Installing the Most Beautiful Ceiling Fan I Ever Laid Eyes Upon
I’m super excited to share you How to Install the Most Beautiful Ceiling Fan I Ever Laid Eyes Upon! You remember last month when I gave my stepmom’s screen porch a drab to fab makeover, right? Well, I didn’t really complete the makeover. I strategically cropped this ugly ceiling fan out of the shots:
That ceiling fan isn’t just ugly. . .it’s truly F-U-G-L-Y! And we won’t even talk about the layer of black goopy dust on top of the motor and blades. Just thinking about it brings up the bile in my throat.
My stepmom and I knew we wanted to ditch the existing ceiling fan, but I wanted to replace it with an attractive ceiling fan. (I know, that seems like an oxymoron.) And then it happened, I saw a photo on Instagram that made my heart skip a beat. Our Fifth House posted a photo of her Haiku H Series Fan on her screen porch.
That’s when I knew I had to install a Haiku Ceiling Fan on my stepmom’s screen porch. I approached Haiku Home (owned by Big Ass Solutions) about working with me on the screen porch makeover. They graciously agreed to supply the fan if I would supply the words and photos in this post. NOT ONLY THAT, they offered to give one of my readers a Haiku L Series Fan as well (read to the end of this post to enter.) Deal! Now that you know the back story, I present to you the Most Beautiful Ceiling Fan I Ever Laid Eyes Upon:
Isn’t that the most gorgeous ceiling fan you’ve ever seen? The motor is tiny and hidden by the beautiful brushed copper air foils. This fan is shiny, sleek, and modern. Best of all, it works great!
My stepmom had one switch that controlled her ceiling fan before. The switch was inside the house, not even remotely close to the door she uses for the porch (stupid!) We solved that issue by requesting a remote control for the Haiku Luxe Series Fan. Now she can sit on the screen porch and control the ceiling fan without walking through the house to turn it on.
Want to see how easy it is to install the Haiku Ceiling Fan? Let’s get busy.

Materials:
Instructions:
Shut off the circuit to your ceiling fan. (Turn on the fan, then shut the circuit off and check that the fan doesn’t have power.)
Begin by removing the fan blades from the old ceiling fan.
Remove the canopy covering the wiring. (All ceiling fans are different, look for screws or rotate the canopy to remove.)
Use the voltage tester to check for power. The green light means it’s safe. Red light (and/or an audible alarm) means the power is still on.
Disconnect the wires starting with the black “hot” wires. Then disconnect the white “neutral” wires and finally the bare “ground” wires.
Have a friend support the fan as you remove it from the mounting bracket.
Time to prepare the Haiku Luxe Series Fan for installation. Be sure to follow the installation instructions included with your fan.
Remove the shipping screws and shipping cap.
Locate the screws and grommets to attach the airfoils (fan blades).
Match each airfoil with the color dot on the motor. Attach the airfoils using the screws and grommets provided.
Attach the lower cover in the center of the airfoils.
Locate the rubber bumpers and slide them onto the extension brackets.
Attach the mounting plate to the ceiling box with screws from your ceiling junction box.
Locate the mounting brackets (outlined in yellow below) and loosely attach them to the mounting plate.
Attach the safety cable to a secured hook or stud in the ceiling (our junction box had a hook bolted to the ceiling joist which was a perfect anchor point.)
Wire the ceiling fan by attaching the wires in this order: 1. Green/yellow to bare “ground” 2. Blue to white “neutral” 3. Red to black “hot”.
Tighten the bolts on the mounting brackets.
Secure the wire cover with screws provided. Slide the rest of the wiring cover up to cover the extension tube. Snap the cap on the side bolt.
Now sit back and admire the view! Then use your remote control to turn the fan on and enjoy the breeze!
The Haiku Luxe Series fan is truly a thing of beauty. My stepmom and I love how it looks.
It is definitely a show stopper. Especially if you remember the old fan that was there.
Big coppery bling improvement!
I think this fan needs to be in an art museum. . . but that’s just my opinion.
