Abundant in style and the ability to move air in a space, large ceiling fans were once a focal point on the ceilings of open warehouses, gymnasiums and restaurants—in other words, a big, giant fan for a big, giant space. But large ceiling fan designs have been working their way into residential spaces more and more finding a home in living rooms and great rooms or outdoors under covered gazebos and patios. And with the help of Fanimation’s unique selection, finding the ideal large fan for your home could not be easier – here are a few favorites to check out:
