Three ceiling fans for the whole home: which rooms to equip first, and in what order
Published on ·4 min read
Once the first ceiling fan is up, the next question arrives within the week: why not in the children's room too? And the living room? Equipping the whole home at once is simpler, cheaper and more consistent than starting over every summer.
This guide gives the order of rooms to equip first, the criteria to pick the third, and the reasons the same model everywhere is a real advantage, with the Boréal 107 pack as the example: three units, two paid, one free.
Room 1: the bedroom, where you sleep
The bedroom is where a ceiling fan brings the most: eight hours lying down, sleep that fragments from 25 °C, a window you dare not leave open. A 107 cm at speed 1, at 30 dB, turns a 27 °C night into a 24 °C one. It is the first unit to fit, without hesitation.
With the dimmable warm-white LED, it also replaces the bedroom ceiling light with lighting that prepares for sleep, controlled from the bed. Two functions in the room that needs them most.
Room 2: the living room, where evenings happen
The living room comes second: it is the room of summer evenings, of dinner at 9 pm with the day's accumulated heat, of the film at 28 °C. A fan in the centre of the ceiling, at speed 2 or 3 while the room cools, then speed 1, changes the feel of the whole evening. Up to 25 m², a well-centred 107 cm is enough.
In the living room the ceiling-light function counts even more: it is the main light of the most seen room in the home, with its three colour temperatures, neutral for reading, warm for a film. And it is there that the look when off, a white disc rather than a fan, justifies retractable blades.
The Boréal 107
Retractable blades · Ø 107 cm · LED ceiling light & silent fan
- ✓Retractable blades: invisible when off, nobody guesses it's a fan
- ✓Sleep with windows closed, 30 dB, quieter than a whisper
- ✓Integrated LED 2700K → 6000K, dimmable: replaces your ceiling light
Room 3: the one that depends on your home
The third room is chosen by the life of the home. A child's room, if summer nights are hard there: same unit, same speed 1, bed offset from the blades. An office, if you work there in the afternoon under the roof: a fan at speed 2 beats a noisy desk air conditioner. A kitchen, if you dine there: the heat of hob and oven clears in minutes.
A conservatory or a living space over 25 m² is not on this list: it needs a larger diameter or two units, and a 132 cm fixed-blade model suits it better. The pack of three compacts is made for the three common rooms of a home, not for large volumes.
- ·Main bedroom: speed 1, warm white, headboard away from the blades
- ·Living room up to 25 m²: speed 2 to 3 then 1, neutral or warm depending on use
- ·Child's room, office, kitchen: depending on the home, same basic setting
Why the same model everywhere, and what the pack costs
Three identical units mean one manual, one installation learnt then repeated twice in twenty minutes, three identical remotes you no longer need to tell apart, and the same light settings in every room. The home is consistent: the same white disc on the ceiling of living room, bedroom and office, the same warm light in the evening.
The Boréal 107 pack is designed for that: three units, two paid at 189 euros, the third free, 378 euros for the whole home, 126 euros per room. That is less than a quality tower fan per room, for an LED ceiling light, a winter mode and a two-year warranty on each. Delivered together, fitted the same Saturday.
The bedroom first, the living room next, then the room that matters in your home, child's room, office or kitchen: three identical compact 107 cm fans cover the three common rooms of a home, with one manual and consistent settings. The Boréal 107 pack, two paid and one free, at 378 euros for three, equips the whole home in one order.
Frequently asked questions
