Background:

Sheldon is a passionate DIY enthusiast who documents his home renovation journey online, sharing each stage of transforming his Victorian property. Known for his love of warm neutrals and timeless design, he blends traditional architectural details(like panelling, coving, and ceiling roses) with a modern, refined aesthetic. His approach celebrates the character of older homes while ensuring each space feels fresh, inviting, and thoughtfully curated.

A Closer Look at Sheldon’s Journey:


What inspired your home renovation project, and what vision did you have in mind for the space?

I love traditional warm inviting styles and I feel that this ceiling rose is perfect to create that! I want my space to be timeless and also feel like this ceiling rose has always been here.

What made you choose plaster ceiling roses for your property, and how have our products enhanced the overall look?

I have shopped with Plaster Ceiling Rose for years. I have purchased all my coving and other roses from them so it was a no brainer for me. The quality is impeccable.

Can you describe the style and period of your property?

I have a Victorian home so this ceiling rose fits perfectly.


Were there any particular challenges you faced during the renovation process, and how did you overcome them?

No challenges as such but with my focus on interior design sometimes things come up that may not look right but I love problem solving and will spend lots of time coming up with solutions.

What made you choose said product?

Have you seen it? It’s perfection! I am obsessed.

Before & After:

Sheldon’s living room has been completely transformed from a plain, understated ceiling (that had spot lights)  to a statement focal point chandelier that has much more of a classy appeal, suited for the space. The addition of the ornate ceiling rose complements his chandelier perfectly, bringing a sense of balance and craftsmanship to the space. It’s a subtle detail that elevates the entire room while remaining true to the Victorian character of the home.

Final Thoughts:

Sheldon has completely transformed his room by swapping out the spotlights for a Victorian-inspired ceiling rose paired with a stunning chandelier. It looks as though the ceiling rose has always belonged there.
