In the world of lighting, what is a ceiling medallion?
A rosette is a casing that conceals the electrical connections of the ceiling light (referred to as a "ceiling rosette") or wall light (in this case, it is called a "wall rosette"). But at Creative-Cables, we do not limit ourselves to this definition of the rosette!
What is a rosette used for?
The ceiling rose is used to cover electrical connections, but that's not all! It is a decorative element that helps make your lamp or chandelier even more unique: discover our range of ceiling roses, which includes hundreds of shapes and sizes, colors and finishes, materials and styles. Complete your lighting setup with components, accessories, and textile cables from Creative-Cables.
How to install a ceiling medallion?
Installation of a rosette must be done according to best practices by qualified personnel. We have prepared short tutorials that explain how to mount and connect a rosette, featuring our most popular and best-selling models.
How to choose your rosette?
If you are unsure about choosing among an XXL rosette, a rectangular rosette, a square rosette, a modern rosette, a vintage rosette, or a white rosette, we suggest you ask yourself two important questions:
- How many light sources do I want to install in the room I need to light up: in other words, how many bulbs should I install and, consequently, how many cables should I use? This question is not only aesthetic but also practical, as it concerns the intended use for the room and the lighting needs of the person using it.
- What materials do I prefer in this environment? What style do I want to achieve? The answer to this question will mainly focus on the material of the rosette and will also have an impact on costs.
How to choose the material of the rosette?
Metal rosettes
Metal is a durable and easy-to-pair material. Metal ceiling rose kits, available in a wide variety of surface finishes and drilling options, are a must-have in our Creative-Cables range.
Special attention is paid to the cable clamp, which, starting from a simple component, turns into a valuable decorative and stylistic element.
Creative-Cables metal ceiling roses, which can be paired with metal lamp holders, can also be used on the wall and include all the accessories necessary for mounting single or multiple pendant lamps.
Silicone rosettes
Silicone is a durable, soft, and pleasant to the touch material: lightweight and virtually indestructible, it is highly appreciated by designers and interior decorators.
Creative-Cables silicone ceiling roses can be easily mounted without the need to drill holes in the ceiling and are available in a wide range that also includes very trendy and slightly unusual shades, which you can also find in our cables!
Colorful silicone ceiling roses from Creative-Cables can be paired with silicone lamp holders and can also be wall-mounted.
Porcelain rosettes
Porcelain is part of the large family of ceramic products and is distinguished by the presence of kaolin in the mixture, which gives it an extraordinarily white color before decoration and subsequent treatments.
Once fired at high temperatures and glazed, the final effect is very shiny. That's why our range of porcelain ceiling roses includes both classic neutral tones and much more intense colors!
The colored porcelain ceiling roses from Creative-Cables can be paired with porcelain lamp holders and can also be wall-mounted.
Wooden rosettes
Wood is a natural material with endless possibilities: depending on where it is used, it can create very different atmospheres.
Scandinavian, shabby chic, rustic, industrial, nautical: practically no style can do without it!
The wooden ceiling rosettes by Creative-Cables in their natural and therefore uncolored version, can be painted or stained at will to create a completely personalized pendant lamp.
They are made in Italy, and can be used on the wall by possibly combining them with wooden lamp holders.

Ceramic rosettes
Ceramic, whose mixture is mainly made of clay, is a noble material that requires long work and slow firing.
To enhance its charm, the ceramic ceiling roses from Creative-Cables feature natural colors and decorations that are perfect in rural environments. We haven't forgotten those who love color and we also offer a selection of enameled multi-hole ceiling roses.
Creative-Cables' ceramic ceiling roses for chandeliers can be paired with ceramic lamp holders and can also be installed on the wall.
Since it is a handmade product from Italy, each piece is unique and may have tiny differences due to the manual production process.

Single-hole rose kit
Single-hole ceiling roses are perfect for assembling lamps with a single light source to be installed by oneself on a wall or ceiling. We invite you to discover the full range of single-hole ceiling roses by Creative-Cables: you will be amazed by the variety of shapes and sizes, colors and finishes, materials, and styles!
Single suspension lamps are not necessarily chandeliers: with a bit of creativity and special accessories, they can become lampshades, reading lamps, and even ambient lights. In this case, it's wise to think ahead about the bulbs to use: since we'll only have one, it's important to choose it carefully!
Kit with rosettes with side holes
The side hole rosettes, also known as boxes or junctions, allow cables to exit from the side as well (or only from the side): they are therefore useful for building multiple lamps with unusual geometry or for transforming a light point into a kind of joint or origin point for other light sources. With your creativity, textile cables, and the right Creative-Cables accessories, you can create your own grid or branching pattern on the wall or ceiling.
Multi-hole rose kit
Multi-hole ceiling roses are used to assemble wall lights or ceiling lights with multiple light sources, making them ideal for lighting and furnishing large rooms. With your creativity and the right accessories, you can create grids, patterns, branches, and any kind of lighting installation you can imagine. Multi-hole ceiling roses are available in a wide variety of shapes, colors, finishes, and drilling options and can be combined with Creative-Cables bulbs, components, and textile cables.
If the bulbs need to be placed in specific locations in the room, it is important to determine where to place them and what fastening system to use to bring them to these specific locations.
XXL rose kit
XXL ceiling roses have large dimensions and are used to create multiple pendant lights for large rooms or for occasions that require several light sources. With your creativity, textile cables, and the right Creative-Cables accessories, you can create your own grid or branching pattern on the wall or ceiling.
Rose-One system
Rose-One is the patented system by Creative-Cables that allows you to customize your ceiling rose by defining the number of holes, their position, and the design of the cover. Rose-One can be combined with cables, lamp holders, bulbs, and lampshades: each solution is absolutely unique!
