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 and the prices are very good value."
Alongside this, Sheldon owns a Victorian home and wanted to reintroduce period-inspired features that would complement his neutral haven. Our website makes this process simple, customers can filter by period style and browse our carefully curated Victorian ceiling rose designs, making it easy to find pieces that feel authentic to their home’s heritage.
Can you describe the style and period of your property?
"I have a Victorian home in Cheshire I love neutral colour palettes, decorative mouldings and panelling."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 our ceiling rose?
"Have you seen it?"
Before this renovation, Sheldon had spotlights, but he’s now upgraded to this Victorian acanthus-leaf ceiling rose, a perfect fit for the dining room and a beautiful complement to the new chandelier.
"It’s perfection! I am obsessed."
Our ceiling roses are handmade out of the finest gypsum plaster which are authentic to the Victorian era.
Who installed your rose?
Plaster Ceiling Roses were very helpful and were able to recommend a coving fitter who works in my area. This gave me peace of mind as they were professionals who were very experienced in fitting gypsum coving. Installation was quick and efficient.
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.
Products Used:

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.
