How to Choose the Right Ceiling Fan for Your Space It is easy to forget that when we walk into a room, we experience it with almost all our senses. While a sleek coffee table can elevate the visual aspect of a room and a texturally rich rug can ground the space with a soft touch and even help dampen noise, ceiling fans add a dimension to your living areas that is hard to define but impossible to miss. To achieve this, it is essential first to consider the room's proportions—both the square footage and the height—to find the best ceiling fan for your space. For example, a bedroom ceiling fan may have a smaller diameter than a living room ceiling fan since it serves a smaller area. Similarly, a ceiling fan flush mount may be the optimal choice for a room with a lower ceiling, whereas a taller room may require a downrod—a metal pole that drops the height of the ceiling fan. Ceiling fans are measured by diameter, from the tip of one of the blades to the center multiplied by two. For best air circulation, a fan with up to a 48-inch diameter is suitable for a space up to 200 square feet. A fan with up to a 56-inch diameter is ideal for an area up to 400 square feet. Anything larger can accommodate a larger space. Some designs, such as our Aurore Ceiling Fan , come in multiple sizes so that you can fit the right style to the right area. Typically, ceiling fans should hang no lower than 7-feet for safety but no higher than 9-feet for good airflow. Many fans come with a 4.5-inch downrod which is ideal for a standard 9-foot room. If you are shopping for upstairs bedroom ceiling fans or another more compact space, you may want a ceiling fan flush mount design to ensure at least 7-feet of clearance. For taller ceilings, different length downrods can be purchased to suit your space. How to Style a Ceiling Fan Of course, the best ceiling fans do more than circulate air; they blend seamlessly into your aesthetic, reflecting and augmenting the design notes in your look. Streamlined
