Modern ceiling fans are popular among people who have built a new home or just modernized the look of their old home. Many of these fans don’t have the dark cherry and oak that you will find in a more traditional ceiling fan. In many cases a modern ceiling fan will have 3 blades and a simple look, without textured designs.

There are a number of these fans on the market, and I can literally reel off about a dozen I think highly of. However, to keep things simple, I have chosen three modern ceiling fans I think will fit into the décor of any contemporary home. I have listed them below for your convenience:

Minka Aire F518-BN Contemporary Ceiling Fan – this fan is an absolute eye catcher that has a true retro feel to it. It is finished in brushed nickel and includes 3 blades, which really helps to set it apart from other fans. It can be used in a townhouse, condo, etc, and will look just as good in a home office as your kitchen.

Modern Fan BAL-BA 52″ Aluminum Ceiling Fan – if you are into the futuristic look, this is easily the wildest looking ceiling fan you will see. This fan manages to keep it simple, yet be a conversation piece unto itself. It has very clean lines and a sleek look because the blades are made of painted aluminum.

Casablanca TRIH-45 Trident Ceiling Fan – this is probably my favorite of the three models. It was designed to look like an airplane propeller, and it comes in three different finishes; snow white, graphite and brushed nickel. All three offer a very distinct look that truly stands out.

All of these modern ceiling fans offer a much different style than your traditional fans. If you want something that is different and that can be the centerpiece of any room, all three models above fit the bill.
