Introduction
Melbourne’s older homes often feature decorative plaster ceiling roses — beautiful architectural details that deserve careful electrical work.
In this Richmond property, we installed:
• A layered pendant light
• A modern three-blade ceiling fan with integrated LED
Both were fitted cleanly through existing decorative ceiling roses, preserving the character of the home while upgrading comfort and functionality.
Installing a Pendant Light on a Decorative Ceiling Rose
Decorative plaster ceiling roses require precision when installing lighting fixtures.
For this installation, we:
-
Carefully centred the fitting
-
Ensured secure mounting without damaging plaster
-
Maintained symmetry with the existing moulding
-
Installed energy-efficient lighting
The result is a clean, balanced pendant that complements the heritage detail.
Installing a Ceiling Fan on a Plaster Ceiling Rose
Ceiling fans on decorative plaster require proper structural support and accurate alignment.
This installation included:
-
Structural support within ceiling cavity
-
Correct mounting bracket installation
-
Balanced fan alignment
-
Integrated LED connection
-
Compliance and safety certification
The finished result delivers modern airflow and lighting while retaining the home’s original architectural detail.
Why Proper Installation Matters in Older Homes
Character homes require experience.
Incorrect installation can:
-
Crack decorative plaster
-
Leave visible misalignment
-
Cause vibration or imbalance
-
Create electrical safety risks
We take extra care to ensure all fittings are secure, balanced and compliant.
