Who doesn't love the charm and character that an embossed tin ceiling provides? Once found only in historic homes, these wonderful architectural details are the perfect way to add some vintage personality to your home.
You don't need to install an entire ceiling or wall to get the look - adding just one single tile to your decor - either as is, or configured and upcycled into something entirely new - is easy and inexpensive. Check out these awesome examples of tin ceiling tiles used both traditionally and creatively, and I think you'll agree!