I’m thinking I might need to replace a ceiling fan or two in our home now. You should see all the options Haiku Home has:
Sorry, the giveaway has ended.
I have one question for you before you go, isn’t this the Most Beautiful Ceiling Fan You Ever Laid Eyes Upon?
I’m definitely a fan! LOL. . . get it?
Disclosure: Big Ass Solutions sent me the Haiku Home Luxe Fan for this project. I was not paid to use the product. I was not told what to write about their product. I approached Big Ass Solutions about working with me because I know they make quality products. As usual, I’m vary particular about the brands I mention on the blog.
Pin for later!
Love the H Series – Bamboo
I agree, love the bamboo H series
Nice ceiling fan, I need one on my porch also!
I like the Kuxe Series…The Copper and the Brushed Nickel…
This looks so beautiful. Perfect for lower ceilings like I have in my house. The copper color definitely!! Love it! Finally a pretty ceiling fan!
My favorite would probably be the carmel bamboo with oil rubbed bronze (H Series)
The H Series – Bamboo
When we reno’d the house about five or six years ago we got three new ceiling fans and all of them look like your before and honestly those were the best I could find at the time. I’m so mad that now there are truly beautiful fans out there, and this is certainly one of them! I’d love to swap out one of my seriously ugly ones for something gorgeous like this!
Love the ORB Luxe!
Beautiful! We could use one of these on our porch!
I like the caramel H series,i think
The H series black aluminum caught my eye! Really great fan – who would’ve thought?
I would love a new ceiling fan for my living room!
I like the I series in white! The SenseMe technology sounds awesome!
Gorgeous! I have about three different rooms I could put this in.
Depending on the room, I like the copper the orb and the bamboo.
I’d probably go with brushed aluminum throughout the house. A nice subtle touch to be seen, but not too loud.
I just found out about these fans when investigating other “Works with Nest” products and fell. in. love. If I could afford it, I’d put them in every room of the house!
The copper is really beautiful and looks great against the ceiling you have.
Dear PHG ~
Brittany, the whole sunroom is absolutely “House Beautiful” gorgeous! The colors, designs, the arrangement of the furniture and yes the fan too :-). Terrific!
Omigosh, I have a giant crush on the H series in caramel bamboo.
I’ve been looking for a ceiling fan for my porch. I love this one in the oil rubbed bronze.
Would love to win. We have BIG ASS fans in our shop – you won’t ffind anything better
Carmel bamboo H series. My fan died in my bedroom but would love to replace my family room one!!
You are right – very pretty. Bamboo is very nice.
I’m so sad this giveaway isn’t open to Canada. I love the ceiling fan and even wanting one for a master bedroom. This would be perfect! Beautiful!
I love the sleek style of these fans. Would love one on my back patio.
What a fun giveaway!
I like the I series in white!!
I like the H series in white!
Lovely
At first I didn’t realize what the finish was; but once I saw it – Yes, a beautiful fan!
I love all of them but think the one you installed is my favorite.
I love the H series in Bamboo with the oil rubbed bronze for the mount finish. These fans truly are a form of art, so beautiful and simple yet fabulously functional.
I love the H series in caramel bamboo.
I love the look of the satin aluminum fans, still in the Luxe series. The fact that it’s shown in a smaller size caught my eye! We’re looking (well, I am) for a smaller, stylish fan for the laundry – kitchen area
Wow, such a beautiful fan. I’m redoing my bedroom and I can’t sleep without a fan so this would be awesome . I would like the 52″ low profile cocoa bamboo with the black motor. That color would be perfect with my decor. Thanks for the chance to win!
Love these Fans. Building an outdoor kitchen and sitting area. Need 3 yup 3 new Fans!
I love the Haiku Luxe Series fan in copper and also the brushed nickel finish. The copper would look fantastic in my living room. It is the only room in the house that doesn’t have brushed nickel fixtures… I could branch out into a whole new look!
The funny thing is that the one in the living room died this summer and I have been dithering about what kind to get. Now I think I’m in love.
Even if I don’t win, I really like the look and the tutorial makes me think I could do the job myself.
