One of the easiest ways to liven up a ho-hum ceiling is with the simple addition of a ceiling medallion, an architectural detail that draws the eye to a chandelier or fan, especially in a dining room or foyer. The medallion, usually made of urethane, has two interlocking pieces that are easily installed around the base of a light fixture or fan, so you don’t have to remove anything. It is fastened to the ceiling with construction adhesive and trim head screws in precut holes.
There’s a variety of designs, from the classic and traditional to more intricate; and they’re available in a multitude of shapes and sizes. You can paint a medallion before or after installing it to make it look like a natural part of the architectural details of the room.
