This week, there’s a heatwave being enjoyed / endured across the whole of Europe. I don’t envy the Football World Cup women currently playing in France in these temperatures!
The vast majority of houses in the UK have central heating installed as standard. However, air conditioning units that cool your home are something of a rarity. True, there’s not often any need for them in our temperate climes, but I’m sure we can all claim to have endured uncomfortable, stuffy, sleepless nights.
It’s times like these that a ceiling fan comes into its own. Suitable for any room in the house, they cool the space, dispatch annoying buzzing and biting insects and lull you to sleep with their soft, low drone. It’s a bonus if the fan also incorporates a ceiling light that can be switched on and off independently.
Of all the ceiling fans, I’m veering towards the Viceroy from Value Lights; it’s modern, minimal and stylish and comes with a remote control… who wants to bother getting out of bed in the middle of the night to switch the fan off/on?
