Excerpt from Making Walls and Ceilings The dimensions of a room and its rela tive proportions must necessarily affect the treatment accorded the walls and ceiling. If the proportions are ill udged, the fault may be remedied to a great extent by handling the walls and ceiling in a ju dicious manner. If, on the other hand, walls and ceiling are unwisely dealt with, pleasing proportions may be lost sight of or completely spoiled. The importance, therefore, of well calculated wall and ceil ing treatment, in relation to a room's pro portions, can scarcely be overrated.
