Walls, Windows, & Ceilings

When designing a room, some of the surfaces you have to consider are the ceiling, walls and windows. With paint and wallpaper, you can make walls and ceilings an unobtrusive backdrop or a lavish focal point! Design options are almost limitless. Paint can be as basic as one color in a matte or gloss finish, or as elaborate as a decorative paint finish, such as a faux finish, a stenciled design, or even a mural. Wallpapers run the gamut from classic stripes and floral patterns to natural textured materials, such as grass cloth. For windows, curtains and other window treatments serve many purposes - privacy, lighting control, climate control - but they can also enhance a good view or conceal a bad one. Window treatments can also be used to cleverly disguise windows that lack architectural detail or are mismatched in size.
