Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

If your ceilings look a little flat to you, you can add warmth and texture with wood. In this picture from Architectural Systems, a mahogany wood pattern is used to cover up an ugly office ceiling. It certainly adds a lot of drama to an otherwise boring work space. You could do the same transformation with your living room or bedroom. (Something like this could even be used to cover up those old 1970s popcorn ceilings that are such a pain to scrape down.) I like the dark, rich mahogany, but any wood that suits you can be used. Some of the ones this company works with are pine, beech, ash, larch, oak, cherry, maple, and exotic sapelli.
