Look Up

Interior Design Tip:
Painted Ceilings

When we decided to remodel the Launderette office, we covered our walls with samples from Restoration Hardware’s entire Flax Paint Collection. Nothing felt right until an inspired idea…

Why not make our office chocolate covered? We are, after all, fueled by chocolate cinnamon bears.  “It’ll look like a cave.” some worried. But the idea that dark colors make a room smaller is a myth, so we dipped our ceiling in brown. The result: the dark color draws the room upwards like being under a vast night sky.

A painted ceiling adds drama and interest to a room. When paired with molding and trim, it looks tailored and elegant.

So while you paint your ceiling, can we recommend listening to the Launderette mix? The combination of fumes and sweet tunes will make you giddy.
