Thanks, Washingtonian Magazine! Ann Cochran wrote a terrific (that’s an unbiased opinion, ahem) article called, “High Style,” in which she talks about ceilings.
Spoiler alert: don’t ignore them!
This is the bossy color project that tickled the magazine’s fancy:
Putting color or pattern on the ceiling can be especially effective if you want to keep the walls neutral — ivory, in this case. It can also bring a high ceiling down, which can make a space more intimate.
Enjoy!
