Ceiling Fan Sizing
The first step in choosing a ceiling fan is determining the size of fan you need for your space.
Your fan packaging will list formulas to guide you in identifying a good match between room size and fan size, but here are some general guidelines for reference:
29″ or less than 50 sq. ft. EX: hallway, laundry room, walk-in closet
36″ up to 75 sq. ft. EX: breakfast nook, large bathroom
42″ up to 100 sq. ft. EX: bedroom, office, kitchen
52″ up to 225 sq. ft. EX: master bedroom, dining room, patio area
56″ up to 400 sq. ft. EX: large living room, great room
For long, narrow spaces or overly large rooms, it’s a good idea to install more than one fan.
Ceiling fan blades should be positioned 8 to 9 feet above the floor, which will ensure that it’s safe while also moving air throughout the space. If you have vaulted ceilings, a ceiling fan can be installed with a down rod to bring it to the correct height.
