When decorating a room it is easy to envision how the walls, floors and furniture will all coalesce into each other in perfect harmony. But what about the ceiling? It tends to be forgotten. In fact, we tend to think that the ceiling is not an important aspect of the decor, when in fact it can change the ambience completely, making a room go from drab to fab.

Did you know molding and trim have been used in ceiling decor for centuries in classical elegant buildings? Imagine a French palace without gorgeous ceilings. Wouldn’t be the same, would it? Now a days ceiling molding can make a room look vintage or modern, depending on what you are looking for. With multiple possibilities, go ahead and take the risk. Use contrasting colors to highlight the beauty of a room. With geometrical shapes or simple linear forms create a symmetrical masterpiece that will transform your house into a home.

Here are some inspirational pictures.
