Ceilings are considered the fifth wall, so don't overlook an opportunity to add a little architectural interest to the most neglected spot in the room. Ceiling medallions are an inexpensive

option for ceiling decor and can be purchased at most home improvement stores. This ceiling medallion adds character and personality to the light fixture, and it truly makes it shine.

Stripes are an easy way to create architectural interest in a room. A little painter's tape and some imagination can fill a blank room with personality. A quick tip for taping stripes:

make sure your darker stripes are about a 1/2" larger than your lighter stripes (to create a geometric pattern that's pleasing to the eye)
