More than once I have been called in to help when a beautiful room is let down by a plain white ceiling – which was the case with this recent project!
My clients had partnered with designer Donna Hochman of Distinctive Interiors to create a fabulous dining room – complete with striking wallpaper, a beautiful area rug and a very cool chandelier. To complete this amazing space, Donna wanted to do something to address the ceiling – which is when she called us in!
Through collaboration with Donna and my colleague Joan, the decision was made to use a cross-hatching technique with gold paint – which creates a shimmering linen-look. The goal was to bring more warmth to the room, tie in with the gold of the wallpaper and make the ceiling an integral part of the overall impact of the room.
With the decision made – we were on to painting the ceiling! Using a laser level, a steady hand and a lot of patience, we were able to create this look by dragging the gold glaze first in one direction and then in the opposite direction for each of the coffered sections.
The homeowner and Donna were thrilled with the end result!
Enjoy!!
