How to choose your rosette?
Like moldings, cornices and other wall decorations, rosettes add style and dress up your interiors, giving extra cachet to your decor.
A ceiling rose is usually installed on the ceiling, but it can also be placed on the wall for a decorative effect or to highlight wall lighting.
Choosing the right size for your rosette
It's all a question of proportion; the larger your room, the more impressive your ceiling rose will be. It's worth noting that ceiling height must be taken into account; a height greater than 250 cm allows for a larger rose diameter. For a room with low ceilings, opt for a smaller, thinner rose to avoid overloading your ceiling.
If you're planning to install a pendant light, it's essential to consider the shape and size of the light fixture you're installing. For example, with a large light fixture, choose a large ceiling rose with simple patterns or a smaller one with rich patterns.
The Cimaises & Plus council:
For a room of around 5 m², choose a ceiling rose with a diameter of around 20 cm.
For a room of 10 m2, choose a rosette between 40 and 55 cm.
For rooms of 15 m2 or more, the diameter of your rosette can reach 80 cm.
/ ! \ The configuration of your room remains a key element in choosing your rose window so as not to overload the space.
The decoration of the rose windows
To be absolutely sure of your choice, you can position the ceiling rose by cutting a piece of cardboard to the diameter of the chosen model and attaching it to the ceiling with adhesive. Don't hesitate to try it several times!
For painting?

What color to choose?
It is possible and common to repaint the ceiling rose the same color as your ceiling so that it blends in better, but there are other possibilities such as creating a reminder with other elements of your room sofa, furniture or even a painting.
