Plaster Ceiling Roses in Fulham
Plaster ceiling roses are a type of decorative moulding typically found in the middle of a room and often with a light fixture hanging from the centre. They became immensely popular in Edwardian, Georgian and Victorian times, but lost favour due to the onslaught of modernism. Today, however, plaster ceiling roses are making a comeback, and no one does ceiling rose creation or restoration like the team at Keaneys Interior & Exterior Moulding.
The Benefits of Plaster Ceiling Roses in Fulham
Ceiling roses are intended to create a focal point in a room. In that sense, they represent the culmination of decorative plaster moulding, where all roads lead to the ceiling rose. Ceiling rose designs can be incredibly simple or quite complex and ornate, depending on the architectural context they inhabit. Geometric shapes, leaves, flowers, animals and more are common motifs in ceiling roses, and it's this variety that homeowners tend to treasure.
If you are planning to have a new ceiling rose installed in your Fulham home, you'll want to keep the following considerations up front:
Collapsible content
Ceiling height and room size
Large, decorative ceiling roses work best in homes with high ceilings and plenty of surrounding space that doesn't distract from their function and beauty.
The architectural style of your home
You won't want to install a minimalist plaster ceiling rose in a home that is aggressively traditional. The clash of styles will be too much. Instead, always consider the style of the home in general.
Is there a light involved?
Ceiling roses often frame large chandeliers or other types of light. The two elements - chandelier and rose - must dovetail aesthetically.
Maintenance
Today's plaster ceiling roses are typically lightweight and easy to clean and paint. Make sure the maintenance on any
rose you plan to install is kept to a minimum.
Decorative balance
The ceiling rose should activate the style of the room without dominating it or being overwhelmed by it.
Ceiling roses also do a great job of concealing wires and imperfections around any chandelier. It's one of their most important but discreet functions, and most people will never know there is anything being concealed. A decorative ceiling rose may also give your home a nice bump in valuation.
