In the world of lighting, what is a ceiling rose?
It’s a cable management box, a cover that hides the electrical connections of a ceiling light (hence the term “ceiling rose”) or a wall light (in this case, we refer to a “wall rose” or “wall-mounted rose”). But at Creative-Cables, we don’t stop at this definition of ceiling rose.
What is a ceiling rose for?
The ceiling rose is used to cover electrical connections, but that's not all. Above all, it is a decorative element that helps to make your lamp or chandelier even more unique. Explore our range of cable covers, which includes hundreds of ceiling roses in every shape and size, colour and finish, material and style. You can complete your lighting installation with components, accessories and fabric cables by Creative-Cables.
How do you fit a ceiling rose?
Just like with ceiling lights, the installation of a ceiling rose should be carried out to a professional standard by qualified personnel. However, if you’re skilled in this area and want to try it yourself, we’ve prepared some short tutorials explaining how to attach and connect a ceiling rose, featuring our most popular models.
How to choose the ceiling rose?
If you can’t choose between an XXL ceiling rose, a rectangular ceiling rose, a square ceiling rose, a modern ceiling rose, a vintage ceiling rose, or a white ceiling rose for your chandelier, we recommend asking yourself two important questions:
- How many light sources do I need in the space I want to illuminate: in other words, how many light bulbs will I need to install and, consequently, how many cables will I need? This question is not only aesthetic but also practical, as it concerns the intended use of the room and the lighting needs of those who will use it.
- Which materials am I favouring in this space? What is the stylistic effect I want to achieve? The answer to this question will mainly concern the material of the ceiling rose and will also have an impact on costs.
How to choose the ceiling rose?
Metal ceiling roses
Metal is a durable and easily matched material. The metal ceiling rose kits are a must in the Creative-Cables range, offered in a wide variety of surface finishes and drilling options. Particular attention is paid to the cable clamp, which transforms from a simple component into a refined decorative and stylistic element. Creative-Cables metal ceiling roses, which can be matched with metal lamp holders, can also be used on walls and include all the accessories needed to assemble a single or multiple pendant lamp.
Ceiling roses in wood
Wood is a natural material with endless potential: depending on its placement, it can evoke a wide variety of styles. Scandinavian, shabby, country, industrial, nautical: there’s hardly a style that can do without it.
The Creative-Cables wooden ceiling roses, in the natural version and therefore uncoloured, can be painted or stained as you wish to create a completely customised pendant or chandelier. They can also be used on the wall, are made in Italy, and can be coordinated with the wooden lampholders.
Silicone ceiling roses
Silicone is a durable, soft and pleasant-to-the-touch material: lightweight and virtually indestructible, it is highly appreciated by designers and interior decorators. Creative-Cables silicone ceiling roses are easy to install and are available in a wide range that also includes very pop and rather unusual shades, which you’ll also find in our cables. The coloured silicone ceiling roses by Creative-Cables can be matched with silicone lamp holders and can also be used on the wall.
Ceiling roses in porcelain
Porcelain is part of the large family of ceramic products and stands out for the presence of kaolin in the mixture, which gives it an extraordinarily white colour before decoration and further processing. The final effect, once fired at high temperature and glazed, is very shiny: for this reason, the range of porcelain ceiling roses includes both classic neutral shades and some much bolder colours! These porcelain cable covers for chandeliers can be matched with porcelain lampholders and can also be installed on the wall.
Ceramic ceiling roses
Ceramic, whose mixture consists mainly of clay, is a noble material that requires lengthy processing and slow firing. To enhance its appeal, Creative-Cables ceramic ceiling roses come in natural colours and decorations, perfect for country-style interiors. We haven’t forgotten colour lovers: we also offer a selection of glazed multi-hole ceiling roses!
The ceramic ceiling roses for chandeliers, which can be coordinated with ceramic lamp holders and also installed on walls, are made in Italy: each piece is unique and may show slight differences due to the manual production process. Much more than just a simple cable cover: a true object of desire.

Single-hole ceiling rose kits
Ceiling roses with a single hole are ideal for assembling DIY wall or ceiling lamps with a single light source. We invite you to discover the full range of single-outlet ceiling roses by Creative-Cables, including those for outdoor use that are resistant to rain and bad weather: you’ll be amazed by the variety of shapes and sizes, colours and finishes, materials and styles.
Single pendant lights aren’t necessarily chandeliers: with a bit of creativity and the right accessories, they can become bedside lamps, reading lights or even mood lighting. In this case, it makes sense to think in advance about which light bulbs you intend to use: as you’ll only have one, it’s important to choose it well!
Ceiling rose kits with side holes
Ceiling roses with side holes, also known as junction or connection boxes, allow cables to exit from the side as well (or only from the side): they are therefore ideal for creating multi-light fixtures with unusual shapes or for transforming a light point into a kind of joint or origin point for other light sources.
Unleash your creativity using textile cables and your favourite Creative-Cables accessories, and you can create your own DIY networks and branches on the wall or ceiling.
Multihole ceiling rose kit
Multi-hole ceiling roses are used to assemble DIY wall or ceiling lamps with multiple light sources, making them ideal for lighting large rooms. With your creativity and the right accessories, you can create grids, webs, branches and any lighting installation you can imagine. The multi-hole ceiling roses are available in a wide variety of shapes, colours, finishes and drilling options, and can be coordinated with light bulbs, components and textile cables by Creative-Cables. If the light bulbs are to be placed in specific points in the room, it’s important to decide where to put them and which fixing system to use to get them there.
XXL ceiling rose kit
The XXL ceiling roses are generously sized and are designed to create multi-pendant lamps for large spaces or situations where multiple light sources are needed.
With your creativity, textile cables and all the Creative-Cables branded accessories, you can create all sorts of DIY networks and branches on walls or ceilings. The perfect way to enhance an important room or complete a spiral staircase.
Rose-One System
Rose-One is the patented system by Creative-Cables that allows anyone to customise their own ceiling rose by choosing the number and position of the holes, as well as the cover decoration. Rose-One can be combined with cables, lamp holders, light bulbs and lampshades: each solution, tailored to your needs in every detail, is absolutely unique.
