Anaglypta - Ana What?


Source





Anaglypta is white, but can be painted any color you choose.


While anaglypta has traditionally been used in historic homes - think Victorian, Edwardian, etc. - modern day homes have used this beautiful wall covering for myriad design reasons.


A perfect example is a former home of mine built in 2000. I wanted a very formal and traditional dining room. I specified built-in corner cabinets and looked at tin ceilings. Unfortunately, the price for the ceiling was higher than I was willing to pay. Instead I found a beautiful anaglypta wallpaper that resembled the pressed tin tiles; had it installed and painted. Once the furniture, fabrics & accessories were added the result was perfect for that home.

As an aside, this dining room could easily be updated today with new chairs, new curtains & new lighting.


Here are a couple more anaglypta ceilings - I still love this look!

While the word may be hard to say, I hope Anaglypta has stolen your heart as much as it has mine.
