Look Like Fans!)

in

Have you heard about fandeliers? I know I know the name is bad but a bladeless (really hidden blade) ceiling fan option is out there with some really fabulous styles! I personally love having a fan in every room but I don’t love the profile of a traditional ceiling fan in spaces like a living room, bedroom or kitchen so this is my new go to!

It’s cool breeze meets modern aesthetic and I have rounded up some of my favorites from Amazon!

Each of these ceiling fans have the following attributes:

  1. Lights

  2. Multiple speeds

  3. A Remote

Currently each ceiling fan is UNDER $200.00 to fit a variety of decor budgets.

A. HUMMINGBIRD Rattan Flush Mount Ceiling Fan in Gold

I’m a sucker for anything gold and rattan honestly. It bridges the gap between modern and vintage styles making it so flexible!

B. LETMAREY Hemp Wrapped Birdsnest Low Profile Fan.

The darker tone of the hemp add extra personality here. This feels like it can sit happily in farmhouse or midcentury modern settings. The criss cross weaving makes it visually interesting as well.

C. ZHESHIRUI Rattan Caged Low Profile Fan

Light, airy and a touch of boho. I love the modern angles agains the organic materials. It’s one of those pieces that would look amazing in both modern or traditional spaces.

D. WUYULE Crystal Fan with Retractable Blades

This one has those classy vintage vibes in the shape of the glass and gold encasement. A super cool feature of this fan is that when it is not in use the blades fold in so you can focus on the elegant light design. 

E. SHITOUGU Rattan Woven Cage Low Profile Fan

The soft rounded shape of this face adds an organic flow to a space. I feel the circular glow adds an additional ambient lighting effect in the evenings.

F. LODADRA Beaded Trim Flushmount Fandelier

This fan takes the traditional look of a beaded chandelier and adds air movement to it. Win win. The little beaded bauble in the middle is honestly my favorite part.

G. LUANSKY Scalloped Bead Flushmount Fan

Though beaded like the Lodadra ceiling fan this one has a totally different personality. There is something soft and elegant about scalloping.

H. YARETRO Woven Cage Fandelier with Reversible Motor

Sitting lower than the other fans this would work especially well on higher ceilings. The gold metal and the organic shape compliment eachother really well.

I. ZHESHIRUI Rattan Low Profile Fan in Black

I love the contrast of this one with the dark black iron against the light brown rattan. I’ve always tried to blend my traditional ceiling fans into the surroundings so as to not draw focus but this style is a worthy presence.

Living Room Refresh with Boutique Rugs

in ,

Have you ever spilled an entire iced coffee on your area rug? Cool cool…me neither…well, except for when I did exactly that like 2 weeks ago. I tried to clean it up but the damage was done. Cue the somber music.

Obviously that meant it was time to go area rug shopping with three things on my must haves list:

1. Washable (since ya girl clearly can’t be trusted)

2. Durable for the high traffic area

3. Style that worked with my space

After some browsing on Boutique Rugs, adding to cart and a touch of overthinking I narrowed it down to my top three area rugs:

Each one of these area rugs are absolute stunners, washable and better yet - affordable - so choosing just one for my living room was, well, a challenge. BUT I did it! I found the ONE!

(Insert drum roll)

I went with The Avel Washable Area Rug from Boutique Rugs and I am in freaking LOVE!

The Avel has rich blue, burgundy and beige tones which elevate the entire room and it’s so soft! I ordered a 7'10" x 10' and it fits my space perfectly plus the rubber backing means it stays put.

The best part of all? NO FEAR when it comes to spilled iced coffee now. I’m unstoppable! As long as I get enough sleep, don’t think about anything that makes me nervous or have to talk in public…I’m unstoppable!

in , , ,

1. Lifestyle

This is an ideal way to showcase your products in a “real life” setting to exhibit their use and purpose. Additionally this allows your customer to envision your product in their own space. We create you product story from the viewpoint of a fictional customer.

2. Styled

Styled photos are a fusion of product listing and lifestyle. The focus of the photo will remain on your product but the inclusion of props or creative displays adds visual intrigue to the photos.

3. Modeled

Featuring your product on or being used by a model is a highly effective marketing tool. This brings your design to life. This can be as simple as a hand showing off a ring to a head to toe feature. The clothing, setting and model are all visual representation of your brand.

4. Flatlay

A social media classic. Flatlays are taken from above providing a birds-eye view of your product. The inclusion of on brand props that compliment your product completes the styled look.

5. Product

Clean, minimal - just your product. Perfect for listings and wholesale catalogs. Remember to let your photographer know if you would like additional shots such various angles, labels, variations, etc.

Some Additional Tips!

  • Provide me with any information you have on your ideal audience. Even if you are still working that out let’s talk through what you do know and figure out those details together.

  • Share inspiration. Not sure how to describe something? Send me a picture, show me your Pinterest board, link me to an account. My goal is never to copy but understanding what appeals to you guides me in my design.

  • Tell me what you DON’T like! Pink not your thing? No problem. Not into florals? Boom - they are gone.

  • Check out my portfolio. See what clicks with you. This lets me know the angles, lighting, etc that you like.

  • Don’t feel weird explaining to me the “vibe” or “feeling” you are going for. If you want to portray kindness with your candles we can do that.
