A mediocre room can be made exquisite with the addition of a ceiling medallion. They are especially appealing when installed around an existing ceiling fan. As with any medallions, ceiling fan medallions are easy to install and nicely complement other accents such as columns, corbels and crown moldings.
Any room in the home that has a ceiling fan can be completed with the perfect style of medallion. It can be stained or painted to match the décor of the room. The look can range from simple, featuring geometric lines and shapes, to highly ornate floral trims. Some are made to look like a giant flower.
The designs on these ornaments are borrowed from the early Greek and Roman artists. Influences from later culture such as the Byzantine, Renaissance, Colonial and Classical Revival have also played a part in the final product. Most have a circular shape, but other shapes are available.
Before choosing a ceiling medallion, size must be taken into consideration. Sizes range from six inches to over seventy-four inches diameter. The medallion should never be the same sizes as the ceiling fan, but you can choose from a smaller one or larger. With an ample size room, the large ceiling medallion is the most agreeable.
For ease of installing, lightweight high-density polyurethane foam is the best medallion material. Not only is this less expensive to ship, easy to install, it is chip and crack resistant. When treated correctly, this durable polyurethane product can be used for interior and exterior applications.
Overall, the ceiling fan medallion may be one of the easiest ways to add a decorative touch to any room or porch with a ceiling fan. Whether you need to completely change the appearance of your existing fan, or are just looking to bring out its character, a ceiling fan medallion can do the trick.
