Looking Up

Decorative ceilings are back, you can call it “the fifth wall”. Eileen Smith Dallabrida with Painting and Wallcovering Contractor (PWC) has accommodated Five Star Painting with great insight on decorative ceilings. Many people living in contemporary homes are now wanting to get a bit of personality, so ceiling decorations, along with complementary wall trims, are on their way back. A decorated ceiling can beat out any painting project, making it an eye-popping room.

Art filled ceilings are becoming more popular whether they are finished as a stand-alone project or part of a larger job. The market in this field is increasing for all manner of dramatic and subtle finishes high above the traditional wall space. The talented painters behind these projects are busier than ever.

Options for ceilings cover the spectrum of decorative techniques. These include faux painting, wood graining, stenciling, plaster work, gold leafing, murals on canvas, and any other technique that springs from an artist’s inspiration. Mixing a variety of textures and sheens boosts the sophistication level of a room.

When considering a ceiling project, photos are worth a thousand words. Viewing before-and-after shots are very effective in showing the difference a well-appointed ceiling can make. Also, seeing past projects in person can be especially helpful. Preparing overhead surfaces can be a lot heftier compared to prepping and painting walls. Most likely, the primary cost will be labor.

Decorating your ceilings can be more than just a paint job, with classic decorative pieces adding character and charm to your home’s interior. Please feel free to visit the PWC website.
