The problem with ceiling fans is that they are highly visible and unless you are decorating your tropical getaway with a fan that has palm-frond blades, they don't always fit in terribly well with the decor. Decorating disaster can be easily avoided with the Artemis Ceiling Fan, which has translucent, aerodynamic blades that are inconspicuous when the fan is not in use and invisible when on. The ceiling attachment comes in brushed nickle and takes a halogen bulb. Two down rods are included, so you can adjust the fan to hang from 3.5" to 6". Price: $598.

Flowers with functionality, like the Sarah Clock, are something we wouldn't mind seeing more of. Somehow, flowers make things a little more fun. They can also brighten up a room, as the Flowerpower Fan does in each of its six bright colors. Far more aesthetically pleasing than the fan you might have had back in your dorm room at college, the fan blades on this 3-speed fan are made from high-density foam, meaning that they are safe enough to not require enclosure in a metal cage. It also means that, unlike more traditional fans, these are easy to clean and will not simply push dust around. Price: £395.
