Ceiling fans are an essential part of keeping your home comfortable — but they’re also a great way to add to your home’s decor and save money on your energy bill. And while it may seem like a simple decision, there’s much more to buying a ceiling fan than you may think. Luckily, Home Depot offers a variety of choices when it comes to ceiling fans, so you can find exactly what your home needs. We’ve rounded up a few of our favorite ceiling fans from Home Depot that will fuse form and function for any room in your house.
Things to consider when buying ceiling fans:
Location and size
When buying a ceiling fan, a huge determining factor in what you purchase will be where you plan to install the ceiling fan. If it’s an outdoor space, ensure the ceiling fan is rated for damp/wet areas. For indoor fans, consider the size of the room in which they will be installed. Smaller bedrooms and bathrooms are easy to outfit with a smaller fan, but a good rule of thumb for larger spaces is to use a 52-inch fan or larger or consider two fans.
Mounting type
This measurement is just as important as the size of your fan because if your ceiling fan is mounted too close to the ceiling, it will trap air or move less air. The ideal height of your ceiling fan should be 8 feet from your floor. Flush mount ceiling fans are great for low ceilings, while downrod mounts are best for ceiling fans in living rooms or rooms with ceilings greater than 8 feet.
Airflow and efficiency
You’ll have a choice between AC motors and DC motors when shopping for ceiling fans. Fans with an AC motor are less expensive and come with a variety of controllers — remote control, wall switch, and chain switch. Fans with a DC motor tend to have a higher price tag, but they are much more energy-efficient, have a slimmer profile, and are very quiet. If energy efficiency is top of mind for your home, be sure to look for Energy Star-rated fans, which means they use up to 20% less energy.
Features and styles
Fans can make a statement in your room or simply compliment your current style. Choose from modern, rustic, coastal, classic, and other styles to match your home’s decor. However, when looking for that perfect style, also consider the features of the fan, including:
- Control options: Does the fan come with pull chains or remote controls, and can it be controlled from a wall switch?
- Lighting: Do you want a fan with a light kit, or do you prefer a ceiling fan without lights? If you want a ceiling fan with lights, you’ll need to decide whether you prefer LED bulbs, halogen, or fluorescent bulbs.
- Smart home integrated: Consider whether you need a fan that can be controlled through your smart home device or linked to smart thermostats for greater home energy efficiency.

“I’ve been searching for quite some time now for a more modern looking fan for our master bedroom. One with a light, not too large, and something that didn’t look like a clunky 90s monstrosity or some weird boat propeller. Not only does this fan tick all those boxes, it is also extremely affordable! The ONLY downside is that the fan blades are a faux wood grain composite material, but that explains the low price point. Honestly, I couldn’t be happier with this purchase and am thinking of getting a couple more for other rooms in our house! Other high points: the motor is whisper quiet, and the LED is a warm white. If you purchase, you won’t be disappointed!”
