Even though I’ve been back from my vacation for a few weeks now, I find myself still thinking about the ceilings throughout Italy. Ceiling today are treated by many as an afterthought in the overall design. I would like to see that change. No element of your space should be an afterthought.
Here are some examples of gorgeous ceilings in Italy:
Painted ceiling in Juliet’s House in Verona:

Painted ceiling in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence:

Painted ceiling in a church in Ravenna:

An elaborate ceiing in the Vatican Museum:

These beautiful ceilings are sticking with me. I am finding them inspiring.
