They're not so different.
But you should use ”大きな” in front of nouns.
For example,
大きな家( Good. More natural and correct)
大きい家(This is also used by a lot of people in Japan, if you say that, we can fully understand you.)

Another note that I want to make is that "大きな" can be commonly used to modify abstract nouns as well. Here are examples.
1) 大きな夢
2) 大きな拍手(はくしゅ:applause)
3) 大きな問題
