fan – The Interiors Addict

Ceiling fans that are both functional and beautiful!

It’s safe to say you install a fan in your home for its functionality, not its beauty! Because more often than not fans are just plain old ugly! However, the new range of fans from Beacon Lighting are a whole lot prettier than we are used to.

With a variety of options available, there’s the swirl of cool white or timber evoking the feeling of a relaxed tropical paradise; the cutting edge aerodynamic design, which is bound to create a highpoint of conversation; and the discreet and innovative Fanaway retractable blade ceiling fan.

Functionality has not been forgotten either, with the fans helping to reduce energy costs in the warmer months and also throughout winter when switched to reverse mode. Selected new season fans such as the Airfusion range are particularly energy-efficient, costing less than 3c per hour to run, while fans with DC technology cost less than 1c!

Beacon Lighting’s latest range includes indoor fans, alfresco fans and coastal fans. Check them out online.

Dyson Hot + Cool AMO5 Air Multiplier review

The Bang & Olufsen Beosound 9000, Smeg coloured refrigerators and the Dyson Ball vacuum cleaner: all appliances (well, two and a sound system) that are iconic designs in modern industrial design. Dyson will be hoping to add to that list with the Hot + Cool AMO5.

Dyson’s Air Multiplier fans were launched a few years ago with their iconic bladless design but now comes the AMO5 model which adds a bit of magic that Dyson likes to call heat. I could write a few pages on this and give you a blow by blow rundown of what essentially does the job of a pedestal fan and fan heater in one but that would waste both my time and your time. After all, if it is any more complex than a few paragraphs you really shouldn’t be investing in it. So as briefly as possible (the briefer the better for Dyson), here we go.
