Shopping for ceiling fans for the large rooms in your home, but not sure which fan is the best fit? Bigger fans can do the trick. They can make rooms feel cooler, faster and more effectively, keeping you cool for longer periods of time. But you need to choose your fan wisely. The right large ceiling fan can elevate your room’s style, save you money, and even lower your environmental impact.
Why Large Ceiling Fans?
Many homeowners avoid large ceiling fans because they worry they will overpower the room. However, that’s not always the case. Rooms that are nine by nine feet and larger, need a bigger fan to properly circulate air in the room. The guide below will help you choose the appropriate fan size:
|
Room Size |
Blade Span |
|
10 feet x 10 feet (100 square feet) |
36- to 42-inches |
|
18 feet x 18 feet (324 square feet) |
60- to 72-inches |
|
25 feet x 25 feet (625 square feet) |
72- to 84-inches |
|
30 feet x 30 feet (900 square feet, or larger) |
84- to 96-inches, or larger |
You will need to consider your room’s ceiling height in addition to its dimensions. You may need to add other ceiling fan parts, like an extension pole, downrod to get ideal airflow if your room has a high ceiling. For the best performance and benefits, your ceiling fan should be at least 18 inches from the walls of your room and seven feet above the floor.
Once you know what size you need, you can narrow down your fan choices to features and design. To make your decision easier, we’ve highlighted three “fan” favorites for large rooms.
If You Want To Stay Cooler For Longer
If you have a large room, it's hard to keep it cool with a small ceiling fan – the air won’t distribute effectively. Your fan and your money will work harder with diminished results. And while your electric supplier might be happy, you probably won’t be when you get your electricity bill.
Opt for a 60- inch ceiling fan like our Solara ceiling fan to properly circulate your room. Efficient and powerful, this fan may look unassuming, but it’s a customer favorite because of its dual purpose: Cooling large rooms and decreasing the money you spend on your utility bills.
True to its elegant name, Solara is one of our most stylish fans. Its sleek ridges highlight the contours of the blades giving it a beautiful fluid shape. Plus, you can easily connect it to Google Play or Alexa via the FREE Smart Life App. If you’re looking for a unique ceiling fan, you can’t go wrong with this one.
If You Love Lounging Outdoors
If you love relaxing on your patio or porch on a hot summer day, this contemporary large outdoor ceiling fan is perfect for you. What’s the difference between an outdoor and indoor ceiling fan? Unlike indoor fans, outdoor fans are specifically designed to withstand outdoor weather conditions. The Titan II is even more special because it’s damp rated. This means it’s designed to withstand moist environments, making it the perfect solution for both indoor and outdoor areas in your Florida home.
This fan also includes six fan speeds to choose from. And the best part? You don’t need to manually adjust its speed. A hand held remote control is included so you can change speeds easily.
Fan color options include the popular Oil Rubbed Bronze hue, the stylish Pure White, and the futuristic Brushed Nickel. Choose from blade lengths 66, 72 and 84 inches. This is the best fan to keep you cool outdoors.
If You Need Better Lighting
If strange shadows darken your face during conference calls or it’s hard to see clearly with just a lamp, it might be time to upgrade your room’s lighting. The easiest way to do this? Get a large ceiling fan with lights.
Our wifi-enabled Optum ceiling fan with eight-watt LED array light fixture will brighten up a large room. Its 60-inch oar-style blades in Seashore White and Distressed Grey will give your room a modern touch. Like the Titan II, this fan also includes a remote for quick speed and lighting adjustments. This versatile fan can be used indoors or outdoors at both residential or commercial locations. The included warranty gives you peace of mind.
