What do you think of this ceiling?

I like this ceiling a lot. The whole design really. I enjoy the complexity of the ceiling with the simplicity of the furnishings below. I would love to see it fully accessorized. I found this a Houzz by dSPACE Studio. What do you think? Is the ceiling a classic or a trend?

Gorgeous Ceiling

This ceiling is in the library of the Cosmos Club in Washington, DC. I went there the other day to meet Christian Herrmann, a stone artist from Pennsylvania. Christian belongs to the sister club in NY; he stays in this club when visiting DC. He gave me a tour.

I could have snapped pictures of the entire place as the architecture is beautiful but I thought that would be rude. However, when I saw this coffer ceiling, I had to take a few shots. I love the details. I have clients I'll have to show this too. They would appreciate it so much. I love the pattern of the beams... everything about it. It's not the simple square pattern seen so often. Inspiration is everywhere. EVERYWHERE!

Or both. Your choice is dependant on the desired look. Moral ~ don't forget the fifth wall in any room.
