Look Up: Ceilings to Inspire

Mosaic tile inlay and brushed faux-finish add a contemporary textural dimension to the classic drama of this coffered ceiling. Programmable recessed pot lights at each intersection echo the starry nighttime skyline and require only a single touch to instantly change the ambiance from "let's get down the nuts and bolts of this business presentation" to "let's dance the night away, just us two together."

This entryway's meticulous balance between crisp, unadorned lines and a complex, iconic centerpiece creates a sensation of tranquility, an almost Zen-like sense of symmetry in a traditional, European setting. The chandelier's circular shades and sensual curved frame create a visual bridge from the accent table to the arched loft above.

Richly strained, rustic beams give this kitchen a warm, cozy ambiance reminiscent of summer days at a Mediterranean country villa. A trio of amber pendants suspended on wrought iron chains add dimmable mood illumination above the eating bar, while recessed pot lighting provides unobtrusive yet efficient task lighting.
