Our client had two very plain white ceiling medallions and needed some pizazz added to her ceilings. In combination with changing her ceiling colors and an additional custom handpainted paper treatment--the medallions were the perfect finishing touch.
Ceiling medallions are useful to add additional ornamentation to a ceiling. Another benefit is when a chandelier, or other light fixture cannot be centered. With a medallion in place, the slightly off center fixture will look perfectly in place. Medallions are surprisingly lightweight--and made of a styrofoam material.
The first medallion was antiqued and highlighted in browns and golds to blend in with an entry wall ceiling painted in a similiar color. The second piece has much more of a dramatic flair and was perfect for the dining room. We had so much fun dressing up this very large medallion. The layers include gold stain, an antique mahogony bronzing treatment with highlights added to the medallion in a rich teal to mimic natural patina. Medallions can be handpainted to match lightfixtures in a variety of shades---come back for pictures of the finished ceilings! :)
