Decoration help!

! My mum and I are redecorating my room. It used to be a fish theme, but we’re thinking of changing it to a black and white theme. I want to paint the ceiling, maybe patterns, but its textured so straight lines are impossible. Any ideas?

we have a black and white room with naturl accents in lime green - the green helps make the room “pop”

sorry, not really my thing. i have accents figured out, but its the ceiling thats the problem. it so… white. and checkerboard, stripes, and other straight lines wont work. its a textured ceiling and we’re not getting a professional to do it, and neither my mum nor myself would manage it.

what’s wrong with orange and black diamonds? kind of like squares of a checkerboard, all put next to eachother only at an angle. i think i just might use that as my room decoration for my ceiling now that i think of it…

If you havent started yet you should do the clouds in halftones… just take a phone and enlarge it to a dotted patern that makes up the different colours if thats what your going for.
