Old Cathedral Ceiling

7 years ago
What do I do with our Cathedral Ceiling. Paint it White, Leave it or plaster board over it ?Many sleepless nights pondering my dilemma? Quite dark even when the sun is shining. Quite open plan with sliding doors to catch the view.
New flooring (I like timber or tiles) will be needed because we have to put in a new galley kitchen in the old 1970's house .
I'm scared to make the wrong decision so any help would be very appreciated. X

Comments (6)Depends where you are. In parts of Europe this is the local vernacular and would devalue the house to paint any if it. However if you are in the uk with our poor quality light then I say have the whole lot painted...See MoreHow to light asymmetrical cathedral ceiling?
Comments (7)Hi joelizabeth, They ship internationally and sit in a showroom that is twice the size of your living room... They are actually quite sizeable, granted they are not larger spheres, but offer a different kind of cluster light because they can hang quite low and they offer bespoke sizing.. I see what you mean- they do really work with grey or a darker colour scheme.. but the transparency of them can look really magical.. They have bright led's inside which illuminate the pebble - and so accent the little lights you have on those twigs.. With a couple of lower lighting options like a table lamp or a wall light... I could see them hanging off centre quite easily... Leaving the fan well alone.. Having them sitting off centre, is more interesting sometimes than having everything looking symmetrical.. Sometimes symmetry doesn't work... With the option to have them hanging at differing heights, you can create a unique configuration or even have them in a straight line.... They are glass ovals situated in a nickel metal surround and chain which houses the flex/cord which is woven into it. At the moment showrooms in London and New York.. You will find what works for you.. : ) )...See MoreSeven year old with an opinion
Comments (31)I'm a big supporter of letting children show their creative side. We spend two years teaching our kids to walk and talk, and the rest of their lives to sit down and shut up. If she wants to get creative with striped walls, buy some rolls of vinyl and just lay them up, you can then whip them off at any time and you haven't got horrendous paint lines or colour differentials to try and cover....See MoreCarolina
7 years agoThe roof windows added a huge amount of light. Even though we had plenty of windows without them, we live in the woods, so the house was very dark.
We've added two over the kitchen area too.
