THE 5TH WALL

The ceiling is a surface of a room that receives the least amount of light from the outside (even if it has small windows) and generally gets treated to white paint. This also makes the ceilings appear high and the room feel bright. But this should not always be taken literally and can be varied with a variety of colors and textures, just like on the walls. With a dark ceiling and light walls you will create the opposite effect described above, and “lower the ceiling” or simply add warmth to a very cool room.
But as you will see below its all about making it work for you in your home.
Sometimes rules are meant to be broken.

The photo above shows just the cornices painted, but if your game.

You could paint the ceiling

I've got you thinking now, haven't I.

Decorating With.......

Vintage Luggage

Because there are no hard and fast rules on objects that can be used for decorating its more about how you group them and what you group together.....

...and like I have said before, choose and item and just be confident that your instincts are right when you stand back and look at your items. They will tell you if something isn't quite right.

With this in mind, take on the "less is more" effect....and layer and re configure until it does feel right.

Look at your collection of items and spot the odd one out and don't be afraid to give it a holiday from your decorating collection....

Think of it like this, your most favourite tweed jacket is so timeless and in a great colour but the Chinese collar and long length just are not whats "in"...you always get compliments but you have been wearing it for the last 2 winters.....and now you feel it just time for a new one with an up to date shape.....You don't have to give it away. You just need to put it back in the cupboard for a bit of a holiday.....
