Ceiling fans express your style, provide comfort, beauty and even add to the energy efficiency of your home. Little may know that ceiling fans come in different sizes and that there are specific ways to determine which fan size is best for your space. Sizing a fan to better fit a room takes into account both the airflow needs and the overall aesthetics of the ceiling fan.
