I never considered a ceiling fan until I saw the real pretty one my neighbor installed. It's not clunky at all -- it's a sleek white contemporary fan that blends into the ceiling.
You barely see it but boy can you feel it -- it cools the entire downstairs in the summer.
She also uses it a lot in the winter. Ceiling fans are a great save energy choice for wintertime. By changing the direction of the blades, you can displace cooler air up toward the ceiling, allowing the warmer air (which normally rises) to settle closer to the ground.
Bottom line is fewer trips to crank the thermostat.
But obviously this is still pretty much a secret to everyone because a lot of ceiling fans are on sale now. I'm going shopping ...
This one above is the one I really want ... isn't it lovely?
At $650, this designer model is an investment, but more utilitarian models like the one below from Lowe's go for around $100 at home improvement stores. I really love this one for it's simplicity and clean lines.

Make sure when you buy one that it is not only looks good but that it really works. There are some really nice ones out there but the don't do much for moving the air around. I believe it depends on the length and number of blades that are on the fan. It does make a difference in the summer and winter we have one in every room and have them on most all year round.
