Here is a great idea that gives the appearance of a good looking over head light fixture but easily changes to a ceiling fan when needed. The Fanimation series of retractable blade ceiling fans closes when the fan is off and unfolds when turned on for two completely different yet equally beautiful looks. The Air Shadow series comes in several styles from industrial to rustic to adapt to your decor or visual requirements. Fanimation is a great source for conventional ceiling fans that break away from the typical and make a true design statement.
