Remove Blandness With Faux Tin Ceilings
By Arturo Ronzon

Within the interval of a couple of years or so, you would head down to the local hardware store to get a fresh coat of white paint for you ceiling. This will restore the whiteness to a bland ceiling. If you suddenly start to notice how bland and boring your ceiling is, then why not take a creative adventure and liven up your ceiling? Installing faux tin ceilings will bring a whole new dimension to your otherwise bland ceiling.

Faux tin ceilings normally come with a form of intricate and detailed pattern work. You would have probably seen a few on television or maybe at the lobby of your office building. You would think that installing this type of ceiling would require a lot of hard work but there is actually an easy way to get your own faux tin ceiling without too much work needing to be done.

The whole intricate pattern work covering the ceiling actually consists in several square or rectangular pieces fitted together. The installation process is quite easy and straightforward while the tin ceiling pieces themselves are very affordable.

You could hire almost anyone to install the faux tin ceiling for you if you are not the do-it-yourself type. All you have to do is browse through catalogs, magazines and websites to decide on the design. Then you would need to measure your ceiling to see if your chosen design would fit in well. Once all the measurements are taken, it's off to the stores (or websites) to make your purchase. It is a good idea to get a few extra tin ceiling pieces just in case some pieces get damaged during installation.

When putting up the tin pieces, it is better to start in the middle of the ceiling and work your way to the edges. This way, you will only need to trim the pieces at the edges to fill your ceiling and this will leave your design unscathed. Make sure that you know exactly where the middle of your ceiling is and plan on how you want to move outward from that point.

After all the work is done, you will be the proud owner of a beautiful faux tin ceiling that will last a lifetime. Guests to your home will surely notice the difference and will surely be amazed to know that you installed yourself.
