I love updating fans. It is easy and inexpensive and you can get a look like no other. How you do it depends on you. Some people like to have it disappear like voila. Some like it to be a decorating accent. This is what I have done in our 40 year old house so far. Before picture in my son's room. You can't see it well. Sorry. Basically it is the standard brass and wood look. We're going for a more modern look in his room. I painted the metal a kind of hammered silver and then the blades a kind of teal. Ignore the popcorn ceiling. That is is still on the To Do list. I loved these pulls I found - they are a light bulb and fan. A little more than I normally do because changed the shades as well. To show the pulls better. edit: ok for whatever odd reason, you will have to click on the picture to see the pulls. This in my daughter's room: We stenciled the flowers with a silver sharpie. Then used a little bling. So if you want the fans to blend in to the ceiling it would be really easy to do with white spray paint. You could do the whole thing or just the blades. If you want to keep it real conservative and keep the wood then I would do the oak. What other colors do you have in the room?

I detest white ceiling fans and unfortunately I have many in this house. I have been changing them out regularly. I changed out 5 during the flood redo. There are white in all 4 bedrooms, I most definitely will be changing the master bedroom one. Actually since we like that fan my husband bought spray paint and is going to take it apart and paint it. I would definitely go with a darker color either the black or a very dark oil rubbed bronze. The white always look dirty too.

They are functional of course but not aesthetic as there is no comparison between even the most "elegant" ceiling fan and a chandelier or other ceiling lighting fixture aesthetically. I might have them on a verandah or three season porch or a family room with a very casual vibe or outdoor vibe but I would never juxtapose with furniture I have selected for a living room or master bedroom because it would clash with the design vision in those rooms - my ceiling fixtures were carefully chosen to add to the decor of the room. If I needed some kind of ventilation apart from my A/C or open windows, I would probably get one of those very sleek well reviewed Dyson fans which are unobtrusive and which could be stowed away when not necessary. I have a very slim tower fan which I have used for this purpose when I wanted to augment the circulation in my master bedroom but I stash it away except for those relatively infrequent occasions when I need to supplement the A/C or just open windows isn't enough. And I used to love lying in bed with the old fashioned window fan that brought in the wonderful night air.

It’s two full sofas. The existing fireplace I will be removing and putting one where the tv is located with builts in. I just don’t know what color of ceiling fan to go with or coffee table.
