I vividly remember the time when the hubby and I were talking about renovation plans for our previous house. He suggested installing a ceiling fan in our living room and my first reaction was “Noooooo, I don’t think it will be aesthetically pleasing at all.” You see, I’ve never used a ceiling fan at home in my life at that time and somehow, it just reminded me of a boring classroom setting. In my mind, I was so sure that it wouldn’t look nice and would instead look unappealing and out of place. Nonetheless, I relented and we ended up with a ceiling fan in our living room. I must tell you, it actually turned out to be one of the best decisions we made.

Yeah, not only did I concede defeat, my view on ceiling fans also took a 180 degree change. Now, five years later since we’ve lived with ceiling fans, I seriously don’t think we can survive in our new home without them! Why, you may ask? Well, they make the unbearable hot and humid weather easier to bear, they save the need for air con and high electricity bills, they cover a wide area while taking up zero floor space, they are easy to operate and adaptable to your needs, and contrary to what I first thought, they can be sleek in design and complement the theme of your home too.

We have a stand fan that has withstood the test of time through the years and proved to us that it was a brand worth believing, and investing, in. Yes, it is a KDK stand fan that is around a decade old and still going strong – in fact, it was the oldest yet strongest of the many stand fans we owned previously. It is equipped with 1st Patented Safety Design . If you take a look at our ceiling fans, you will realise that the one in the master bedroom is right above the bed whereas the living room one is right above the sofa. Even if it seems very unlikely, being a mum still makes me a little paranoid as to whether one day the screws will loosen and the fan might just fall right down. KDK ceiling fans feature the world’s 1st Patented Safety design that incorporates a safety plate/hook that keeps blades from falling, a safety switch that automatically cuts off power when it detects any shaft or bolt damage, There is also a safety wire that secures the fan motor to the ceiling hook and a thermal safety fuse to protect the motor from power surges. So, even if the screws were to become loose and the fan drops down one day, the safety precaution will ensure that it only dangles from the safety wire instead of collapsing onto the floor/bed/sofa.
