Ceiling Rose Goes?

2 years ago

I’m stuck… We’re doing a house reno on our 1930s Bungalow and our decor will be a mix of modern and industrial. My main concern is for the (interconnected) living and dining rooms.

We have decided against coving… Will a plaster ceiling rose look odd if I have one?

PLEASE HELP

No coving, no ceiling rose

No coving, yes to a ceiling rose

Is there a reason why you are getting rid of the coving? I do think a ceiling rose is odd without coving. We are in a 30s bungalow, kept coving in hall, living room, downstairs bedrooms but no coving in the new dining/kitchen extension.

We have ceiling roses in our bedroom but no coving and it looks fine, downstairs all rooms have coving and ceiling roses, we are building a new kitchen living extension where there will be no coving or ceiling roses

Adding width BEHIND THE BED - with a headboard (which doesn't have to be a "headboard"; it could be fabric, collection of mirrors, collection of pictures, a farm gate!, small chairs or stools) across the entire width. Matching bedside tables/bookcases/chests/ with LAMPS - useful storage for extra books, extra bedding, etc. CURTAINS always warm up a room. People will always feel colder away from home - provide an extra blanket or duvet to add to the bed. I notice there is no WARDROBE. Not really necessary for overnight guests (provide hooks on the back of the door) but useful for storing your out-of-season coats, etc. There is plenty of room behind the door. Buy one on eBay and paint it to suit your colour scheme.

It might be possible for you to make your bedroom taller by building into the roof void- measure how much space you have- you may be able to fit two floors in.

To me it's a toss between storage and work surface. My inclination would be to use it to shelve out, but it's not wide enough to step into and have shelves. If you lose a press to allow for this are really only gaining the top shelves. You would also have to move your sink. Btw I would swop out your DW and WM anyhow as having the dw beside the sink for rinsing is a must!

Personally I think you can make anything work, why not :) I've done a tin tile as a ceiling rose looks fab. Maybe go for a more modern looking ceiling rose rather than ornate one if no coving? I love when the ceiling is painted a colour, along with the ceiling rose! Good luck with your project x

@ Ellie, the preexisting coving was in a terrible state and only in one of those interconnected rooms. There also isn’t any anywhere else in the house. I think I’m worried about the coving making the ceilings feel lower

I will indeed- I think it’ll be more in keeping with the decor

And thank you- we’re hopefully about a month away from the finish line!
