Matthews Fans Irene-3 72in 3-Blade Ceiling Fan | Contemporary Matte Black and Barn Wood | Large Rooms & Open Spaces | Model IR3-BK-BW-72

A 72-inch three-blade ceiling fan from Matthews Fans, designed for oversized rooms over 400 sq ft, with a matte black motor housing and solid barn wood blades.

The Irene-3 is a study in contrasts: rustic, solid wood blades meet a sleek, globe-shaped matte black body. The result is a fan that feels both modern and warm, a signature piece that anchors a room without overwhelming it. Matthews Fan Company has been crafting premium ceiling fans since 1992, and the Irene-3 shows why—whisper-quiet DC motor, hand-finished materials, and a design that works in contemporary and transitional spaces alike.

Best for

• Oversized rooms over 400 sq ft, such as great rooms, lofts, and open-concept living areas
• Covered outdoor areas like patios, porches, or sunrooms—rated for damp locations
• Bathrooms without direct water exposure, thanks to the damp-rated construction
• High-ceiling dining rooms or entryways that need a statement piece
• Commercial or hospitality spaces with large footprints

Not ideal for

• Small rooms under 200 sq ft—the 72-inch blade span is better suited to larger spaces
• Rooms with ceilings steeper than 30 degrees without the optional cathedral canopy
• Anyone expecting a light kit—this fan does not include or support one
