Large ceiling rose required

[Old Greg]

With the imminent arrival of YG II, I foolishly agreed to replace the spotlight in YG II's bedroom-to-be with a simple ceiling rose and pendant set. This will mean that we can hang an adorable lampshade.

However, when the spotlight was removed, there was a hole in the ceiling that is too large for the rose from the rose and pendant set to cover. Ideally I would like a rose and pendant set with a larger diameter rose (150 mm) but 84 mm seems to be a standard. An alternative would be to get a decorative plastic or plaster ceiling rose. These are of sufficient size but are too decorative for our tastes. We just want something plain.

We have discounted getting in a professional, and I obviously don't actually want to repair the ceiling. The best plan we currently have is to use a rose like this: R 07 Ceiling Rose - Large and Small Decorative Plaster Ceiling Roses - House Martin Online although we would like something plainer.

Helpful ideas most welcome.

Thanks

To my eye, that is pretty plain as it is ! Almost mind-numbingly, boringly, plain. I can't think how it could be made even plainer to be honest.

For £16, there are more important things in life to worry about, surely ?

"You know what dear, you were right, getting rid of that horrible spotlight was a great idea. I've found this modern light, which cover the huge bloody hole in the ceiling perfectly."

Not if you're a 9 month pregnant lady, apparently. What I really want is a bigger version of this: GET Lamp Holder Ceiling Rose from Homebase.co.uk

Find a thin bit of round white plastic (lid from something in the kitchen) and glue it to the ceiling and then fix the std ceiling rose over it.

She'll never notice. Honest, it's amazing the bodges you can get away with.

Works with software dev too.

In terms of convering up the dirty great hole is concerned, that's the plan. 'Bodge' is my middle name. I do need to get the finish acceptable.

YMMV ofc
