Should I size up or down within the range?

Size up for open layouts or higher ceilings; size down if space is tight or you prefer smaller visuals.

Does blade pitch or motor matter?

Yes. Higher CFM fans move more air at the same size. Check CFM ratings if airflow is critical.

Yes for sizing; choose damp/wet-rated fans and consider more airflow for outdoors.

Keep blades ~8–9 ft above the floor; use downrods or flush mounts accordingly.

For rooms under ~225 sq ft, stay within the recommended range; 60" is better for large/open areas.

Pick the right ceiling fan blade span based on room size.

Typical sizing guides: up to 75 sq ft → 29–36", 76–144 → 36–42", 144–225 → 44–50", 225–400 → 50–54", 400+ → 60"+.

We map your room size to a min/max fan size range using these reference bands.

Size bands (sq ft → fan span):
Up to 75: 29–36"
76–144: 36–42"
145–225: 44–50"
226–400: 50–54"
400+: 60"+

Higher ceilings or open layouts may benefit from the upper end of the range.
For very large/open spaces, consider multiple fans instead of one oversized unit.
Match mounting type (downrod/flush) to ceiling height to keep blades ~8–9 ft above floor.
Simplified guide; airflow (CFM) also depends on motor, blade pitch, and mounting height.
Does not account for ceiling height; use downrods/flush mounts to hit ideal blade height.
Very large spaces may need multiple fans despite blade span.

Find the right ceiling fan size by entering room square footage to get a recommended blade span range.

Use the suggested range and adjust for ceiling height, openness, and airflow needs.

Should I size up or down within the range?: Size up for open layouts or higher ceilings; size down if space is tight or you prefer smaller visuals.
Does blade pitch or motor matter?: Yes. Higher CFM fans move more air at the same size. Check CFM ratings if airflow is critical.
Can I use this for outdoor fans?: Yes for sizing; choose damp/wet-rated fans and consider more airflow for outdoors.
What about ceiling height?: Keep blades ~8–9 ft above the floor; use downrods or flush mounts accordingly.
Is 60"+ too big for small rooms?: For rooms under ~225 sq ft, stay within the recommended range; 60" is better for large/open areas.
