Rustic Ceiling Fans Review

For those who want more than just traditional ventilation, the decorative rustic ceiling fans are made with the irons and bronzed metals in the neutral or brownish colors and represent the country styled fans that are beautiful in log homes or cabins.

Rustic is not a brand, but rather a style. People are drawn to the rustic style decorative ceiling fans due to their unique patterns and designs as well as their sturdy materials.

Some of the more intricate rustic fans have designs inspired by nature, including bears, deer and trees on their lighting or blades and are also referred to as western ceiling fans due to their decor. Others present a more antique or folk-type presentation.

If you are looking to add some country and western, folk, or some antique flair to a room as an accent piece, the rustic fans will do just that, while providing sufficient air flow to a room simultaneously, and sometimes even designed as wet location ceiling fans.

Most of the companies that manufacture traditional ceiling fans also produce their own version of rustic fans. Top rated companies that produce the rustic style are:

Casablanca
Monte Carlo
Westinghouse
Craftmade

Casablanca's Rustic Flair

Casablanca Wilderness Ceiling Fan

This is designed with moose, bears, and trees, around the motor housing in a matte black finish atop an amber mica lining. The larger, 54" blades are sure to move the air at a desirable speed. The animal scene that creates the rustic look of the entire fan can be removed, leaving a completely new appearance with the backlit mica liner around the motor housing.

The Casablanca Wilderness is accompanied by a remote for convenient control to allow changing of the circulation speed without walking across the room. It receives five out of five stars for air flow.

There is a light kit that compliments this gorgeous masterpiece made with the black matte finish and amber mica shades to match the motor housing exterior. The Casablanca Wilderness is one of the more expensive rustic fans, with a purchase price of around $650.

Rustic Outdoor Ceiling Fans

There are also wet rated ceiling fans that are made with specific characteristics, like weatherized materials, to make them resilient enough for outdoor use and quick weather changes.

The Casablanca Wailea is a great example from the line of rustic outdoor fans, with the iron finish that not only protects it from the weather for outdoor use, but also creates a stunning, yet basic presentation to wherever it is mounted.

This fan has six blades to circulate air with and is recommended for medium spaces such as kitchens or small outdoor patios. For under $170, adding a rustic appeal to an outdoor gazebo or porch room is very inexpensive with the Casablanca Wailea.

Rustic Lighting and Fans

Many of the rustic ceiling fans come with lighting that also matches the country ambience, with antique-looking light covers. Old-fashioned, nature or country western designs surround the rustic lighting and fans to create the desired facade.

If the rustic fan that you want to purchase does not come equipped with lighting, check to see if it can accept a light kit.

The Monte Carlo Great Lodge ceiling fans are a must-see. The motor housing looks like part of a tree and the blades are left with a natural pine wood appearance. The real appeal comes when the light kits and scroll kits are added. Though this one is a bit on luxury price range of over $500.

When the MC161 Light Kit and MC163 Scroll Kit are added to the rustic ceiling fan, they create a dramatic log-cabin-in-the-middle-of-the-woods effect, complete with deer antlers and cream colored lantern-like sconces to cover the upright-held lights. The illumination provided by these fans is mentioned as perfect by consumers that own them.

Consumer reviews are very positive about Monte Carlo rustic ceiling fans, and the Great Lodge fans are highly recommended for not only their style, but their quiet motors and ability to move air efficiently. They have received four out of five stars for air flow.

Durability Concerns?

The rustics fan will last for a long time, according to most buyer reports online. Due to the heavy-duty materials used, such as iron and wood, these type of fans have the rustic appearance, and they are manufactured with both style and durability in mind.

Tip: Most of the rustic ceiling fans are backed with a lifetime warranty on the motor, so be sure to check your warranty if problems occur.
