Big spaces need large ceiling fans to get a real sense of air movement and these big fans can take care of that. To be counted as a large ceiling fan, fans need a blade span (diameter) of at least 52 inches (over 4 feet) or more. Truly large ceiling fan designs get into the 6-foot and even 7-foot range and that means all the more refreshing air circulation for everyone. Whether in a great room, an oversized living room or a large industrial space, this selection of ceiling fans will suit a range of needs.
A Large Ceiling Fan for Every Room & Application
Large and tall rooms like the living room or great room will benefit most from this style of ceiling fan. A ceiling size of 15 feet by 15 feet is a good place to start, especially for ceilings 10 feet high or higher. However, this is not to say a standard 8-foot ceiling won't benefit from the use of a large ceiling fan, as there are options that can easily accommodate that height. With advanced efficiency technology, choosing to use a big ceiling fan on a standard 8-foot ceiling will not consume more energy than a traditional fan. Outside of the home, deck and patio spaces are also perfect for large outdoor ceiling fans like the Minka Aire Slipstream or the expansive Fanimation Odyn. Either of these large fan options allows you to tame a sweltering day with your own ready-made breeze. And in warehouses, gymnasiums, restaurants or other commercial locations with high ceilings, you will love the airflow provided by these large ceiling fans.
A Large Ceiling Fan for Every Style
Clean, modern designs from Minka Aire fit well in contemporary living rooms and great rooms, while Kichler fans fit spaces with more traditional and transitional elements of decoration. Using a combination of bronze and brushed nickel finishes, Kichler fans work well in a transitional living room or great room. Outside, under covered decks, patios and gazebos, look to a damp or wet rated large fan from Hunter Ceiling Fans. Just be sure the fan is UL listed for locations where the presence of water is unavoidable. And if you love energy efficiency in your home, look to any of the large fan options that are powered with a DC motor or those that use an integrated LED light kit. Large ceiling fans with lights like an integrated LED kit will allow you to successfully accomplish two tasks at once - keeping your rooms cool and well-illuminated. Finally, find a huge helicopter-style fan with any of the options from Big Ass Fans.
How to Choose the Best Large Ceiling Fan
Size matters when it comes to choosing a ceiling fan and this selection of oversized ceiling fans makes understanding fan sizes especially important. To choose the best ceiling fan for your large room, you will want to review the fan's blade span (typically expressed as a diameter), its mounting type and the measurements of your room.
Large Ceiling Fan Sizes
Most big ceiling fan options are available with blade spans ranging from 60" all the way to a massive 99" option. If you are opting for a large fan for your home, it's critical that you understand exactly how big of a fan your room can accommodate. Ceiling fan size is measured from the end of one blade to the end of the opposite blade, giving you a diameter in inches. Standard ceiling fan sizes range between 44" and 52", making anything 60" or larger a big deal.
Before beginning your search for a new ceiling fan, pull out the measuring tape and gather the dimensions of your space. Assuming you'll be installing a large fan on a ceiling that is higher than 8 feet, you'll have a few different mounting options available to you:
With Downrod
Most large blade ceiling fans include a downrod extension that allows the fan to hang far from the base of the ceiling. For rooms with tall and vaulted ceilings, a downrod with your big ceiling fan is a must-have.
Without Downrod
Although big ceiling fans require room to stretch out and expand their blades, they can still be mounted relatively close to the base of the ceiling. This style of large flush mount ceiling fan either hugs the fan or includes a short downrod of 3 to 4 inches in length. For some living rooms and master bedrooms in need of a big fan, this is your go-to choice.
With a blade span and mounting style in mind, you're ready to refine your options by colors, finishes and the special features you prefer in a ceiling fan. Take note of the fan's airflow efficiency metrics and consider fans with remote control for added convenience.

Large Ceiling Fan Buying Guide:
Sizes: How do I know what size ceiling fan I need for my room?
The size of the ceiling fan needed largely depends on the size of the room. Generally, a room that is 75 square feet will need a small ceiling fan that is 29 to 36 inches in diameter. For rooms between 76 to 144 square feet, fans that are 36 to 42 inches would be ideal. Larger rooms, up to 225 square feet, should look for fans that are 50 to 54 inches.
