Thank you ceiling fans!

I am in in Cairo, Egypt right now and it is getting hot, hot, hot here! Air conditioning can be a bit of a pain as it's often loud and uses a lot of energy so I tend to look first to the humble ceiling fan.... It's a simple idea that works really well.

I am in a cafe right now and the ceiling fans are giving me nice cooler rotated air to make my day much nicer :)

At home I have them too. Obviously you want something that looks good at home and luckily many companies such as Minka Aire fans offer a variety of great choices. Ours are the kind that have 3 lights above and then a fan below.
