Look Up! Statement Ceilings..
Ceilings are finally starting to get the attention that they deserve…!
Sometimes referred to as the 5th wall… ceilings have the ability to transform a room. Drawing the eye up, it is the ultimate sign of luxury (think Versailles and Grand Central Station). There is something about walking into a space, looking up and just being wowed.
A few things to consider:
- Paint– easiest and really packs a punch..depending on your color choice, the ceiling can appear to ‘drop’ (can be good or bad)…with a glossy or lacquered finish you can achieve reflections that fool the eye into believing the ceiling is twice as high adding lots of drama…or continue color of walls on to the ceiling to create a jewelry box feeling.
- Wallpaper or Fabric = romance…amazing for a bedroom
- Mural/Stencil– consider a beautifully subtle ombre effect, or medallion stencil around a chandelier
- Wood– planks, beams all equal warmth and texture
- Architectural elements– plaster medallions and moldings add depth and interest
- Metals– can go from sleek modern to a vintage/historic look
- Grass cloth– chic island feel
- Aged mirror
- Lighting
The possibilities are endless..statement ceilings make your room feel complete and considered.
