Choosing between a 75 cm, 110 cm and 150 cm wall fan starts with the space around it. A smaller fan can sit comfortably above a narrow console; a larger one can become the main feature above a sofa. The right choice depends on your furniture, clear wall space and the effect you want.
This guide compares ERISO’s three listed sizes and gives you a simple way to test the proportions before choosing. Check the product page for current options and availability.
75 cm vs 110 cm vs 150 cm: a quick comparison
| Fan size | Consider it for | Furniture width at a two-thirds proportion | Visual effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| 75 cm | A compact entryway, small console or a narrow wall section | About 113 cm | A smaller accent with more wall visible around it |
| 110 cm | A medium console, headboard or sideboard | About 165 cm | A clear focal point with room for surrounding space |
| 150 cm | A wide sofa, broad sideboard or generous blank wall | About 225 cm | A larger statement that becomes the main wall feature |
These furniture widths are calculated styling examples, not minimum requirements or measurements of the rooms pictured. Use the fan’s full open width for horizontal planning, and confirm its full installed height, including the loop and tassel, before marking your wall.
When to choose the 75 cm wall fan
Start with 75 cm when you want a smaller accent or have limited uninterrupted wall space. It is worth testing above a compact console, in a reading corner or on a wall section between a doorway and a window.
For example, a 75 cm fan is about 63% of a 120 cm console’s width. That leaves visible space on both sides when centred. On a much wider sofa it will look more understated, which may suit a room that already has other focal points.

When to choose the 110 cm wall fan
The 110 cm size is a useful starting point for a medium-width piece of furniture. Above a 160 cm headboard it spans about 69% of the width; above a 180 cm sideboard it spans about 61%.
Consider it when you want the fan to be noticeable without filling most of the wall. The green colour pairs easily with cream walls, timber and neutral textiles. We refer to this matcha-green styling palette as Matcha; the product selector currently calls the colour Moss Green.

When to choose the 150 cm wall fan
Test 150 cm when the wall and furniture can support a larger focal point. It spans about 68% of a 220 cm sofa, making it a starting point for a broad seating area or substantial sideboard.
Check the whole outline, not just the width. A large fan needs enough clearance from the ceiling, lights, shelves and nearby doorways, as well as space for the hanging loop and tassel. Choose it because it fits your room, rather than assuming the biggest size is always best.

How to measure your space before choosing
- Measure the furniture. Use the outer width of your headboard, console or sofa section, rather than the mattress width or room width.
- Compare the three widths. Mark 75 cm, 110 cm and 150 cm on a paper strip. A fan around two-thirds of the furniture width is a styling starting point, not a rule.
- Check vertical clearance. Confirm the chosen size’s complete hanging height. The loop and tassel need space too; do not assume the fan’s height is half its width.
- Preview it on the wall. Use paper and wall-safe tape, tested on an inconspicuous area. Stand back from the doorway and from your usual seating position.
- Check practical clearance. Leave space around furniture, door swings and walkways. Choose a position and fixing suitable for the product and your wall.

Frequently asked questions
Which size wall fan should I put above a bed?
Measure the headboard first. A 110 cm fan is about two-thirds of a 165 cm headboard. A different headboard width, low ceiling or nearby sconces may change your choice, so test the outline rather than relying on the bed’s size name.
Is 150 cm too large for a small room?
Not necessarily. A small room can have a wide, clear wall. Compare the fan with the usable wall area and furniture beneath it, including the full hanging height.
Should I size up if I am between two options?
Try both widths on the wall first. Choose the smaller option for more open space, or the larger one for a stronger focal point if it has adequate clearance.
Are the room images exact size guides?
No. The room scenes in this guide are AI-generated styling illustrations. Scale, colour and fine details can vary. Use the listed measurements and your own wall measurements to choose a size.
