Ceiling Fans FAQ

Ceiling fans help circulate air to make rooms feel cooler in summer and warmer in winter, saving energy and improving comfort. If you're considering a ceiling fan for your home, this Ashley FAQ addresses the most common questions about sizing, placement, performance, style, and value to guide your purchase decision. Find straightforward, reliable information below to help you choose the best ceiling fan for your space.

How to choose a ceiling fan?

Selecting the right ceiling fan for your bedroom or living space can make a significant difference in comfort, energy efficiency, and room aesthetics. Before buying, consider the following essential factors:
  • Measure your room's square footage to choose the correct ceiling fan blade span.
  • Check your ceiling height to determine if you need a flush mount or a downrod installation.
  • Look for the fan's CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) rating to ensure strong airflow and effective cooling.
  • Decide if you want a ceiling fan with built-in lights or one compatible with dimmable bulbs, depending on your lighting needs.
  • Make sure the fan fits your room's style and meets your performance and efficiency preferences.
For those seeking a stylish yet functional option, Ashley ceiling fan collection offers designs that blend seamlessly with various decor styles and deliver reliable performance.

What are the different types of ceiling fans?

Ceiling fans generally fall into categories based on how they mount to your ceiling and where they operate:
  • Standard Mount Fans: These use a short downrod to drop the fan to the optimal height. They are ideal for standard indoor ceilings that are eight to nine feet tall.
  • Flush Mount (Hugger) Fans: Designed for low ceilings, these fans attach directly to the ceiling without a downrod. This keeps the blades at a safe distance from the floor.
  • Sloped Ceiling Fans: If you have vaulted or angled ceilings, these require an angled mounting bracket and a longer downrod length to hang straight down and allow the blades to clear the ceiling structure.
  • Outdoor Ceiling Fans: Built to withstand outdoor elements, these are rated for damp or wet locations, making them suitable for covered patios and open pergolas.

What is the best type of ceiling fan to get?

Choosing the right ceiling fan for your home starts with measuring your room's ceiling height. For rooms with ceilings less than eight feet high, a flush mount or "hugger" fan is recommended. These fans are installed directly against the ceiling to ensure ample head clearance and safe operation especially important in bedrooms and living areas that see frequent use.

If your ceiling is nine feet or higher, select a ceiling fan with a downrod. A downrod is an extension pipe that lowers the fan to an optimal height, typically placing the blades seven to eight feet above the floor. This positioning improves air circulation by bringing the airflow closer to your living space, enhancing both comfort and the style of your home decor. Always refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for downrod length based on your specific ceiling height to achieve the best performance and safety.

What size ceiling fan for a bedroom?

Getting the ceiling fan size right ensures the air circulates effectively without physically or visually overpowering the room. For most bedrooms, you can find the right fit by matching the fan's diameter (blade span) to your square footage:
  • Small bedrooms (under 100 square feet): Choose a fan with a 36-inch to 42-inch blade span.
  • Standard bedrooms (100 to 144 square feet): A 44-inch to 52-inch fan works best. A 52-inch fan is usually the perfect fit for a standard 12x12 bedroom.
  • Large primary bedrooms (144 to 225 square feet): Look for a larger fan size between 52 inches and 60 inches. If your bedroom is larger than 225 square feet or if you are coordinating with your bedroom sets, consider a fan larger than 60 inches or installing two smaller fans to ensure proper airflow.

Where to buy modern ceiling fans with lights?

You can buy modern ceiling fans with lights directly from Ashley. Ashley offers a wide selection of contemporary ceiling fan designs with various features and price points, making it easy to find an option that fits your bedroom or living space. For rooms needing extra illumination, choose a LED ceiling fan or add lamps or wall sconces for additional lighting.

Many of these fans are also paired with remotes to control the speed and on/off modes, making them even more convenient to use.
