| Today, ceilings may be
the most underused and underrated part of a home. They are ignored
in many homes and either lightly plastered or sprayed with popcorn.
If you long to bring your ceilings into the décor of your
home, consider installing traditional plaster ceiling medallions.
In the old days, houses were lit with candles. Sometimes candles
were used to provide overhead light in ceiling fixtures. This
would occasionally lead to disastrous results, ceiling fires.
In order to avoid this problem, plaster ceiling medallions
were made to keep candles and ceilings separate.
Today, most people do not use candles in their lighting fixtures.
However, lighting fixtures such as chandeliers continue to
be used in homes. Plaster ceiling medallions continue to be
used in homes to make ceilings look more interesting and to
draw attention to ceiling fixtures.
Plaster ceiling medallions are available in several attractive
styles. You may find ones that use acanthus leaves for decoration,
a practice that dates back to ancient Greece. Other decorations
on plaster ceiling medallions might include geometric designs,
Victorian era designs, or flower designs.
If you would like a really traditional appearance in your
home, look at plaster ceiling medallions.
