Choices in Ornamental Ceilings
& Fans
Click here for a list of suppliers of ornamental ceilings and fans
Most decorators are still
prisoners of one of the great cliches of the 20th century:
the white ceiling. Usually, ceilings end up as flat,
white-painted surfaces merely out of habit. In the 19th
century, however, designers felt that ceilings were the most
important surface because it can be seen without any
obstructions. As a result, the ceiling was often more highly
ornamented than the walls.
With today's interest in
historically inspired design, companies are again producing
the elements needed to create decorative ceilings. In the online list noted here, you'll find sources
for tin ceilings, ornamental plaster ceilings, coffered wood
ceilings, decorative polymer panels and art glass ceiling
domes -- plus ceiling fans that are both functional and
highly ornamental.
