Ceiling medallions
can be classic additions to rooms in any home. Usually used to
accentuate chandeliers, ceiling fans, or other light fixtures,
ceiling medallions can be elegant accents that create a distinctive
ambiance in the rooms of your home while adding to your house’s
resale value. Ceiling medallions come in many styles to beautify
your home.
What kind of feel are you trying to create in your home? There are ceiling medallions
styled to fit in any house. If you are decorating the interior of your home to
resemble the Victorian age, you can purchase medallions that are replicas of
ornate ceiling medallions in Victorian houses. You can find ceiling medallions
that will fit in with Art Deco or Art Nouveau décor. You can mix styles
to give your home a more eclectic feeling. You can simply set off your fixtures
with ceiling medallions that are “plain” or make your fixtures the
focal point of a room by using highly decorated medallions.
When you are considering ceiling medallions, it is important to know the dimensions
of your room and the size of the fixtures that your ceiling medallions will compliment.
For example, putting a large medallion in a narrow hallway might make your hallway
feel constricted. Fortunately, ceiling medallions come in sizes appropriate for
any room in your house.
Another consideration is whether you want to incorporate your ceiling as a whole
into the interior design of your home. If you do, you might want to draw more
attention to your ceiling medallions by coordinating the medallions with your
crown molding or consider installing a decorative tin ceiling.
Ceiling medallions are a terrific way to change the feel of your home. Regardless
of the styles that you end up choosing, ceiling medallions will make your home
a one-of-a-kind.
