An easy and versatile way to accessorise your home is to experiment with plaster of Paris. POP or plaster of Paris is a quick-setting plaster made of white powder that hardens when exposed to water and then is allowed to dry. Nowadays, the simple and latest POP design styles are mostly used to make false ceilings, pillar designs and protrusions in home interiors.
Apart from designing the perfect false ceiling, POP design for room interiors can be used in a number of ways in every room. You can give your home a classy Victorian look with wall trims or a grand traditional feel with POP jaali panels. However, before you employ a trained professional to work on stunning ceiling designs for your home, read this extensive guide to learn all about POP.
