Creative Alternatives to White Boring Ceilings
- Nov 1, 2014
How many of you associate "white and boring" whenever you hear the word "ceiling"?
How many of you actually spent time exploring ways to jazz up your ceiling whilst sketching out the scope of your renovation with your renovation professionals?
Well, it is hardly surprising that most homeowners only spent time on doing up the four walls and neglected this fifth wall since many aren't aware that many interesting yet appealing design details can be assimilated into the ceiling. From rustic to modern, Scandinavian charmer to ultra chic modern, here are some creative ideas to get you started!
