Background:
When Kayleigh moved into her Edwardian property in East Ayrshire, it had lost much of its original character. The previous owners had stripped away the historical features, leaving behind a blank slate. For Kayleigh, this was an opportunity to carefully reintroduce Edwardian charm, piece by piece. One of the standout additions was a beautifully detailed plaster ceiling rose, which helped anchor her living space and return a sense of the home’s original identity.
A closer look at kayleigh’s journey...
What inspired your home renovation project, and what vision did you have in mind for the space?
I’ve always had a love for old homes and living in Scotland we’re lucky to be surrounded by so much history which is showcased in our homes. Taking a space that was once neglected it and bringing it back to life has always been a dream of mine and I can’t believe I’m now doing it
My home was built in an Edwardian era however the previous owner removed any nod to the Edwardians (booo) so it was my vision to add that feel back into the property while making a house a home.
What made you choose plaster ceiling roses for your property, and how have our products enhanced the overall look?
Quality quality quality! The internet is flooded with imitations and they don’t look like they belong in the homes they go to live in. With PCR you can tell each item is made with care and attention. The ceiling rose form PCR gives my lounge class and style.
Can you describe the style and period of your property?
Edwardian property with a traditional charm, while still being a calm and relaxing space for me and my family.
Were there any particular challenges you faced during the renovation process, and how did you overcome them?
Time. I am quite frankly time blind but I do put that down to being so passionate about this project. I want to pour all of my time and energy into every room all at once and that’s not realistic. I’ve learned to slow down and enjoy each room for what it is.
What made you choose said product?
I made some mock ups (badly) of how various ceiling roses would look in the space against our traditional fireplace and wall moulding, and the minute I mocked up with our ceiling rose - I was sold.
Who installed your rose / coving?
My partner Stuart - it’s not his first rodeo as we had a period home prior to this, however he also used the guidance on PCR website. I’d reccomend everyone does this, pro or not.. it’s so helpful?
Before & After:
The lounge has gone from a neutral shell with few period features to a space full of warmth and historical charm. The ornate ceiling rose is now a focal point, sitting beautifully alongside traditional fireplace details and mouldings that suit the home’s age and character.
Products Used:
1X Ornate Floral Plaster Ceiling Rose 770mm dia. LRP060
Final Thoughts:
By layering back in traditional details one step at a time, Kayleigh is giving her Edwardian home the thoughtful restoration it deserves. Her passion for period design and careful attention to detail shine through, starting from the ceiling down.
