The Fifth Wall Theory

Many of you have been working with us for so long that the fifth wall theory is part of your design plan from day one; this tip is for the rest of you! Way, way back, when I graduated from the Chicago School of Interior Design and dinosaurs ruled the earth, there was a hot new theory called the five-wall theory of design. It was based around the idea that we walk on the floor and are surrounded by five walls. The fifth wall is the ceiling. I have always said it is my dream to stamp out white ceilings in my lifetime. I find it hard to believe that people who will jump huge hurdles to coordinate their clothes will ignore their ceiling. It's like wearing a white shirt with every suit you own. It may not be the worst thing in the world but it sure isn't the best thing and you deserve the best. So be prepared to coordinate all five of your walls and, if you're afraid, come to us. People are afraid of what they don't understand, and we understand the fifth wall!
