Cool Ceiling Fan Options for Small Spaces
Compact ceiling fans for compact small rooms
It is indeed “hot in the city” as Billy Idol sang. Rapid urbanisation and human activity are the main causes behind Singapore’s rising surface temperatures according to the Meteorological Service Singapore. But instead of reaching for the air-con remote, consider the more eco-friendly ceiling fan.
These days, you can find ceiling fans of all sizes and types, perfect for fitting into the smallest spaces in your home, from kitchens and balconies to small bedrooms.
How small can you go?
The ‘mini’ ceiling fan ranges in size from 74 to 91 centimetres and are suggested for spaces under 7 square metres, like bathrooms, laundries, breakfast nooks and small kitchens.
