THE "FIFTH WALL" - THE CEILING

9/29/2015

5 Comments

 
Picture
THE BEGINNINGS OF INTERIOR DESIGN SHOW US CAVE DWELLERS WHO PAINTED THEIR WALLS AS WELL AS THEIR CEILINGS.  WHEN WE VIEW THOSE SPACES, WE ARE AWE STRUCK BY THE BEAUTY.  CEILINGS THROUGHOUT HISTORY FROM THE HUMBLE HOME TO THE GRAND PUBLIC SPACES WERE THOUGHT OF THE FIFTH WALL TO BE DECORATED. 

TODAY WE ARE STUCK WITH A FLAT WHITE PAINTED CEILING IN MOST HOMES, AND WE ARE CONTENTED WITH THIS STAGE OF DECORATION.  HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH CEILINGS TO MAKE A HUGE IMPACT ON THE INTERIOR SPACE.  THE "FIFTH WALL" IN YOUR HOME IS WAITING FOR YOUR IMAGINATION TO AWAKEN.

GO FOR THE REFECTION - PAINT THE CEILING A GLOSSY COLOR.  THE GLOSS AND THE GLOW OF THE CEILING WILL REFLECT THE LIGHT IN THE ROOM AND EXPAND THE ROOM DIMENSIONS, GIVING IT THE FEELING OF A LARGER AND LIMITLESS ROOM.  THIS TREATMENT WILL WORK ESPECIALLY WELL IN A ROOM WITH NOT MUCH NATURAL LIGHT.

GET BEAUTIFUL, MOOD-BOOSTING LIGHT WHERE YOU NEED IT!

Skylights can create a warm glow.  Long, slender skylights positioned along a wall cast a warm, indirect light that doesn't overwhelm the space.

Skylights can bring sunshine to a narrow urban home.

Skylights can help reduce energy bills. 


Skylights can help grow healthier houseplants.

Skylights can boost your mood. 
Natural light has an undeniably cherry effect!

Bring the soothing colors of the sea
into your home.

These soft greenish-blue hues work especially well for bedrooms and bathrooms where they offer a calming sea-inspired vibe.

Using color in these niches along the hallway immediately added interest....
an easy fix to a ho-hum entry.

ART HUNG TOO HIGH

6/16/2015

Instead, art should be hung at eye level, (unless you are very tall) although small pieces can be hung lower.  As a guideline, when art is hung above furniture, make sure that it is 8 inches above the top of the piece. It should look like they sit together.

Have fun hanging your art!

Perk up the daily climb on your drab basement stairs with risers painted in a profusion of colors. 

Use leftover paints or sample-size cans to color each riser in a different brilliant shade.

Have fun with color!

THE POWER OF COLOR

Nothing like color gives a drab room new life.  The color on the walls can make or break a room, and color gives a dull and dated space personality.  If you surround yourself with the colors that attract you instinctively, you will be showing your true self and you will be more comfortable in your environment.

THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR FOYER

How important is your Foyer?  Way important!
This is the first glimpse your guests have of your home.  You want it to be warm and welcoming and maybe light and fun as this transitional style Foyer is. 

If you are selling your home, you want to be sure that the Foyer is all of these things.  Buyers might not even want to go any further, if the Foyer turns them off!

Have fun sprucing up your Foyer.  You will be rewarded by receiving many compliments!
