The fifth wall- the ceiling- is conveniently forgotten, as it does not usually fit in the direct line of sight. However, research says ceiling decoration plays a silent yet enormous role in setting the mood of the house and its general atmosphere.

How to get that perfect ceiling? Check out the following pointers:
