A ceiling medallion adds a decorative touch to the oft-neglected ceiling of your room by encircling the area around the meeting point of the ceiling and lighting fixture. These large disk-shaped plaques should have a proportionate size to your room and the lighting fixture beneath. Elegant or simple, choose your ceiling medallion size best suited for your space. Use some basic guidelines to steer you toward choosing the best ceiling medallion for your room.
Instructions
1. Measure the length and width of your room in feet.
2. Multiply the length and width together and divide the answer by "7" to determine a proportionate ceiling medallion diameter size in inches.
For a 10-by-14 foot room, for example, your calculation would be:
10 feet x 14 feet = 140 square feet
