In an effort to conserve energy, I think having ceiling fans are a good alternative to turning on the air conditioning.
I saw a house with a ceiling fan in every room, well, except the bathrooms and the kitchen. They had traditional casablanca ceiling fans which is rather a nice decorative touch. I prefer modern ceiling fans with a clean simple design. Running a fan at night to keep cool in the bedrooms will cost a lot less than running the air conditioning all day. Ceiling fans have handy remote controls now, so you can keep the remote next to you and turn it off in the middle of the night when it gets cool.
My brother just remodeled a room in his house and he removed the ceiling fan that was there! The room had a rather low ceiling and it does look bigger without the fan. But I bet he will miss having the cooling factor this summer.
