Help: Modeling Room

I been trying to improve my skills with Modeling in Maya. I prefer maya over 3ds because it is easier. I have searched youtube videos and have not come across, any that show you how to model ceiling for room. I came across this photo on google images. Unfortunately, i have no clue how to model ceiling like this. anyone help me. heres my version looks bad.

Not sure if i am doing this right. any input be great

I don’t use Maya, but basic rules apply everywhere. You are doing good, focus on the most repetitive element of the room and model it first. When you have it, you will be able to build a basic room with simple replication and add unique details later (or just have elements to build multiple rooms).

Which element gives you the biggest headache?

What you mean by repetitive element?

Well, you shouldn’t model whole room by hand. It means, you find element that repeats across the room, model it, repeat with arrays, mirrors and whatnot. When this is ready you model details, unique features, add imperfections etc.
