How do I Design a Stairwell Ceiling?
- 1). Look through home improvement, home decorating and home construction magazines. Find pictures of stairwell ceilings that are possibilities.
- 2). Search the Internet for ceiling designs for stairwells. Print off pictures of any designs you like.
- 3). Look at the blueprint of the stairwell and find the measurements of the stairwell ceiling. If you don't have a blueprint, take measurements of an existing stairwell with a tape measure. Use the dimensions to complete a drawing of the area.
- 4). Draw out the ceiling design you have chosen to use. Use graph paper to get the dimensions correct. Determine the dimension significance of each square. Use either the blueprint dimensions or the measurements taken of the area. Example: One graph paper square is equivalent to 6 inches. This dimension will work for most stairwells. Another alternative is to make one graph paper square equivalent to 1 foot.
