If you’re to add some gravitas and detailing around your ceiling lighting, or just cover up unsightly wiring or marks on the plaster, a ceiling rose may be the way to go.

What is a ceiling rose used for?

Designed to encase any unsightly wiring, they also create a base for your lights, bring some added depth to a simple lampshade, or create a focal point that can complement a sparkling chandelier.

What types of ceiling rose are there?

There are a few things to keep in mind when selecting the best ceiling rose for you home. To begin with, size will affect the overall shape and aesthetic of your lighting so it's important to decide if you want a small and simple rose that will subtly complement your decor, or a substantial decorated piece that will act as a decorative focal point.

They are also available in a variety of materials to produce different finishes and effects. While many are made from plaster that also lets you paint them in your preferred colour, you could also opt for wood or even chrome if that would better suit your décor and taste.

Whatever you have in mind, we’ve put together a selection of the best ceiling roses below that would look great in any home.
