Ceilings are often overlooked and neglected but they can make a big design statement when an interesting pattern is applied. I love this intricate pattern added to the ceiling in this room by Martin Lawrence-Bullard. It's such a nice contrast in scale to the drapery pattern and repeats that detail in the carved table and chairs.

This makes me want to sing! Bold and beautiful.

The playful pattern marries the color palette so well and brings the bright color up to the top part of the space.

Jill Zarin's daughter's room has a lovely, feminine pattern on the ceiling. This room would be so plain and ordinary without it.

Lovely, tailored, thoughtful, complete.

I love how the pattern is used here. Lively, colorful, and vibrant. This room would be just another white kitchen without it.

Such a striking image and one of my favorites! This outdoor space is all about that gorgeous pattern.
Carla, that first kitchen, ahhh, simply gorgeous!

I love, love patterns on ceilings and these are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYou are quite right that ceilings are are one of the last things we thing about when decorating. Love the kitchen in the second photograph!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! The blue kitchen is to die for! Enjoy the lovely week ahead, Kellie xx
ReplyDeleteI think ceilings are the last great unexplored frontier of decor...they seemed to be overlooked yet so much can be done to bring them back into the room...and be something other than an after thought..love these examples that you use..all very tasteful and illustrate the concept very nicely...I especially love the last pic by Robin Bell...

Stunning...but the idea of the intricate painting...upside-down...gives me a headache!
ReplyDeleteThe one by Gideon Mendelson was done on a canvas and then applied to the ceiling. Stencils help!
ReplyDeleteI know plenty of artists/finishers who would love some projects like this.
Absolutely marvelous examples of what a huge impact pattern on ceilings can make. Carla I enjoyed each photo as if I were eating a delicious bowl of Ben & Jerry's! I papered a bathroom ceiling once in a hold farm house with tall ceilings and gorgeous moldings. I absolutely loved it when I was done. I hope you have a great week Carla and a happy 4th of July weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting design idea,
ReplyDeletebut I don't think I can have a ceiling with too much intricate pattern especially on my bedroom. I might not be able to sleep looking at it:)
But I love the blue and white one on the fourth pic, maybe for the guest room.
My favorite is also Jill Zarin's daughter's blue room - it's almost like the chandelier is throwing its shadows on the ceiling.
ReplyDeleteWow, what an impact! The outdoor space is our favorite. Hope your having a great week.
ReplyDeleteLove the green gingham ceiling! Such a cute touch!