Thanks,
a
Wow, such a beautiful fan. I’m redoing my bedroom and I can’t sleep without a fan so this would be awesome . I would like the H series b52″ low profile cocoa bamboo with the black motor. That color would be perfect with my decor. Thanks for the chance to win!
I’m partial to the wood, but they’re all beautiful!
Love that copper finish, it really makes the room pop. Totally should be in a museum! I wouldn’t change a thing….I love your Haiku Luxe Series in copper finish that you have.
The one you installed for your stepmom is awesome, but I think my favorite is the Haiku H series in black.
I love the one in this post wow. Thx for this awesome giveaway!
Love the “H” series in the cocoa. So pretty. My living room so needs a fan.
The cocoa bamboo fan is my favorite
What beautiful clean crisp works of art! I need two of these on my porch. Can’t wait to see one installed!!!!!
So hard to choose, but I’d have to say my all around favorite is the H Series with the Cocoa Bamboo Fan Finish and Oil-Rubbed Bronze hardware. Such a beautiful fan!
I’m loving the I series in white. Beautiful fan! Don’t you hear angels sing every time you look at it? 🙂
My DH sold his airplain a couple years ago. I think the chrome one in his office would just be amazing rememberence for him.
I love this sleek design and short stem. Great for rooms that don’t have high ceilings.
Wow! I love the brushed copper on Diane’s porch…but the website! Have you seen the Evolution of Eden??? My daughter would flip!! Literally, as she is a gymnast!!!
I really like the Haiku H Series fan in caramel bamboo.
The copper one,very pretty.
I like the Haiku L Series Ceiling Fan: 52″, White, Universal Mount: White for my den!
Love the cocoa bamboo!
They are all so beautiful! I’m totally crushing on the copper finish the most.
I like the low profile cocoa bamboo!
You make it look so easy! Beautiful fan!
They all look classy, but I think my fave is the H series in Caramel Bamboo with the satin nickel hardware finish. So nice!
Kuxe series in copper. Looks great
Evolution of Eden is my favorite…it would look great in my sewing room!
I’m a fan of the Artisan collection “Natural Expansion.” I actually really like the look of Whale Bones, but it wouldn’t work with the rest of the home decor.
Oh Yeah – this truly is the finest ceiling fan I’ve ever seen! Can’t choose between the copper and the bamboo but the copper would look great inside my house and the bamboo outside.
I agree with you – this baby should be on display at a museum of modern technology!
I’m so excited by these fans that I’ve just emailed the company to see if they sell them in Europe! Thanks so much for sharing these with us.
Brittany, I forgot to mention that your tutorial for installing the fans is excellent – easy to understand and great photos! Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
You’re welcome Lisa.
love the brushed nickel but the white would look swell!
I love the oil rubbed bronze haiku finish myself. But the copper in your beautiful room is a close second.
Luxe Series in Brushed Copper. Beautiful
The H Series is my favorite style in the bamboo finish! I love the modern look of this fan!
I love the Luxe Series fans! They are beautiful! My screened porch really needs an updated fan!
H series in bamboo. I LOVE the look of these fans. Sadly my budget doesn’t. But I am so tempted because the fans are just drop dead beautiful
if I win, it would be hard to pick one they all are so beautiful.
Love, love, love the bamboo H series. Am closing on a new home in December and this would be perfect in my upstairs sitting/dressing/escaping room. The fan that is currently there is missing a blade. How does that happen?
I would love the cooper one also! So gorgeous!
Ka-CHING $$$ but beautiful !
Just beautiful! I would probably select the white or wood tone, but all are beautiful.
Prettyhandygirl, you chose well! I like the copper the best. This is a great improvement on what has been available previously when choosing a ceiling fan.
I love the Copper Luxe Series Fan – beautiful (is that the one you installed?).
These are beautiful!
I would love any of them, yet I particularly like the copper finish. Gorgeous!
Oh my…..truly the most beautiful fan ever! I love the bamboo one – would look great in my home.
