Adding an Asian Flare with Decorative Bamboo Fans
By Sarah
Freeland
Bamboo fans come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and
designs. Some of the available types of bamboo fans include
bamboo ceiling fans, mini bamboo fans, and Japanese fans.
Each of these bamboo fans has their own unique design
purposes.
The first type of bamboo fans that we will look at are
bamboo ceiling fans. Bamboo ceiling fans can be found in
most department stores, lighting stores, and home
improvement stores. Their designs run the spectrum from
tropical to contemporary.
The second type of bamboo fans that we will look at are
rattan ceiling fans. While rattan is often commonly confused
with bamboo, it is actually a type of palm. Rattan ceiling
fans also tend to be design primarily as tropical looking
fans as opposed to more sophisticated design styles.
The third type of bamboo fans that we will look at are mini
bamboo fans. These types of fans are usually used as a
wedding favor or party favor. They are simply a smaller
version of a full sized bamboo frame. The bamboo in these
fans is generally just the ribbing, however, in some cases
bamboo paper is also used in the construction of the fan.
The final type of bamboo fans that we will look at are
Japanese fans. Japanese fans utilize bamboo as its support
system. Then paper is stretched across the bamboo ribs and
painted with a traditional Japanese design. These fans are
designed to bring good luck to the user as well as help keep
them cool. Bamboo, a vital building tool that grows 10 times faster than trees, is an increasing popular choice of furniture in America's home.
