I picked out white ceiling fans for the bedrooms because they were standard height ceilings and I figured the white would just blend in with the ceiling color. In the beach cottages we stayed in they had standard height white ceiling with brown/wood tone ceiling fans and they looked fine. When the fan goes out in my bedroom, I would consider a wood tone fan.

Our ceilings are 11 ft in living area and needing two fans. Bedrooms will be 10 ft and one of the bedrooms 11 ft.

Just thought if there was any wood in the room, perhaps a color toned fan looks okay, but again, the white to blend may because I do not want it noticed?

Living area may be different; perhaps they need to be viewed as part of the decor and therefore not white.

If you don't want them noticed, I would do white if you have a white ceiling - especially with doing two.

I've never walked in a room and thought, that fan sure does stand out and is ugly...honestly most times I don't even notice them. Can you post pic's of the rooms..I think in your living room as you said, a woodtone would look like it's part of the décor. Now fans in a large or tall rooms that have been wood tone I have walked in and said "oh that's a nice fan"...not all ceiling fans are ugly IMO. I know some would "never" have ceiling fans in their home but depending on what are you live, some areas almost require ceiling fans to help move the air.

I'm not a fan of white blades as they show the dirt and dust.

i need to replace some of my broken brass colored fans and I'm trying to decide between brushed nickel and black.

I prefer ceiling fans to be as inconspicuous as possible, so I always match the ceiling, which in my case is usually white.
