Motifs are the flavour of the season, not only on clothes, but also in your home interiors. If you want your ceiling to stand out, try and add motifs to it and you will not regret it. For added effect, add golden trims on all the edges and see how royal your interiors feel, almost instantly. Anyone who looks up is bound to be mesmerised!

Ceiling Designs #3: Single Colour

And you thought you can create accent walls only on one of the four sides of the room? Well, think again! Imagine a room with muted or white walls on all four sides and a statement colour on the ceiling. This is not very common and is sure to turn heads when used in your living room.
