How Do I Choose the Right Size Ceiling Fan?

So, you’re looking for a new Ceiling Fan but you’re unsure where to start and what you need! With tonnes of products available on the Aussie market, it can be hard to find the right size ceiling fan for your space. Our local team of cooling and lighting experts are here to help and have put together a guide on choosing the right size ceiling fan for you! 


First and foremost, you’ll need to grab out either your trusty measuring tape or your smartphone to measure the size of the room that your ceiling fan will be going into. This is super easy if your space is an even square or rectangular shape, but if you have all sorts of angles and shapes going on in your space then you might need to do some approximations! 


Once you’ve found the size of your room you can follow the below table to find the correct size Ceiling Fan for your space!


For a small-sized area, you could be looking at a ceiling fan anywhere from 25" to 48", for medium-sized spaces it's more like 42" to 56", whereas larger rooms are usually 52" to 56". 


If you have a super large space we have Ceiling Fans all the way up to 120", we recommend speaking to our staff if you're looking for a giant Ceiling Fan!

As a standard rule of thumb, we recommend for a super wide space to use two small fans! There are a few best practices when it comes to roof heights and light outputs near your fans, so if you have any questions about what is the right ceiling fan for your space make sure to chat with our friendly customer service team!
