Ceiling Design 2015: Current Trends
Making the ceiling in an apartment is no less significant process than the design of walls or floors.

Veneer is a very convenient material for finishing curved surfaces. They can sheathe the ceiling and curved parts of the walls. By combining veneer and drywall constructions, it is possible to easily perform zoning of space. The coldness of the white part of the room is offset by the warmth of the tree:
