Designer Ceiling Treatments and Designer-Approved Fans:

When designing a room, it’s easy to focus on the walls, furniture, and floors—but the ceiling often gets overlooked. As a designer, I know how impactful ceiling treatments and lighting can be in making a space feel complete and elevated. For our primary bedroom makeover, we started with a bare cove ceiling, and I knew I wanted to add a stylish and impactful treatment. I decided a color-drenched shiplap ceiling was the perfect way to bring in depth and dimension. While I love a bold statement light in a bedroom, as a hot sleeper, I knew a ceiling fan was non-negotiable. But not just any fan—I wanted a designer-approved one that seamlessly fit into our bedroom aesthetic. That’s why I went straight to Hunter Fan Company


The Perfect Designer-Approved Fan

When selecting a fan, I wasn’t willing to sacrifice style for comfort. I found the Phenomenon Smart Fan from Hunter and it instantly felt like the perfect finishing touch. This ENERGY STAR® certified fan delivers everything I wanted—sleek design, whisper-quiet operation, and powerful cooling. I opted for the Matte White finish, which pops beautifully against our dark ceilings and provides just the right contrast. The fan features a six-speed, Eco-friendly DC Motor, which means it delivers exceptional airflow while using less energy than traditional models. Plus, the integrated LED light kit adds just the right amount of brightness without being overpowering.



Why Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings Matter

One of the biggest reasons I chose the Phenomenon Smart Fan is because of its energy efficiency. Its ENERGY STAR certification means that while it’s keeping us cool, it’s also consuming significantly less electricity. Over time, this leads to lower utility bills, making it a smart, cost-effective investment for any home. With my husband in law school, it's nice to lower our utility bills. The DC motor technology is a total game-changer, providing powerful airflow without excess energy use. And the best part? It operates whisper-quiet, so you get the cooling effect without the noise—ideal for a restful night’s sleep.


Installation Tips for a Seamless Setup

Here are a few tips we picked up during installation to make the process smooth and stress-free:

  • Plan for Ceiling Treatments: If you're adding elements like beams or shiplap, position the fan accordingly to avoid obstructions.

  • Mount Securely: Ensure the mounting bracket is tightly secured to a ceiling joist for maximum stability.

  • Follow the Instructions: The step-by-step guide made installation so easy, and we had the fan up and running in no time.


Why Hunter Stands Out

What sets Hunter Fan Company apart is its commitment to energy efficiency and long-term cost savings. Their fans are built to be eco-friendly and high-performance without sacrificing design.

The Phenomenon Smart Fan is a perfect example of thoughtful engineering, delivering both form and function. Not only have we reduced our energy consumption, but we’ve also enhanced the overall design of our bedroom. It’s a choice that looks good, feels good, and saves money in the long run—a total win.

Final Thoughts

If you want to elevate your bedroom (or any space) with a fan that delivers on style, energy efficiency, and cost savings, the Hunter Fan Co Phenomenon Smart Fan is a must-have. Remember—design doesn’t stop at the walls. Look up, and make your ceiling a beautiful and functional part of your home.
