Sizes for chandeliers and fans
A rose should be about one third to half the width of the chandelier below, so a 60 cm chandelier suits a 25 to 35 cm rose. For fans, a smaller plate hides the canopy. Oversized roses look heavy in low rooms.
Weight and fixing
Heavy chandeliers need support from the slab, not the rose, which only decorates. Fix plaster roses with adhesive and screws, and light roses with adhesive. Chandelier hooks should go through to a structural point.
Painting and finishes
Paint roses in the ceiling colour for a subtle look or a contrast tone for emphasis. Gold leaf and metallic paint suit formal rooms. Prime porous plaster before painting.
Fitting tips
Cut the wiring hole accurately, keep the rose centred on the fitting and seal edges with filler. Installation should be done by a trained ceiling fixer, with the structure, wiring and services above the ceiling checked first.
Before you decide
Size the rose to the fitting, support the light separately and prime before painting. Measure each room, make a simple sketch of the ceiling layout with light and fan points, compare at least two quotes on the same specification of material, framing, paint and labour, and keep the invoice and any warranty. Ask the contractor for the finished thickness, drop height and wiring plan in writing, check a completed ceiling in person if possible and agree stage payments, with a final payment only after the finish, joints and lights are inspected. Prices change with material costs and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide.
