Honey, they shrunk the fans. This Kentucky manufacturer scaled down its huge industrial models for interior use in rooms with ceilings as low as 12 feet. The Isis still moves plenty of air but, thanks to the relatively slow rotation of its 10 airfoil blades, draws about the same power as a single refrigerator light bulb. Choose an 8-foot, 9-foot, or 10-foot model. 877-244-3267; bigassfans.com. circle 632

Both sheer and blackout shade fabrics are available in a variety of neutral colors. 610-282-7797; lutron-shades.com. circle 755
