Top 5 Best White Ceiling Fans
Our Top 5 Best White Ceiling Fans recommendations cover some of the best options for discreet and subtle ceiling fans. White ceiling fans are a safe option for most common Australian colour schemes – they will generally blend in with the interior colour palette and provide a tasteful cooling solution. We have highlighted a couple of different categories – such as best overall (all-rounder), best outdoor, best airflow, best value and best designer options. Ceiling fans come in all shapes, sizes, and prices, so one is bound to suit you and your space. The goal of this list is to help simplify and better understand your choices.

Best Designer
60″ Spitfire AC ceiling fan
When it comes to choosing a ceiling fan in white, the usual goal is for the fan to blend into the background. The Spitfire fan in White gives you the designer edge in white ceiling fans. Built as a ceiling fan with motor and blade colour options, the white motor paired with the White Wash blade is a very popular combination. At the business end is the powerful AC Matte White motor that transitions down from the ceiling to give prominence to the beautifully sculpted ABS White Wash blades. The White Wash blades provide a depth to the finish of the fan introducing an understated timber grain that adds character and design to complement other natural materials like flooring and furniture. Match your white ceiling finish with the elegantly simple Matte White motor and add a little contrast by pairing any of the all-weather polymer timber-style blades to suit your furniture or other permanent fixtures. At 152cm in diameter, it is an impressive feature to a living space, large bedroom or outdoor undercover area. The Spitfire also has a new LED light kit option and both can be controlled by the Mi Smart remote control to add convenience and functionality.
