The Primary Area of Your Interior to Beautify Your Home: Ceiling Designs
Planning an interior involves choosing paint colors, deciding on furniture style, adding accessories and finishing the decor. In all of these strategies, we often forget about one very important element: the ceiling of the room.
Once we have everything else sorted out, we give it the final thought and make a quick decision. Or we just install a typical suspended ceiling and be done with it.
But a well-thought-out ceiling design can make a big difference in your home. So, we will now focus on decorating this area, which tends to be our blind spot when designing interiors.
How to Give Your Home Perfect Ceilings?
There are many ways to elevate the overall aesthetic of a room by drawing focus to the ceiling. Here's how.
Notification Ceiling
You can make a statement with your choice of ceiling by going bold and making it the focal point of the room. Statement ceilings work best in rooms with a neutral color palette. Make sure not to go overboard with paint colors or decor so that the ceiling remains the star.
You can go for a rustic statement ceiling with patterns, beams, and depth that draws attention. If your ceiling is bold, keep the walls light in color, but don't be afraid to add a dash of contrast with your furniture choices.
Classic Ceiling Tiles
Who says a classic ceiling can’t be attractive? You don’t always have to be bold to make your ceiling stand out. Choose traditional ceiling tiles if they match your room’s decor. You can also stick styrofoam tiles to the ceiling for a vintage look.
Ceiling tiles can be matched with floor tiles to give a cohesive look. This design works best for hallways, lounges and other areas with horizontal depth. If your ceiling tiles are a neutral color, paint the walls bright.
Textured Beauty
It’s not just walls that can handle texture. Try a textured ceiling and you’ll never regret it. You can create textures on regular ceilings, wooden ceilings, and even concrete ceilings.
If you have a textured statement wall, carry the same design across the ceiling for a uniform look. This tells people you’ve really given them a taste of this rare gem. Match the door with the same texture to give the space a unique look.
Contrast Effect
Thin ceilings look great, but can be a little plain. If you want the room to stand out, how about a ceiling that contrasts with the room's color scheme? If your room is painted in dark colors, choose a white or pastel color for the ceiling, and if your room is neutral, choose a bold ceiling color.
Contrasting ceilings have a distinctive look that adds to the appeal of a room. If you want the entire interior scheme to be more harmonious, you can place a few small elements around the room that match the ceiling color.
Matching Colors
Matching the ceiling to the wall colors exactly may sound crazy, but it works. It brings the entire color scheme of the room together and makes the space feel welcoming. This design works well on both high and low ceilings.
You can also color coordinate with false ceilings. Add some light to break up the monotony and you have yourself a space that is pleasing to the eye. Make sure the floor is not the same color as the rest of the space. Choose a lighter or darker shade or cover it with carpets and rugs.
Center Medallion
If you’re a fan of old-world ceilings, add moldings and a medallion to bring in that classic vibe. Ceiling medallions work best if you have a chandelier or light fixture in mind. If not, you can always place the fan in the center.
Classic white stucco decor with central medallion looks very nice. If your interior scheme is vintage or classic, this is the best ceiling design for you.
Wooden wonder
Wooden ceilings look extremely good. Even if you don't have a lot of wooden elements in your room, you can choose a wooden ceiling to create an impact.
You can design the ceiling with wooden planks, beams, tiles or boards. Choose something that complements the room without being too basic. It should stand out on its own, but also tie in with the rest of the space for a complete look.
Grids and Patterns
Remember the beamed ceilings in old houses that formed a grid-like pattern? They looked so gorgeous and classic, bringing to mind a childhood home that one often visited.
This grid design can be modernized to be incorporated into a contemporary home without compromising the elegance of the space. In fact, gridded and patterned ceilings actually look very cool and timeless.
Add pendant lights and low hanging chandeliers to enhance the grid. If you choose a wooden structure for this design, match it with wooden floors but keep the walls distinct. Don’t go for glossy painted walls though. Let the ceiling shine.
Ceilings are a hidden space that can be easily overlooked when designing a home, but when you pay attention to this element, you'll realize how much of a difference it makes to the overall look of a room.
