Now that spring is officially here, there is no better way to embrace the warm weather than by adding a new ceiling fan to your home. This year, opt for high function and unmatched style with 2012 trends that are sure to keep you cool all summer long. According to Lynda Gould, Lamps Plus design expert and Corporate Interior Design Manager, quality is key when choosing a new ceiling fan. Here are some helpful hints for selecting the right fan from Lynda and the other experts at Lamps Plus.

Hugger/Low Profile

It is no secret that consumers are trading in their large, suburban homes for trendy urban lofts, condos, and apartments. Gould says that With this shift toward small-space living, there has been a surge in the number of fan designs that cater to this type of room space. She suggests using hugger and low profile ceiling fans for smaller living spaces. These styles have a smaller blade span and dont hang very far from the ceiling, making them ideal for small rooms or rooms with low ceilings, notes Gould.

Design-Your-Own

They say that when you truly love something, it never goes out of style. At Lamps Plus, you can design your own ceiling fan that is the perfect representation of your style and d

George Ioannou

Since George Ioannou arrived on the art scene as a self published artist over a decade ago, he has been credited for making his style of artwork an acceptable and collectable technique within the market. This has spawned a whole generation of artists applying his style to walls and canvas all over the world.

Making it in to the top ten best selling living artists in 2007 was a huge and unheard of achievement for a self-published artist but Ioannou puts this down to exploiting a gap in the market that wasnt connecting with a certain group of society at the time.

Ioannous style has been created by a mixture of Andy Warhol and Comic book artists of the 80s. Infusing these styles helped Ioannou come up with his style and projected him into the art market as the collectable artist he is today.

However, a new decade ushers in new concepts for Ioannou, and 2012 sees him move his creative flare into the fashion and furniture industries with the objective of offering alternative concepts for the discerning and creative part of our ever changing society.

The Kinatechnics H-leg configuration provides strength and stability; a transverse beam connecting the leg assemblies provides worksurface support. Legs and beam are manufactured from 12 gauge cold-rolled steel and finished in durable powder coat paint.
