One of the most common decorating faux pas is to ignore the ceiling. We pay much attention to the walls and floor…but what about the ceiling? The ceiling is essentially the “fifth wall” in a room and deserves just as much attention as the other four walls. There’s nothing worse than a beautifully decorated room with a white sheetrocked ceiling.
Interesting ceiling treatements incorporate the use of applied moldings, decorative painting, woodwork, wallcovering or upholstery. Creating an interesting or dramatic ceiling often makes a room feel larger and the overall design more cohesive. Here are some examples of interesting ceiling treatments that make a big impact:
Wallcovering on ceilings masks a multitude of problems.
A non-directional pattern creates an element of surprise.
Can’t go wrong with a coiffered ceiling.
Decorative painting adds a focal point to this dome.
Hand-painted designs beautifully accentuate this tray ceiling.
