Ceiling medallions are circular, oval or square relief embellishments most often found in the center of a room to surround the canopy of a hanging light fixture. When round and petal-like, medallions are also referred to as a rosette.

From our experience, purchasers struggle most with determining the size of their ceiling medallion. Style is very much a matter of taste (unless you are matching existing ornament), ranging from a simple circular relief to ornate designs based upon classical elements such as acanthus leaves, egg and dart and Greek Key.
