Make your 'fifth wall' something to look up to with these gorgeous designs
Instantly add a splash of character to a room with a decorative ceiling rose
Traditionally they were used in the centre of ceilings to provide a neat, attractive finishing to light fittings, as a way to obscure any fixtures, fittings or hide any ugly wiring.
These days, however, they act as a much sought-after ‘fifth wall’ focal point. But even if your home is without this original feature, new ones can look convincingly period and are surprisingly affordable and easy to install, too.
Whether you choose to use them to frame a pendant light, or create a solo feature out of them, ceiling roses can add understated elegance to your space.
But you’re not limited to classic styles. There are plenty modern adaptations too, to suit more contemporary pendants.
Here are six of our favourite ceiling roses to start your search.
