For many a year, architectural accents have lent a distinctive flare to any building, whether it be a home or the White House.

Adding chandeliers can create an elegant feel to any home that adds lasting value as well as exquisite beauty. Having a ceiling medallion installed above a chandelier can add that extra special touch that will exude a unique style and refined charm.

Ceiling medallions vary in size, shape and style and can be installed in any room of the house, giving the room a personal look or focal point for added decorative accents. Ceiling medallions can also be one piece or two, to fit a particular chandelier or ceiling fan.

The large ceiling medallions are great for larger areas of the home, such as a living room, family room or library and should match the size of the room, so as not to over-represent or under-represent the room.

There are many large ceiling medallions that are ideal for large chandeliers or ceiling fans. The larger ceiling medallions come in sizes that go to 75 inches. The Symettria, the unique-styled shape ceiling medallion is rectangular, with arrow-shaped solid accents on the sides and at the front and back of the ceiling medallion.

The Artemis is elaborately designed with intricate swirls in a pattern going around the ceiling medallion, along with embellishments that fill in the rest of the ceiling medallion. The cross-styled medallion, with a diamond-shaped carving in the middle, gives a unique accent to any room.

The Suffolk comes in four pieces and is styled in a fan-like design, with a flower carved in the middle and the beautifully designed Whitney that would look perfect in an entryway, where the focal point of the house stands out.

Large ceiling medallions are made of durable polyurethane that looks like plaster and is virtually maintenance free. Whichever large ceiling medallion you choose, you’re sure to find the perfect medallion that will add superior value and stunning accents to your home.

At one time, ceiling medallions were used in many a home, accenting a chandelier, light fixture, or ceiling fan, while bringing more charm into a home’s rooms. Today, many people are rediscovering ceilings and making better use of this otherwise “empty” space. Ceiling medallions are being used in more homes today, bringing new dimensions into any rooms that they grace.

Ceiling medallions come in several different sizes. When is it appropriate to use large ceiling medallions? First, you must look at your fixtures. What sizes are they? A large ceiling medallion will not accent a small light fixture. It will overwhelm it. Next, look at the size of your rooms. If you are considering large ceiling medallions in small rooms, the large ceiling medallions might actually make small rooms look smaller. Finally, you should consider the height of the ceiling. Again, large ceiling medallions might make a room look small.

Large ceiling medallions are available in many different styles. There are ones that resemble antique medallions that were used in homes during the Victorian age. You can also find large ceiling medallions in contemporary designs. You might also want to mix and match the patterns of your ceiling medallions according the décor of your individual rooms.
