Small Change; Big Impact – Black Ceiling Medallions

[ad_1]

I recently made a small change to our en suite hallway. I painted the white ceiling medallions black.

You wouldn’t think such a small change could have such a big impact, but painting the ceiling medallions black really allows these fluted marble light fixtures to shine.

I wish I’d painted them black when I installed these flush mounts. But after installing the molding in this hallway and painting the ceiling black, I was just ready to be done with this hallway makeover. Plus with all of the trim work being white (Charleston White), I thought leaving the medallions white was maybe the right call.

But now that I’ve painted the medallions black, I wish I had done this right from the start! The fluted detail just looks so stunning against the black! You can really appreciate the unique design of these marble flush mounts now!

I used Sherwin Williams Urethane Trim Enamel in semi-gloss in the color Hitching Post Black from the Historic Duron Collection, which is the same color as the ceiling. And I’m loving the subtle contrast between the semi-gloss on the medallions and the flat finish of the ceiling.
