A ceiling fan can add visual interest and drama to any room, tying the furnishings together and helping everything appear more finished. 

Yet, it's important to keep scale in mind. 

A small, low-profile fan can disappear into a soaring, 12-foot ceiling, while an oversized one usually looks out of place in a small bedroom. Whether your style is bohemian, traditional, eclectic, or modern, balance is key.

Today, we're sharing a quick guide to choosing the right ceiling fan size, so you can get it right every time!

Why Does Ceiling Fan Size Matter?

When we talk about ceiling fan sizes, we're describing a range of factors, including downrod length and blade span. 

For instance, small fans often sit flush to the ceiling, with a blade span that usually starts around 24 inches and can extend to 49 inches. On the other hand, large ceiling fans include a downrod for 8 to 9 foot ceiling, and longer downrods are available

One minute, you're relaxing underneath the gentle breeze of your ceiling fan. The next, you're trying to ignore the pesky, repetitive click you hear every time the blades spin.

A fan should be a source of comfort and convenience in your home, never annoyance. Thankfully, there are a few steps you can take to help eliminate the distraction.

Today, we're discussing how to silence a noisy ceiling fan, so you can get back to enjoying yours as intended!

Check the Blades

Is your ceiling fan making noise? 

If so, check the fan blade connections.

There are screws that connect the blades to the blade irons. If these come loose, they can create an aggravating, intermittent ticking sound. In the fan industry, this is known as a "blade tick".

The same applies to the screws that connect the blades to the fan motor. If these become loose, a ticking noise can also occur.
