Paintings on a ceiling
Decorating your room and ceiling for weddings, birthday parties, holidays or graduations, for instance, may be as simple as placing streamers stretched across the room. For example, to celebrate a wedding reuse Christmas lights intertwined with white crepe streamers, starting at the center and extending to each corner of the room for the length of the lights. Tape small lacy paper doilies in a pattern near the center of the streamers or hang them from a string at the ends.
General Ideas
Open-beam, lowered or drop-down, copper-tiled, framed and coffered ceilings each make an attractive addition to a kitchen, dining or living room. Drop-down ceilings are easily created by creating shapes from heavy cardboard or inexpensive wood sheets, suspending them from the ceiling with small-link chain or cord. For mood lighting, use a string of lights attached between the ceiling and the board, hiding the cord along the ceiling and corner to the outlet with a cardboard strip painted to match the wall. Coffered ceilings are easily created with old picture frames or wood beams, cut and attached to the ceiling to make squares. Before attaching the beams to the ceiling, paint them a light shade, lightly sand and finish them with a satin stain of a medium to dark color.
