Tropical Open Beam Look With Natural Wallpaper on Ceiling

Earlier this week I was looking for pictures of partially enclosed outdoor showers, and my favorite one in that post was at a Four Seasons in Hawaii. While I was checking out that Four Seasons website, I found this picture and I thought it was an idea worth sharing.

Take a look at that ceiling. You can do that! You may not be able to get that shape if you don’t already have it, but you can get that open beam look and you can put some natural fiber fabric or wallpaper on the ceiling to get that tropical feel.

It’s nowhere near as hard as it looks, but hard enough that I don’t want to try and explain it! All I can say is this: If you want to do this, just Google “wallpaper on the ceiling”, “fabric on the ceiling”, etc., and you’ll learn how to do that part. The wood itself is simple. I did a post awhile back on open beam ceilings to help get your ideas flowing.
