Ceiling fans for bedrooms mean a few things: you want your fan to be dead silent, powerful, and good looking. Is that all too much to ask?
Apparently, because a quick Google search will pull up a myriad of terribly dated looking fans! After we upgraded our ceiling fan for our bedroom (see below!) – the result was so lovely I stopped thinking a fan couldn’t be as pretty as a statement light. In my case, our bedroom ceiling fan is just as good looking as a chandelier!

10 Ceiling Fans For Bedrooms With a Splurge and Save Option
Below are 10 fans that we own, or just love (and are well reviewed!) that proves sometimes practical can be beautiful. We own number one, two, three, four and seven, and I share photos below of those ceiling fans! My bedroom fan is number one; it’s affordable look alike (two) is show below in our guest bedroom.
Ceiling fans for bedrooms:
one | two | three | four | five | six | seven | eight | nine | ten
“Splurge” can be personal – in this case the “splurge” fan is simply more than the “save” version of the ceiling fan. Looking for more? See also, 15 Cute Ceiling Fans For All Budgets.
1. Splurge On The Maverick: A Ceiling Fan Made For Your Bedroom
We have the 52″ Maverick, and it is an expense that I went back and forth about – and now consider it worth every penny! Dead silent while the fan is on, powerful air on the max setting and so pretty – this fan is as high quality as you would expect for the price. Even the remote is pretty. As a hot sleeper, I highly recommend.
I would go larger if at all possible. If shopping again I would choose the size larger so that the breeze reaches all areas in the room.

2. Save On The DC Motor Ceiling Fan
The “save” version of the Maverick, and for less than $200. (If you don’t see the white and brass option, it’s sold out but often comes back). After I shared this with you it was one of the most loved items bought all year!
The price is such a bargain when you see how nice looking it is. We love it in our guest room so much I bought a second one for my daughter’s room. The one con – I wouldn’t recommend it to light up a very large living room as the light is more of a bedroom light. It’s not dim – but not enough watts to light up large living spaces with no additional light sources.

3. Splurge On The Wave Ceiling Fan For Bedrooms
This was a ceiling fan designed for stylish bedrooms! We used it in my daughters’ shared bedroom in our last house. The curve of the blades is so chic.

4. Save + Blend In With This Good Looking + Basic Ceiling Fan
(our living room above, find sources in this post here.)
Not everything has to be over the top – and we bought this basic three times! If you want a good looking ceiling fan that blends right in, we love this fan. It has a powerful motor and is the most affordable but best fan in our house. Our son has it in black in his bedroom.
This is the best value for your dollar.

5. Splurge On A Brass and Acrylic Ceiling Fan For Bedroom
This ceiling fan is well loved by designers. The acrylic blades with satin brass AND a light make it both practical and pretty! The acrylic can read feminine or modern, making it the perfect ceiling fan for bedrooms.

6. Save on A Brass and Acrylic Ceiling Fan
Slightly less expensive, this is another great option that I’ve seen used in several well designed spaces. A beautiful choice for a ceiling fan in a bedroom.

7. Splurge On The Goozegg Ceiling Fan
Although this fan also works outdoors, it would be beautiful in a modern bedroom. Real wood and I can attest it is strong, powerful and worth every penny – we have two on our back deck!
You can see a quick tour of our back deck in this post.
These indoor or outdoor fans modernized the look of our back deck and give a strong breeze. There are several shades of wood you can choose from, from light to dark. This is a great buy if you don’t need the light! (We have recessed lights already put in the ceiling so there was no need for a fan with a light.)
Shop it here:
8. Save On This Coastal Ceiling Fan
Another real oak wood fan that coastal design lovers will appreciate – for a fraction of the price of it’s expensive twin! This fan would look beautiful in a beachy room with lots of whites and woods. Gorgeous and great reviews!

What Size Ceiling Fan Do I Need For My Bedroom?
Ceiling fans are measured by the size of their blades all the way across. In other words, the measurement from the end of one fan blade all the way to the end of the fan blade directly across.
Below is a rough guide for what size to look for:
- Fan blades of 42″ to 48″ for bedrooms up to 175 sq ft.
- Fan blades of 52″ to 56″ for bedrooms up to 350 sq ft.
- Fan blades of 60″ for bedrooms larger than 350 sq ft.
In an ideal world, your ceiling fan should hang at least 8 inches from the ceiling for adequate air circulation. But due to low ceilinsg or tall furniture (hi canopy bed!), that’s obviously not always possible. But the fan should never be lower than 7 ft above the floor, no matter what, for safety reasons.
