I often see “no crown moulding” as an advantage in decorative painting.
The ceiling is the “fifth wall” and is usually ignored.
Here are a few examples:
This little girls nursery has a lot of funky angles in the room, the “canopy”, created by the scrolly border enabled the funky lines to be incorporated into the design. The light colors keep it soothing and calm.
I have been restructuring my office space and it has forced me to go through several PILES of old magazine “inspiration” books. I have this weird passion for painted, decorated, stained & patterned floors! It must have come with me from another life. I thought I would scan a few in a share the ideas. I wish I could give proper credit, but these are so old, and I only had the pages, not even the whole magazine.
ENJOY!
The different shades of stain and the geometrical structure in this entrance hall is quite stunning, it can also go with either traditional or modern furnishings.
I have always loved the way stripes, if carried onto a ceiling, can created a “tented” effect.
I think I like how the ceiling encompasses the WHOLE room and makes the atmosphere so much more inviting.
Here are a few neat examples:
If the wall space is “up” and closer to the ceiling this is a nice way to unify the walls and the ceiling,
rather than chopping them up with different colors.
