Top 5 designs with grisaille and/or ornamental painting
Grisaille or grisaglia, is a type of monochromatic painting style, originally in grey or neutral tones that produce the illusion of three-dimensional texture or architectural reliefs. Many times they embody the appearance of ornamental molding. Some say that being a skilful painter is the same as being a talented liar; making people see things that aren’t really there. The reason why it looks so realistic is not only the colour but also the understanding of perspective and lighting. Its aesthetic is reminiscent of another era, giving guests the experience of entering a modernised version of a classic palazzo. Apart from that, this type of ornamental detail is usually arranged and designed around preexisting topographies of the architecture itself, leading the visitor’s eyes through every nook and cranny of the building’s peculiarities. Today we selected five projects that made the best out of these types of ornamental painting and moldings, creating a balance between old and new.
