Bedroom Ceiling Fan Guide

You know that a good night’s sleep can make or break your day. And in our sweltering Australian summers, a great ceiling fan can make all the difference. The following Bedroom Ceiling Fan Guide outlines some recommendations for selecting the right ceiling fan for your bedroom.

Small Bedroom Ceiling Fans

For small bedrooms less than 3m x 3m, we would recommend 48" or smaller ceiling fans. A small Australian bedroom is around 2.8m x 2.5m, in which space we would recommend a 44" ceiling fan, although depending on the room layout a 48" would still suit. For small spaces, consider your lighting requirements - you will most likely require a light kit on your ceiling fan. Having a 48" ceiling fan in a small space may dominate the decor in the room - so consider the style of the ceiling fan to be installed.

For small bedrooms, consider one of the following ceiling fans:

Standard Bedroom Ceiling Fans

For standard bedrooms that are between 3m x 3m and 4m x 4m, consider ceiling fans between 48" and 56" in size, depending on the exact size of your room. The average bedroom size in an Australian home is around 3.2m by 3.0m, in which space we would recommend a 52" ceiling fan. For larger than average bedrooms, up to 56" model sizes may be suitable.

For standard bedrooms, 52 inch ceiling fans are often ideal - the following options would suit:

Master Bedroom Ceiling Fans

The average standard Master Bedroom in an Australian home is 4m x 3.8m and blurs the line between medium and large spaces. This would allow for ceiling fans up to 60" in diameter, although a 52" ceiling fan positioned directly over the bed would still provide the necessary cooling while you sleep.

For average sized Master Bedrooms, 56 inch to 60 inch ceiling fans are often a great choice.

A very large master bedroom (e.g. 5m x 4.2m) may suit a ceiling fan up to 72" in diameter for people that enjoy gentle, quiet airflow while they sleep.

For very large Master Bedrooms, 60 inch to 72 inch ceiling fans are recommended.