Room: How do I choose a ceiling fan for a room?
When choosing a ceiling fan for a room, consider the room's size, the ceiling's height and the overall decor style. The fan's size and power should correspond to the room's dimensions to efficiently circulate air. The style of the fan should complement the room's aesthetic, and the installation should suit the ceiling height and type (e.g., flat, sloped).
Price: How much does a large ceiling fan cost?
The cost of a large ceiling fan can vary significantly based on size, materials, features and brand. On average, a high-quality large ceiling fan can range from $200 to over $1000. Custom or high-end luxury fans can cost even more.
Height: What is the ideal ceiling fan height?
The ideal ceiling fan height is at least seven to nine feet from the floor to the blades for safety and optimal airflow. For a ceiling higher than nine feet, use a downrod to achieve the ideal height.
Lighting: How many lumens is good for a large ceiling fan?
The lumens required for a large ceiling fan will depend on the room's size and the ambiance desired. For a bright, primary light source, use a fan with a light fixture offering 1000-2000 lumens. However, for mood or accent lighting, 800-1000 lumens may suffice.
Efficiency: What makes a large ceiling fan energy efficient?
A large ceiling fan is energy efficient if it has a high Energy Star rating, which means it consumes less electricity than standard fans. Features like DC motors, LED lighting and smart thermostats also contribute to energy efficiency.
Air flow: What is good air flow for a ceiling fan?
Good air flow for a ceiling fan is measured in Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM). A residential ceiling fan typically has an airflow of 4,000-5,000 CFM on low speed and 7,000-11,000 CFM on high speed. For larger spaces, use a fan capable of delivering over 11,000 CFM.
Color: How do I know what color ceiling fan to buy?
Choosing a ceiling fan color involves considering the room's overall color scheme, including walls, floors and furnishings. Select a fan color that complements the decor's palette or contrasts it. Neutral colors like black, white or wood tones are versatile and tend to blend well with various styles.
Styles: What are the popular styles for large ceiling fans?
Popular styles for large ceiling fans include contemporary (with clean lines and modern finishes), traditional (evoking a sense of history and elegance), transitional (a blend of contemporary and traditional), industrial (robust with metal finishes) and rustic (featuring wood and natural elements). The style chosen should complement the room's overall design aesthetic.
Frequently Asked Questions about Large Ceiling Fans:
What is the largest size ceiling fan?
The largest residential ceiling fans typically have a blade span of 72 inches, although there are specialty or commercial fans that can be even larger, with blade spans reaching 84 inches or more. These are ideal for large spaces where standard fans would not be effective.
How large of a ceiling fan do I need?
The size of the ceiling fan needed depends on the size of the room that needs to be cooled. Here's a general guideline:
- Rooms up to 75 square feet: 29-36 inches
- Rooms 76-144 square feet: 36-42 inches
- Rooms 145-225 square feet: 44-50 inches
- Rooms 225-400 square feet: 50-54 inches
What size ceiling fan for a large living room?
For large living rooms, especially those larger than 300 square feet, use a ceiling fan that is 56 inches or larger. For living spaces that exceed 400 square feet, consider going for a fan that is 60 inches or more. In some cases, it might be effective to use multiple fans to cover larger areas adequately.
What is the best size ceiling fan for a large bedroom?
For a large bedroom, which might range from 200 to 400 square feet, a ceiling fan that is between 50-58 inches is typically sufficient. This size provides an adequate balance of airflow and space, ensuring effective circulation without the fan overwhelming the room. If the bedroom exceeds 400 square feet, consider a fan larger than 60 inches.
Other Considerations
If your outdoor space isn't quite large enough to fit a ceiling fan with a 7-foot blade span, there are plenty of more petite options included in the assortment of outdoor ceiling fans. Outdoor ceiling fans are also damp or wet-rated, ensuring safe use where the presence of water is inevitable. On the opposite side of the size spectrum, you may prefer small ceiling fans for home offices, bedrooms and breakfast nooks. And consider pairing any fan you choose with floor and table lamps to layer the level of lighting available in the room. Or, if you have too much light in any given room, opt for a ceiling fan without light.
