A ceiling rose is an ornamental item that adds an elegant touch to any room and helps conceal the electrical wiring associated with a pendant light. The installation process is relatively simple and can be accomplished in 12 easy steps. Follow our guide below to put up a ceiling rose in your home.

1. Gather materials: Purchase a ceiling rose that matches the style of your room and gather the necessary tools, including a drill, screwdriver, spirit level, rawlplugs, screws, and appropriate lighting components.

2. Turn off the power: Ensure your safety by turning off all electricity at the main circuit breaker before beginning the installation process.

3. Remove the old light fixture: If there is an existing light fixture, carefully remove it from the ceiling, disconnecting any wiring and setting it aside.

4. Prepare the ceiling rose: Check for any excess debris or dust on the back of your ceiling rose and clean it if necessary. This will ensure a flush fit against the ceiling.

5. Mark holes for drilling: Hold your ceiling rose against the ceiling in your desired location. Use a pencil to mark spots where you will need to drill holes for mounting screws or hooks.

6. Drill pilot holes: Using an appropriately-sized drill bit, create pilot holes for mounting screws or hooks in the locations you have marked.

7. Insert rawlplugs: If necessary, insert rawlplugs into each of your drilled holes so that they fit securely.

8. Attach lighting component: Depending on your pendant light configuration, you may need to attach wiring or other components to your ceiling rose before installing it on the ceiling.

9. Securely mount ceiling rose: Aligning it with your pilot holes, use screws and/or hooks to firmly attach the ceiling rose to the ceiling.

10. Level and adjust: Use a spirit level to ensure that your ceiling rose is evenly installed. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.

11. Connect wiring: Once your ceiling rose is securely in place, connect the appropriate wiring (following local electrical codes) for your pendant light to be operational. Be cautious and double-check your connections before proceeding.

12. Turn power back on: With everything securely in place, restore power at the main circuit breaker and test your ceiling rose installation by turning on the light.
