Modern Ceiling Fan Review for The Cranbrook
After we remodeled the main floor of our 1970’s ranch home, I searched the depths of the internet for a modern ceiling fan with a light. For some reason, this was a really tall order (you might remember my ceiling fan options). Admittedly, I wasn’t totally sold on the idea of a ceiling fan for this room at all. I was worried it would take away from the openness we worked so hard to achieve here. But, this space very clearly needed air circulating so my quest for a modern ceiling fan persisted.

Checking the boxes for both design and function, the Cranbrook Fan from Hunter Fan Co. basically solved all my fan related problems.
FYI – This post is NOT sponsored but because this fan is one of the most asked about features of our home, I wanted to share my honest opinions!
What I Love About the Cranbrook Ceiling Fan:
- Overall modern design with minimal light shade and angular fan blade shape
- Reversible fan blade for light or dark wood color
- Reasonably priced compared to other fans and also available on Amazon
- No hanging chain!
- Made by established company, Hunter Fan Co.
- Low profile makes it a good fit for standard ceilings
- Matching bell pendant and flush mount lights also available
Critiques of Cranbrook Fan
- Light shade is on the slightly larger size which can be tricky for small rooms, but also makes it a statement piece
- The black shade is a very true black with a bit of shine, I would prefer a matte black finish
- Installation went fairly smoothly for us, but did seem more complicated than other fans we’ve installed
- Light is controlled only by remote
We used the Cranbrook Fan daily during the summer and when we want to circulate heat. I’m overall very pleased with it. I would definitely recommend it to someone looking for a modern ceiling fan.
