What I eyeing during the Fitness Sale…

from left to right:

Top Row
1.) Who said good form and good design can’t go hand-in-hand? This sleek and chic wall mirror blends seamlessly with your decor, while you keep an eye on your form.
2.) A compact and super affordable side table perfect for storing towels and keeping water accessible.
3.) This medicine ball storage tower makes the most of an unused corner with modern style and small footprint.
4.) My personal favorite yoga mat is durable, thick and grippy, without being tacky.

Middle Row
1.) This weight bench earns high marks with reviewers (and the Decor Sleuth for its unobtrusive design).
2.) When space is at a premium, or you want a complete weight set you can tuck away if needed, these adjustable dumbbells are a smart and attractive solution.
3.) Cork yoga blocks feel nice underhand and don’t hang onto sweaty handprints the way others do.
4.) A no-frills foam roller at a price that’s a steal, because yes, you really do need to try one.

Bottom Row
1.) A yoga bolster with a removable, washable cover so you can breathe easy in your yin and restorative classes
2.) Up your strength game with an insane deal on the AI-powered Peloton Guide personal training device.
3.) Or, snag a discount on the Peloton Bike+. The rotating screen gives you more flexibility than a mounted tv (not to mention it’s way more fun.)
4.) Finally, a stylish place to hang resistance bands, yoga straps and more! These wall hooks double for wall art.

Ceiling Fans That Are Actually Attractive (Part 2)

6 ceiling fans without lights that are actually attractive

Yes, two whole posts on fans that aren’t ugly is totally warranted. In this installment, we’re bringing you more ceiling fans that are actually attractive. This time, we’re focusing on ceiling fans without an integrated light.

If you already have recessed lighting in your room, or get a significant amount of natural light, a fan with a light kit might not be necessary. In that case, you’re in the right place. But if you need a fan that can also provide overhead light, we’ve got you covered, too. Hop over to Part 1 for all the brilliant picks.

All the Details

1) Hunter Fan Company Dempsey Ceiling Fan
52 inches
Shown in noble bronze. Also available in brushed nickel and white at the link above.
We love it so much, we featured it twice. If the Dempsey fan looks familiar, that’s because we featured the version with the light kit (also available in a 44 inch size) in Part 1.

2) Hunter Fan Company Downtown Ceiling Fan
In matte black: 60 inches | 72 inches In matte silver: 60 inches | 72 inches
Big on size and style, this fan is perfect for large great rooms and comes with both a 3″ and 6″ downrod.

3) Hunter Fan Company Cassius Indoor / Outdoor Ceiling Fan
44 inches | 52 inches
Shown in matte silver. Also available in fresh white, matte black, and premier bronze.
A damp-rated, versatile style that would look great indoors or out.

4) Hunter Fan Company Presto Ceiling Fan
52 inches
Shown in matte black.
If you’re looking for a fan with a clean, modern aesthetic at an easy price, the Presto is a great option. You can also find it in white and matte nickel, though I find the more noticeable logo on those colors to detract from the style.

5) Hunter Fan Company Kennicott Indoor / Outdoor Ceiling Fan
44 inches | 52 inches
Shown in premier bronze. Also available in fresh white, matte silver, and matte black.
This fan is a true chameleon that I see working well in a range of interiors, from transitional to modern. Plus it’s damp rated and comes with a couple down rods (4″ and 2″ for the 52″ diameter fan; 3″ and 2″ for the 44″ diameter fan).

6) Westinghouse Lighting Widespan Industrial Ceiling Fan
100 inches
Shown in matte black. Also available in brushed nickel and white.
At a whopping 100 inches, this fan gets the job done in even the biggest open concept rooms, providing an alternative to installing 2 fans. Keep in mind, you’ll need extra vertical clearance for a fan this big. Plan to hang it at least 10 feet above the floor.

In part 1, we’re rounding up the best ceiling fans with integrated lights. Need one without? We’ve got you covered in part 2.

All the Details

1.) Hunter Fan Company Dempsey Ceiling Fan
44 inches | 52 inches
Shown in noble bronze. Also available in brushed nickel and white.
If you love the look of this one, but don’t need the light, check out this version.

2.) Big Ass Fans Haiku L Smart Ceiling Fan
52 inches
Shown in caramel/black. Also available in black, white, caramel/white and cocoa/black.
In addition to a dimmable LED light, you can also control this fan via app or voice control integration!

3) Hunter Fan Company Mill Valley Indoor / Outdoor Ceiling Fan
52 inches
Shown in matte black. Also available in indigo blue and matte silver.
With a light styled like a vintage industrial pendant, this fan comes with an extra dose of style. It gets bonus points for the fun indigo blue option, and the damp rating that makes it suitable for the patio, too.

4) Honeywell Ceiling Fans Glencrest Indoor / Outdoor Ceiling Fan
52 inches
Shown with espresso bronze housing. Also available with an iron housing.
Not only is the traditional styling on this one a winner, but it’s also damp rated and comes with 2-sided blades. One side is a teak finish, while the other is dark walnut, so you can choose what works best for you.

5) Fanimation Kute Indoor / Outdoor Ceiling Fan
44 inches | 52 inches (see links below)
Shown in black. Additional colors in the 44 inch size available at the link above. Or, check out the 52 inch model in brushed nickel, brushed satin brass with white blades, dark bronze, matte greige, or matte white.
Another damp rated version, this one offers lots of options for customization, from the multiple colors to the ability to install with or without a light kit. There’s even a close to ceiling kit for rooms so you can flush mount the fan in rooms with low ceilings.

6) Fanimation Odyn Indoor / Outdoor Ceiling Fan
84 inches (includes blades & motor)
(Also available in 56, 64 or 72 inch blade sweeps, but the motor is sold separately.)
Shown in dark bronze. Many more color options available!
When you need a REALLY BIG fan, this is the one. The starburst design puts the Odyn over the top. Plus, it’s wet rated, providing the greatest flexibility of any fan on the list. The motor and fan blades are sold separately under 84 inches which is a bit unusual, but if you crave customization that could be a positive.