OMG. Definitely crush on the Artisan Collection – truly works of art! – but each and every one of these fans is gorgeous by virtue of their design. Finally, Big Ass Solutions has brought ceiling fans into the 21st century and beyond!
I love the H series, caramel bamboo with satin nickel finish! These are gorgeous fans!
I love the luxe series version with the satin nickel finish. These fans are so sleek and modern!
For those prices I could pay someone to fan me by hand as well as be good company. $2,000.00+? Really. Some people have more money than brains.
Roger, the L and H series fans are less expensive. They truly are beautiful and also really move the air. But, I understand your hesitation to spend that much on a ceiling fan. Still, I don’t think that necessitates your comment insulting people.
They are all so beautiful and modern. My favorite is Haiku I Series
SKU: K3127-X2-PB-04-02-C-01.
I really like the H series in bamboo.
The H series in caramel bamboo is definitely my favorite!
This is a beautiful ceiling fan. Although most ceiling fans are ugly, I love them. I have one in every room and use them 24 hours a day. I would love this ceiling fan. It’s so sleek and I would love to win one.
Prettiest ceiling fan ever! Swoon.
The Polished Aluminum is beautiful. The Artisan would be awesome!
Thanks for the amazing giveaway. The porch is so inviting.
How can I choose? Would confer with hubby
Just love this fan. wow
the h series in bamboo is great!
I like the Flying Machine the best!
WOW……they are all very pretty. I like the L series in white.
Of course I love every one I saw on the website! H-series bamboo would surely look fabulous in my house!
I LOVE the copper finish!
Wow! I really like the Luxe in brushed gold.
That is the most beautiful fan I have ever seen! I would love the bamboo style one. Thanks for the amazing giveaway!
I’ve been following this fan since they came out with it. So impressed, and love that they got the prices down for a few of the models. I’d love a white one- if just disappears!
Love the simplicity!
I love them all they are all beautiful!! H series in caramel bamboo is stunning.
My bedroom needs this. Awesome.
WOW! These fans are so stunning and very easy to install as well, you made it look so easy to do. Of course I’m always last to signup but I had to try, even though I probably won’t win. I would love the H Series 52″ Low Profile Cocoa Bamboo with the Black Motor, or H Series Caramel Bamboo. I love the fact it comes with a Remote control cause I am short and it’s always a hassle to change settings by hand. Thanks for the Opportunity To Enter?
What a beautiful fan! We want to put a fan on our covered porch and the H series caramel bamboo would be amazing!.
I need this beauty in my sunroom!
I like the I Series, in white. Need a new fan for our bedroom.
These fans look fantastic. Your posts and directions are clear and fantastic as always.
I think this just makes the room look so glamorous, such a simple way of making an entire space feel more luxurious too
Yes – this would be so great in our master!
SO awesome and I love the way they turned out- so pretty! I would probably choose the White Hybrid Resin finish- I love them!
I’ve never seen such a gorgeous fan before! The copper is stunning!!
Most definitely the bamboo finish with bronze. Gorgeous!
I love the all white one. It’s simple and elegant.
The copper finish is absolutely fabulous!
I am in love with the H series in caramel bamboo! But it is so hard to pick just one! They are all gorgeous!

What a nice piece of machinery!! Loving the oil rubbed bronze colour, perfect fit for my panel room.
I love the Haiku I Series in Composite Black.
Brushed Aluminum and Brushed Copper!!!
I love the all white L series or the H series bamboo. Who knew there were nice looking ceiling fans?!

anything in black with a remote! but they are all so beautiful!
I love the oil rubbed bronze and cocoa colors. I just love these fans.
I love the Artisian Collection. The print on the blades would go perfect in my one room.
I love the caramel bamboo fan!
Best ceiling fan I’ve found.
Brushed copper looks awesome
I like the I series. I like dark expresso finishes.
That is truly a beautiful piece of art and functional at the same time!
I think it’s a great fan design, and it looks really nice in the room you installed it in. But I think it would look a little too modern in my older-style home. But thank you very much for sharing, and giving inspiration. it looks like the hard work you put in to change the fan was well worth it!
