There has always been a great demand of ceiling medallion which refers to a unique decorative molding highlighting the middle of the ceiling. Mostly this kind of ceiling medallion is used in those rooms where there is already a special crown molding done. While there is a huge variety in terms of style and design of this ceiling medallion, certain things should be considered at the time of selecting one for your house.

The size of the medallion is a great factor. Quite often these ceiling medallions are used with a hanging light such as a chandelier etc. In this case, the medallion should be bigger or smaller than the outer diameter of that light fixture otherwise it will not have that desired effect. The canopy size is another important fact which needs to be remembered. The ceiling medallion is ideal for those rooms with high ceiling. If you have a very tall ceiling, you can decorate it with a wonderful large medallion in the centre. Same thing goes for the size of the room. If the room has a huge length, even then the ceiling medallion should be proportional to the width of the room and not the length.

Sometimes, the medallion size depends on the type of room on which it is going to be fixed. If you are considering a ceiling medallion for your living room, drawing room or big entry room etc, then you can go for a larger than the light fixture medallion. But if it is a small room like the bathroom or so, it has to be a smaller medallion. There are many beautiful ceiling medallions available to choose from.
