Ceiling design detail

I’m in India for an Asia Pacific Color conference and staying at the Jai Mal Palace hotel in Jaipur.
For the past couple of mornings I have enjoyed having this be the first thing I see every morning when I first open my eyes.
While I liked the detail immediately it wasn’t until I had a few days to ‘wake up to it’ that I realized just how nice this decorative element is in my beautiful, elegant but otherwise neutral bedroom.
Also notice that rather than using a crown moulding like those we typically see in the United States that they have simply layered straight cut boards one on top of the other for a very nice effect.
I may just have to add a painted detail like this to the ceiling of my bedroom at home.

Thanks for stopping by to check out the site and to say hello.
Check back later this week to see my post about the DIY wall projects you put together for Asian Paint. Thanks for sharing them with me.
