A 56-inch transitional ceiling fan from Matthews Fan, finished in brushed nickel with light maple tone ABS blades, for living rooms, bedrooms, and covered outdoor spaces.
The Alessandra combines minimal form with maximum efficiency. Its cast aluminum and heavy stamped steel construction, paired with light maple tone ABS blades, creates a clean, versatile look that complements any aesthetic. This fan is highly customizable, available in multiple finishes and blade options, and can be paired with a color-changeable light kit (sold separately). Suitable for fully exposed outdoor areas, it's backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Best for
- Living rooms, great rooms, and open-concept areas up to 400 sq ft, providing powerful airflow with a 6-speed DC motor
- Covered patios, pergolas, and gazebos - rated for wet locations, designed to withstand all weather conditions
- Bedrooms and home offices where quiet, efficient cooling is desired
- Rooms with sloped ceilings up to 30 degrees (optional 60-degree cathedral canopy available)
- Transitional and contemporary interiors that benefit from a sleek, understated fan design
Not ideal for
- Small rooms under 100 sq ft where a 56-inch blade span may feel oversized
- Spaces with ceilings under 8 feet unless you use a flush mount or shorter downrod (5-inch and 10-inch downrods included)
- Indoor-only spaces if you need a fan that can also be used in fully exposed outdoor areas - this fan is rated for both, but if you never use it outdoors, a smaller model may suffice
How bright is it?
This ceiling fan does not include a light kit, so brightness depends on the light kit you add (sold separately). The fan itself provides airflow, not illumination.
Light color and feel
No light kit included, so light color and feel are determined by the light kit you choose. The fan's finish is brushed nickel, which pairs well with warm or cool lighting.
