Buying Guides

Decorative plasterwork is a timeless way to enhance the beauty and character of any interior space. Whether you're restoring a period property or adding charm to a modern home, the right plaster coving and ceiling roses can complement your décor and elevate architectural features.

At Plaster Coving Ltd, we offer an extensive range of coving and ceiling roses in a variety of styles and sizes, designed to suit different homes and tastes. Here’s what to consider when choosing the right plaster features for your space.

1. Match Style to Your Interior

Decorative plasterwork should reflect and enhance your property's existing style. Whether you're after something ornate or understated, the design you choose can bring out the best in your room’s architecture.

  • Georgian & Regency: Clean, symmetrical lines and elegant curves. Perfect for formal rooms and traditional interiors.

  • Victorian: More detailed and ornate, often featuring floral or classical motifs. Ideal for adding drama and heritage to a space.

  • Edwardian & Art Deco: Simpler, more geometric designs that still carry a strong presence. Great for transitional or eclectic interiors.

  • Modern/Minimalist: Sleek profiles with smooth lines that add subtle sophistication without overwhelming a space.

2. Consider Room Size and Ceiling Height

One of the most important factors when selecting plaster coving or ceiling roses is proportion. The size of the decorative plaster should feel balanced within the space — not too overpowering, and not too subtle.

  • High Ceilings & Large Rooms: Opt for deeper, more elaborate coving profiles and larger ceiling roses. These help to visually fill the vertical space and add grandeur.

  • Low Ceilings & Smaller Rooms: Choose slimmer, more refined mouldings. These maintain elegance without making the room feel cramped.

A mismatch in scale can distract from the beauty of the design, so it’s worth measuring carefully and asking for guidance if you’re unsure.

3. Complement Architectural Features

Decorative plasterwork isn’t just for show — it enhances architectural flow and can tie together elements like skirting boards, door surrounds, and ceiling details. When chosen thoughtfully, plaster coving can create a seamless transition between walls and ceilings, while ceiling roses can provide a striking focal point for chandeliers or pendant lighting.
