Is there any worse summer struggle than tripping over an industrial fan any time you want to cool your space down? What about awkwardly hiding a clunky fan every morning or whenever you have visitors coming over because it just doesn’t match the rest of your home? Maybe you’re just looking to save money on air conditioning … but don’t want to sacrifice style. We’ve all been there. But your only solution isn’t ghastly plastic fans.

Thanks to the lineup of retro-inspired fans from the Better Homes & Gardens at Walmart collection, the only worry you’ll have when it comes to cooling your space is what color fan suits your room best. These fans couple an aesthetics-oriented appearance with functionality, so you can get a piece of a decor and a necessary tool for your comfort in one colorful item.

If you’re looking for a fan to add to a table, desk, or nightstand, this 3-speed oscillating table fan is the perfect choice. Not only does it have nine retro colors to choose from, it also features three speeds and a rotating head to ensure your entire room is kept cool. It features a cord that can reach up to six feet, so you won’t struggle to find a place to plug it in. And best of all, the cord comes in a matching fabric color to keep everything cohesive. At just $35, too, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better deal.

This gorgeous 8-inch vintage table fan is another stylish choice for anyone who wants to keep their home classic yet chic on a budget—this fan is just $28. With a unique gold cage and colorful blades, it’s the ideal fan for absolutely anyone who wants to play up function and aesthetics at the same time. You can purchase the fan in a trendy, soothing sage or creamy white. You’ll also find that this fan has three speeds and can oscillate to keep air flowing; it has a different dial and base than the retro fan, so you have plenty of options to really pick something that suits your space.

“I’m in love with this table fan!” reads one five-star review of the fan on Walmart’s website. “It’s a timeless decorative piece and gives the room an elevated look. I usually hate having a fan in the room because it can be such an eye sore, but there is nothing about this fan that isn’t beautiful.”

The vintage table fan has a twin—only this one comes in a sleek black finish and is 12 inches instead of 8 inches. This will cool a little more air while still making it easy to fit on any tabletop. The head of this fan oscillates and can tilt so you can find the perfect angle for the fan to blow.

Still not enough cooling power for you? Maybe what you need is the retro wooden stand fan. It’s 16 inches and sits on three wooden tripod legs, making it as much a statement piece as it is practical. It stands at 51 inches when fully assembled, though the legs of the tripod stand can be adjusted so you can find the perfect height for the fan to sit at. This fan also oscillates, making it perfect to stand at the edge of a room to keep air cool throughout the space.
