Indoor Ceiling Fans Buying Guide

Indoor ceiling fans are made for bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens and studies. As one of the largest fixtures in a room, an indoor fan is a style choice as well as a practical one. This collection holds indoor fans from Eglo and Brilliant, including the Eglo Seacliff, Iluka, Currumbin, Waikiki and Cabarita and the Brilliant Aviator, in white, black and timber-look finishes.

What does indoor rated mean?

An indoor or dry-rated fan is designed for rooms with no exposure to moisture. It often uses timber or timber-look blades and more electronic features. Do not use an indoor fan on an open patio, where damp air and rain can damage the motor and blades.

Which indoor fan suits a bedroom?

A quiet DC fan with a low speed setting suits a bedroom. For a standard bedroom, a 44 inch (112cm) fan such as the Eglo Seacliff works well. For a larger main bedroom, a 52 inch (132cm) model gives more coverage. A remote saves getting up to change the speed overnight, and a reverse function lets the fan push warm air down gently in winter.

Which indoor fan suits a living room?

Living rooms suit a 52 inch fan or larger. Open plan spaces suit 60 inch fans such as the Eglo Currumbin and Iluka 60, or the Brilliant Aviator at 66 inch (167cm). For a long combined living and dining room, two evenly spaced fans give even airflow.

What style of indoor fan should I choose?

Match the fan to the room. White fans blend into a white ceiling. Black fans suit modern and industrial rooms. Timber-look blades, such as the Eglo Seacliff with light walnut or oak, the Eglo Currumbin in merbau black or the Eglo Cabarita with bamboo, suit coastal and Scandinavian interiors. The Brilliant Aviator in oil rubbed bronze with walnut gives a vintage look.

Should my indoor fan have a light?

If the fan replaces the main ceiling light, yes. The Eglo Seacliff comes with a 15W LED CCT light and the Eglo Iluka with an 18W tricolour LED light, so you can choose the colour of the light. If the room already has downlights, a fan without a light keeps the ceiling cleaner.

How much clearance does an indoor fan need?

The blades need at least 2.1 metres above the floor and 300mm from walls. On ceilings of 2.4 metres or lower, choose a hugger such as the Eglo Iluka Hugger, which sits close to the ceiling. A licensed electrician must install the fan, fixing it to a ceiling joist or rated bracket so it runs steadily without wobble.

Completing the room

Compare quiet operation fans for bedrooms, low profile fans for low ceilings and woodgrain ceiling fans for a natural look. Browse all ceiling fans at The Blue Space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose a DC or AC motor ceiling fan?

This choice comes down to what you value most: upfront cost or long-term efficiency. AC motor fans are the traditional, more affordable option and remain reliable workhorses. DC motor fans, by contrast, use up to 70% less energy, run quieter, and offer finer speed control, an investment that tends to reward those who value comfort and lower running costs over the years ahead.

What size ceiling fan do I need for my room?

The right fan size is determined by the dimensions of the room, not personal preference alone. As a general guide, rooms up to 12m² suit a blade span of 900–1200mm, rooms up to 20m² call for 1200–1400mm, and larger open-plan living areas often benefit from 1400mm or above. Ceiling height also plays its part, for ceilings under 2.4m, a low-profile or hugger-style fan is the wiser choice to maintain safe clearance while still delivering effective airflow.

Should my ceiling fan spin clockwise or anticlockwise?

There is wisdom in the seasons here. In summer, fans should rotate anticlockwise (when viewed from below) to push air straight down, creating a cooling breeze. In winter, reversing the fan to spin clockwise draws warm air that naturally rises back down into the room, helping redistribute heat more evenly.

Are outdoor ceiling fans different from indoor ones?

They are, and the distinction matters. Outdoor fans are built to endure the elements, rated as either "damp" (suitable for covered, sheltered areas like alfresco spaces) or "wet" (able to withstand direct rain and moisture). Installing an indoor-rated fan outdoors risks premature wear and safety issues, so it's worth confirming the rating aligns with where the fan will ultimately live.
