What are ceiling domes?
Ceiling domes are used to accent chandeliers or other ceiling
light fixtures. Some people like to install ceiling domes for
purely decorative purposes without light fixtures to give their
ceilings “texture.” Unlike ceiling medallions,
ceiling domes are usually recessed. Ceiling domes are also
usually larger than ceiling medallions. Ceiling domes are made
from materials including plaster, fiberglass, and urethane.
Domes come in many styles that will fit into the interior design
of your home and in enough sizes so that you can pick out the
perfect ceiling domes for any room in your house.
Ceilings today are underutilized. If you were to go into
any fine Victorian home, you would be entranced by patterns
on ceilings and ornate ceiling domes or medallions. The ceiling’s
appearance would subtlety change as the light changes in
the house from dawn to dusk. At night, candles would light
up rooms, flickering light and shadows back and forth over
ceiling domes and other architectural accents. Ceilings today
are downright boring.
By using ceiling domes throughout your home, whether you
use the ceiling domes with light fixtures or without, you
can create a much more interesting, textured, ornate atmosphere
in your home. You might want to consider using ceiling tiles
or other architectural accents in addition to ceiling domes.
You can make a new tract home unique and truly yours. You
can also make a one-of-a-kind house more spectacular. Additionally,
architectural accents like ceiling domes may also increase
your home’s resale value.
