Ceiling WOW

Monochromatic neutral rooms are trending today, but this ceiling ups the anti!

Have you seen this gorgeous ceiling in the dining room reveal by uber talented Jessie D. Miller of The Design Daredevil?

Her ceiling 'how-to' features MDF cut with a C and C router from her design mirrored from the wallpaper in the room.

Neutral doesn't have to be boring!!

Achromatic what?

You've heard of MONOCHROMATIC rooms, using only one color like this:

and you've heard of COMPLEMENTARY color schemes, where the colors are opposite of one another on a color wheel:

But have you heard of ACHROMATIC   color schemes?  These are schemes that only use black and white.  This look is growing in popularity lately. I'm guessing it stems from the origins of an all white room where some dark contrast is added to warm it up.

My new fav is black and white and gold which further breaks up the starkness and adds warmth.  Simulated gold is also shown in natural elements like baskets and wood tones.

I'm seeing this trend more and more. Erika at Small Shop did a piece on achromatic dining rooms...Do you see this trend infusing into todays room designs?  Are you using it yet?
