Why We Love Large Ceiling Fans. Big spaces need large ceiling fans if you want to get any real sense of air movement and these big fans can take care of that. If you want to be counted as a large ceiling fan, you will 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.
Ceiling fans are measured by the full size of their blade span (also called blade sweep), which is the diameter of the circle that you see when the fan blades are in motion. Or, in other words, fan blade span reaches from the tip of one fan blade to the tip of the blade directly across. Most ceiling fans sizes are also determined by the room they will be placed in. For example, a kitchen ceiling fan will be much smaller in blade diameter and length than a ceiling fan for the living room. Use the ceiling fan size chart below to get the best idea of what size you need.
