Painting a ceiling rose can be quite daunting due to the challenging nature of working overhead and the potential for creating a mess in the surrounding area.

However, there is no need to be discouraged... with preparation and attention to detail, this task can be successfully accomplished by any do-it-yourself enthusiast.

Painting is recommended after the ceiling rose has been installed. We recommend covering the area under the rose with protective dust sheet or drop cloth.

This will safeguard your furniture and flooring from any accidental paint drips or splatters. Additionally, it is advisable to wear appropriate eye protection as a precautionary measure to shield your eyes from any stray drips.

When it comes to painting the ceiling rose, using a small paintbrush will allow you to navigate the intricate details and crevices effectively. Begin by working from the centre of the rose and gradually move outward, ensuring an even distribution of paint.

Depending on the desired coverage and finish, it may be necessary to apply two coats of paint. Remember to allow ample drying time between each coat to achieve optimal results.

By following these guidelines and taking the necessary steps, you can confidently tackle the task of painting your ceiling rose, transforming it into a stunning focal point within your space.

Should a Ceiling Rose Be the Same Colour as the Ceiling?

Both are effective! It’s fascinating to see the growing trend of people painting ceiling roses in bold and vibrant colors. On the other hand, keeping the ceiling rose in natural tones exudes a classic and elegant vibe in the room. Both options have their own charm and appeal.

A ceiling rose painted in a strong colour creates a visually striking focal point, adding a sense of uniqueness and personality to the interior. It’s all about personal preference and creating a room that reflects your style and taste.

What Paint Should You Use on a Ceiling Rose?

We highly recommend the application of two coats of emulsion (either mat or silk), ensuring a meticulous and refined finish. It is advisable to dilute the initial coat ever so slightly, allowing for a smooth and flawless result.

Farrow and Ball, a renowned purveyor of exceptional paint, offers an extraordinary range of colours to suit the discerning decorator. Among our personal favourites is the captivating Railings No. 31, a sophisticated shade of soft black with alluring blue undertones.

Sulking Room Pink is another popular choice... not to be seen as overtly pink, but rather a muted rose with enormous warmth, its powdery feel makes it incredibly soft and easy to use with complementary tones.

By embracing the artistry of colour selection, you can elevate your space and create a visually striking focal point that exudes uniqueness and personality.

Taking your time during the painting process will help achieve a smooth and consistent result. Remember, patience is key when it comes to creating a beautiful, polished look.
