Leave at least 2 or 3 feet of space between the end of the fan blade to the closest wall to determine the largest size fan you can put in a room (3 feet for ceilings 9 feet or less, 2 feet for higher ceilings). For example: a small 10' x 10' room could accommodate a 48" to 72" fan.
Can a ceiling fan be too big for a room?
Ceiling fans can be too big for a room, resulting in low airflow and less cooling. However, ceiling fans can also be too small, which creates too much airflow. Some tips for sizing your ceiling fan include measuring the longest wall, measuring floor-to-ceiling, and considering light kits.19 nov 2020
