Generally speaking, our customers choose larger sizes for living room ceiling fans – compared to fans for the bedroom. However the correct size for you depends on the size of the room and the area you need to cover. Start by looking at fans between 54 inches and 60 inches – these are larger than standard size. But there are even bigger fans on the market which can add a real “wow factor” to your living room.
