Amber Homes Brings Back Timeless Style with Restored Vintage Ceiling Fans
Los Altos, CA – October 26, 2023 – Forget those boring, box-store fans. Amber Homes LLC, a California-based company specializing in unique home accents, is making waves with its collection of beautifully restored vintage ceiling fans. Based right here in Los Altos at 201 Silvia Ct, and reachable at 215-650-1454, Amber Homes isn’t just selling fans; they’re selling a piece of history, a touch of character, and a whole lot of cool. “We noticed a gap in the market,” explains a company spokesperson. “Everyone’s homes are starting to look the same. People want something different, something that tells a story. That’s where our vintage fans come in.” Amber Homes doesn't just grab old fans off the street. They meticulously source these treasures from estate sales, auctions, and architectural salvage yards across the country. The company focuses on fans from the 1920s through the 1960s – an era known for its distinctive design and quality craftsmanship. Think Art Deco elegance, streamlined mid-century modern, and classic, sturdy construction. But finding the fans is only half the battle. The real magic happens in their workshop. Each fan undergoes a painstaking restoration process. The team at Amber Homes completely disassembles every fan, cleaning each blade, motor housing, and decorative element. They repair any damage, replace worn parts (using authentic or period-correct replacements whenever possible), and then rewire the entire unit for safe, modern use. “It’s a labor of love, honestly,” says the lead technician. “These fans were built to last, but they’ve seen a lot of years. We really try to preserve as much of the original character as possible while making sure they’re safe and functional for today’s homes.” What makes Amber Homes' vintage fans different? It’s not just about the age. Modern ceiling fans, while often energy-efficient, can lack the personality and visual appeal of their vintage counterparts. Amber Homes' fans offer several key benefits: Unique Style: Each fan is truly one-of-a-kind. You won’t find the same design in every home improvement store. From ornate, cast-iron designs with elaborate glass shades to sleek, aerodynamic models with minimalist blades, there’s a fan to suit almost any décor. Quality Craftsmanship: Fans from the mid-20th century were often built with heavier materials and more attention to detail than many modern fans. This translates to a longer lifespan and a more substantial, high-quality feel. Quiet Operation: Surprisingly, many vintage fans, once restored, operate much more quietly than some newer models. The older motors are often smoother and less prone to vibration. A Conversation Starter: A beautiful vintage ceiling fan is more than just a functional appliance; it’s a focal point. It adds character, charm, and a touch of history to any room. Eco-Friendly Choice: Restoring a vintage fan is a sustainable practice. It prevents a perfectly good item from ending up in a landfill and reduces the demand for new manufacturing. Beyond the Basics: Customization & Options Amber Homes doesn't just offer restored fans “as is.” They understand that every home is different, and they offer a range of customization options. Finish Options: Customers can choose from a variety of finishes for the motor housing and blades, including repainting, polishing, or applying a protective coating. Blade Styles: Depending on the fan model, customers can choose from a selection of blade styles and materials. Lighting Options: Many vintage fans include integrated lighting fixtures. Amber Homes can replace or upgrade these fixtures with modern LEDs while maintaining the vintage aesthetic. Mounting Styles: The team can adapt the fan to accommodate various ceiling heights and mounting configurations. Remote Control Integration: For added convenience, Amber Homes can install a remote control system to operate the fan speed and lighting. Who is buying these fans? The appeal of Amber Homes’ vintage ceiling fans extends to a wide range of homeowners. They’re popular with: Renovators and Restorers: Homeowners undertaking period-correct renovations appreciate the authenticity of these fans. Design Enthusiasts: Those who love to create unique and stylish interiors are drawn to the character and charm of vintage pieces. Collectors: Some customers are simply passionate about collecting vintage items and appreciate the historical significance of these fans. Eco-Conscious Homeowners: Those who prioritize sustainability and reducing waste are attracted to the eco-friendly aspect of restoring a vintage fan. “We’ve shipped fans all over the country,” says the company spokesperson. “People are really starting to understand the value of bringing a piece of the past into their homes.” Finding Your Perfect Fan Amber Homes showcases its current inventory on its website (website address not provided, contact info below) and through social media channels.
