The sails may or may not fit the aesthetics of your room but it will be tough to get the fans to work effectively with them installed.
I thought that a sail furling system might be an interesting option. There are different types but in a nutshell they are simple systems that wind a front sail around a pole and out of the way when not in use. You could hook up remote motors. You could easily test different size sails by unfurling to varying degrees. You could even rig up a simple system that allows you to move the sail around the room by pulling a rope to easily optimize positioning.
The attached video is interesting because it contrasts a rigid vs a flexible "pole." Turn off your sound:
