Size

• If you're decorating a small room, a ceiling fan that doesn't take up too much ceiling space is ideal. A more noticeable ceiling fan is better for a child's room that is much larger. Regardless of the size of the fan, it's always best to position it in the center of the ceiling so air distribution and lighting are even throughout the room.
  
  

Function

• The function of a ceiling fan is to illuminate the room and change its temperature when necessary. One with large wooden or plastic extensions will cool the room faster. Electrical wiring should be connected to the ceiling fan so you can install a light bulb and your child can use the switch on the wall to turn the light on and off.
  
  

Significance

• Before installing the ceiling fan, design or decorate the light fixture with your child so that the fan will have specific significance. You can paint the fan extensions in your child's favorite color or adorn the ceiling fan with stickers. You may also want to use the bills of the ceiling fan to feature your child's initials to completely customize the fan.
