Things have changed — plasterwork is not just small, old-school, dust-covered detailing that disappears into the room anymore. Today's cornicing (the decorative moldings that run along the seam between walls and ceilings) and plasterwork (a broader term that includes features such as ceiling roses, wall paneling, and ornamental reliefs) come in all shapes and sizes, from the classical to the creative.
"Cornices and other plaster details have evolved far beyond their traditional, elaborate styles — there are now plenty of modern options for those who prefer a more streamlined aesthetic," says Greg Natale, director of his eponymous Sydney-based architectural and interior design firm, of the ceiling decorating idea.
