I'll be honest, I've got skin in this game. When my partner and I bought a flat in a 70s-era building (read: fairly architecture-less), I wanted to add some form of decorative cornice or ceiling trim to give the space some... something. He argued it would clash with the heritage of the building, and to be honest, a part of me agreed — begrudgingly, though.
So I decided to use my privileged position (and the fact that I get to speak to interior designers daily) to see if I could find someone who'd side with me. So I asked: 'Can you add decorative plasterwork like ceiling trims to a modern home? And perhaps more importantly — should you?'
