The first step to selecting the right ceiling fan size is measuring the room to determine its square footage. Do this by multiplying the room's length by its width. For example, if your room is 14 feet long by 10 feet wide, its square footage would be 140 square feet.

Ceiling fans should be installed at least 8 feet high. For higher ceilings, you'll need to choose a downrod that extends the fan to the desired height. For a sloped ceiling, angle mounts can help level out the ceiling fan.

Most ceiling fans range from 36 to 72 inches. Fan size depends on the amount of airflow you need in the room. Settling on the perfect blade size can make all the difference in how well the ceiling fan performs. As a general rule, the larger the blade size, the more airflow the fan provides. In rooms less than 75 square feet, a 36-inch fan is most appropriate. For larger rooms like living rooms or bedrooms, a fan with a blade span of 50-60 inches is optimal.

Ceiling fans come in a variety of styles, from modern to traditional, to best suit the room type and your decor preferences. The right style can add an accent to your room's decor, complimenting your space's aesthetic appeal.
