49" to 56"

Medium Sized Ceiling Fans
49" to 56" Fans (12 x 12 Rooms): Typical Bedroom, Small Den, Small Living Room, Game Room

Ceiling Fan Tip: Medium ceiling fans typically have 50", 52", 54" or 56" blade spans and are the most popular sized fans used. Fans of this size are most often used in living rooms, dining rooms, game rooms, master bedrooms and the like. If your room is larger than 12 feet x 12 feet, then you should be able to use a standard sized ceiling fan. For rooms that are larger than 15 feet x 15 feet, you may wish to consider using 2 ceiling fans, or check out our Large Ceiling Fans that are 56 inches in diameter or wider.

What Size Fan Do I Need? BIGGER IS BETTER: The main cooling effect is felt from directly beneath a ceiling fan and drops off dramatically within about 1 foot from the blades. If the fan is in the middle of the room with seating off to the side, use as large a fan as you can handle that has the highest wind speed (refer to our MPH ratings). If the seating is directly beneath the fan, use a fan large enough to cover the seating area.
