Just curious if anyone has one. Its not a common amenity around here. I have ceiling fans everywhere else in the house and its getting so hot here that I'm tempted to add a fan to the dining room too.
No, I don’t, nor in the kitchen, but I have fans in every other room. My parents have fans in their kitchen, which I love because it gets mighty hot cooking up a big meal. I wouldn’t want a fan on while I was sitting down to dinner, but if you used the dining room for other things, it could definitely work.
Not in our formal dining room, but we do have one in our breakfast nook. If you use the dining room often enough, I’d go with the comfort of a ceiling fan. If it is only used on rare occassions, I’d skip it.
I love ceiling fans, even if they aren’t considered tasteful. We have one in each bedroom.
I have one in the kitchen but not the dining room.
absolutely not. We live in a temperate climate, but no a.c. so we do rely heavily on fans to keep cool in the summer. Ceiling fans are a necessary evil. As it is, fans with lights are hideous- just hideous- There are no attractive light/ fan combos out there, I’ve looked. Even if your willing to spend $800 on a fixture, they still are awkward bulky contraptions. I will have one lovely decorative fixture in my house if it kills me and that room is my dinning room.
Yes we do but our dining room is not a formal area where a chandelier would be expected.
Ally - nope. Just a nice light fixture.
Only room we have a ceiling fan in is the master bedroom.
We have a nice chandelier in the formal dining room and a nice light fixture in the formal living area… These areas are kept very formal.
We do have ceiling fans in all 4 bedrooms, family room, breakfast area and game room. We use them all the time.
Not in our new house, but yes, it our old one.
The new house has a chandelier. I’m thinking of getting a fandelier… So nifty and beautiful. The fan is INSIDE it. My bestie has one and I’m so envious. Lighting and Locks - Your best source for Legrand Adorne, Minka Aire Wave Ceiling Fans, and more!
It’s the only part of the house that does have a ceiling fan. It’s also the hottest part of the house (no central air).
We do not have a formal dining room. But we did install on in the dining area. Our dining area was just so miserably hot during meals. We were reluctant, because you don’t see it too often. And we have a great room, so the living dining and kitchen areas are basically one large room. We thought it might look funny. It looks fine and it is so nice to no longer sweat through dinner!
I used to in my old house. It was great. But it did blow paper napkins around!
I have one here in every room but the formal dining room.
I had one installed in the kitchen a couple yrs ago.
Every new one we put in, we add a remote to the kit. So handy!
I had one in an apartment I had and it cooled off the food too fast. True! 
We do, but it only gets used when it’s super hot out, or when we’re not eating in the dining room but we have all the ceiling fans in the house on.
Just remember to clean it every few months and keep it running all the time. That way you won’t start it up right before a meal and dust bunnies fall off into everything. SO keep it clean and keep it running.
nope, not in the REAL dining room. We have one in our eating area in the kitchen, and I love it there.
No, small chandelier.
My mom does though–cools the food off! Lol
No, and also not in the kitchen either.
I like my food hot.
At my inlaws lake house they have one over the table, but we turn it off during meals and only use it for when we play cards, games or are just visiting around the table.
No.not even in my kitchen.
I live in WA state.
We would look silly with a ceiling fan
Most houses on this side of the mountains don’t even have AC.
