Small Bedroom FAQs
What size ceiling fan do I need for a small bedroom?
Although most standard size bedrooms would do fine with a standard 52 inch ceiling fan a smaller size fan may be needed for rooms 10x10ft or under. Use the chart below to learn the maximum recommended ceiling fan size for your room. If you wish to learn more about how ceiling fans and rooms are measured then check out our guide How to Choose the Correct Size Ceiling Fan for more in-depth info.
Is a bigger ceiling fan better in a small room?
This is a common question for those who are concerned with airflow and energy efficiency. The chart above is a guide on the largest ceiling fan recommended by room size but is bigger always better? It’s important to know the difference between larger and smaller ceiling fans. There are two ways you can make a ceiling fan more efficient: Either increase the ceiling fan speed or increase it’s blade span.
Today you can find many small ceiling fans with strong motors and fewer blades that will push a substantial amount of airflow. But unless you purchase an energy efficient fan or one with a high grade DC motor, increased motor speed often means more energy usage. Alternatively you can go with a bigger ceiling fan with a larger blade span. Fans with larger blade spans move more air than smaller ceiling fan in the same speed setting. Ideally you would want to have a slightly larger ceiling fan on a medium setting instead of a smaller ceiling fan on high (that needs more power to drive the motor at high speeds). Those concerned with energy efficiency and lowering their costs would fare well with getting the largest ceiling fan recommended for their room size and paying close attention to choosing a fan that is Energy Star rated or uses a DC motor.
