Spring was nice, but the scorching summer sun has us stuck in the AC. While we'd love to sip iced tea on our porch swing, the intense summer heat and heavy, humid air have made our outdoor spaces less than enjoyable. That is, until we installed a porch ceiling fan. Who knew a little breeze was all we needed? If you can relate, it's time to improve your outdoor space's summer comfort, and we've got the 10 best exterior ceiling fans to get you started.
From industrial to rustic to coastal to farmhouse, this five-blade ceiling fan's two-toned, open-caged design complements nearly any design style. This charming fan holds a clear seeded glass globe within a wooden cage, with intricate mixed-material detailing you don't often find on exterior fans. Even better, this perfect porch fan includes a remote control, so you can turn it on, off and adjust its three speed settings without even leaving your porch swing.
You can't beat the breezy, tropical feel of this beautiful Birch Lane ceiling fan. The reversible, rounded palm leaf blades are crafted from plastic, but we'd never guess they weren't real wood. Mount it flush to the ceiling or drop it from high or angled ceilings using the included down rod.

Drawing design inspiration from the ocean's tubular wave formations, this modern 52-inch ceiling fan is sure to add a hefty dose of character to any outdoor space you put it in. This fan is as well-built as it is stunning, constructed with metal and solid wood. The 5-, 10- and 24-inch down rods allow for plenty of mounting flexibility.
Sometimes, simple is best, and this three-blade ceiling fan is proof of that. Its sleek, black finish and minimalistic silhouette are gorgeous, without doing too much, while its six speed settings let you fine-tune it to your space's exact comfort needs.
Small outdoor spaces need airflow, too, and that's why we love this petite outdoor fan. Coming in at just over 23 inches, it's guaranteed to fit on even the smallest porches. What we love most is the clever design, which disguises the ceiling fan as a cute light fixture, housing the blades within a stylish metal cage.
A bronze frame and ABS blades finished in aged bamboo make the Better Homes & Gardens Clara one of the most elegant outdoor ceiling fan picks on our list. The two dimmable LED bulbs allow soft illumination that is easily controlled, whether you want to fully illuminate your space or you're after just a touch of ambiance. Best of all, this fan includes a limited lifetime warranty.
Hunter fans are known for being high quality and high fashion, and the 52-inch Aeronaut outdoor ceiling fan is no exception.

If only you could get a quality outdoor ceiling fan from a well-established brand like Honeywell for just around $100. Turns out, you can. The Belmar 52-inch ceiling fan features five blades, traditional styling and the peace of mind that comes with a brand like Honeywell.
Dare to be different with the Wrought Studio Waterproof Outdoor Ceiling Fan. Though the three propeller-style blades have a convincing real-wood look to them, they're constructed with IP45-rated ABS blades that ensure longevity in harsh outdoor environments. We love the adjustable range of the LED light (3000K to 6500K), which allows you to fine-tune the color temperature to your liking via an included remote control.
