Plexiglass covering

Ideas for skylight interior?
+5
We bought a little condo that is very dated. Built in 1970. The skylight in the living room was covered with the plexiglass in photo #1.
We just replaced the skylight and took off the plexiglass. Guess it could’ve looked way worse!
Our living room is transitional with Asian inspiration. Ideas appreciated on construction, design, materials, colors. Ceiling will remain white. Walls to be determined.
Thank you!
Drywall inside. New wood at top placed when new skylight replaced last month.
There‘s a metal strip at the base which is 1” wide. Too troublesome to remove. Need to work around it.
Really want the bottom edges to not look DIY.
Did you end up going with the trim? We have a new home and that corner bead has cracked all the way around. I’m thinking of trimming rather than remudding.
I agree with the other's but they also have nicer glass then they had in the 70.
I have the exact issue with the extension of wood replacing an old skylight that had been leaking. We have been advised that it is too hard to add sheetrock, and that it would be subject to attracting moisture that close to the glass, so wondering what you decided to do? We have tossed around putting crown mold at the top of the sheetrock. Please let us know what you did to make this not look DIY. Thanks in advance.
If you just want to give the skylight a face lift amazon sells skylight covers that come in many different patterns and very cute scenic prints. The light still comes thru but you see this amazing scenic picture at the same time.
