Designing your home’s ceiling can be a controversial endeavour. Some people go all-out with their designs to either love them or hate them in the end. Others like to keep it plain, simple, and vanilla–out of the fear of spoiling the overall design. No matter which side of the spectrum you’re on, creating a statement ceiling design takes plenty of hard work and homework. Depending on the space, you’ll want to think about the design, colours, lighting, and so on. If you’re looking for beautiful ceiling designs to elevate your home space, this handy guide will is a great place to start. Let’s get going.
Idea 1: An Exposed Wooden Beam Ceiling Gives off a Warm and Rustic Vibe
Nothing says luxury and elegance like exposed wooden beams. Take a look at the image above, for instance. These wooden beams on the ceiling are perfectly complemented with elegant industrial-styled pendant lights. If you’ve got a beautiful and open floor plan, this idea is worth stealing for your kitchen and/or dining room. Add soft furnishings in the lighter tones and give your home a country feel, reminiscent of Bob Dylan’s songs in the 1960s. The good life.
Idea 2: All Wood Ceiling Design Is a Refreshing Choice
A rather unusual choice, but an all-wooden ceiling is perfect for people who love the Wabi-Sabi style of interior designing. Quite simply, Wabi-Sabi refers to appreciating the imperfections of everyday living, and this is exactly what the above design style achieves effortlessly. The light wooden tiles literally light up the bedroom, without making it look boxy. The use of jute planters and beige soft furnishings complete the look, making the space an Instagram-worthy spot.
Idea 3: Nothing Says Statement Like a Circular Ceiling
If your living room is not the standard square shape and is slightly more circular in execution, this round ceiling design is worth noting. You can play with dual colours on the ceiling (take inspiration from your living room wall colour) and place a regal-looking chandelier in the middle. This ceiling design is ideal for living rooms that have plenty of space to offer, so make sure to factor in your spacing needs.
Idea 4: Double Ceiling with Neon Lights Offer a Luxe, Formal Look to the Space
If you want a bolder option, it makes sense to go for neon lighting within the ceiling, as shown here. The subtle use of purple flowers and neon lighting in a light-purplish neon tone transforms this living room into a formal yet warm residing space.
Idea 5: An All-White Textured Ceiling Never Fails to Impress
If your apartment’s style is inherently modern and stylish, here’s an interesting take on ceiling design. The all-white walls, along with wooden parquet floors and a dark marble fireplace, are perfectly complemented by a textured, exposed, and jutting out the ceiling. This design gives the space a cottage-like feel, from the comfort of your apartment that’s predictably in a high-rise.
Idea 6: An Airy and Open Ceiling Makes the Home Cosy and Comforting
Our favourite pick from the lot: To let the natural light in, have a small section carved out. This will give the space an attic-like feel while allowing the natural sunlight to stream in. You don’t need to go overboard with the ceiling texture or pattern with this design. That’s what makes it super doable and interesting!
Idea 7: Hidden Air Vents Within the False Ceiling Make Great Use of the Functional Space
For homeowners who like all-things functional, this false ceiling design is an excellent choice. You can strategically place the air conditioning vents in such a way that they’re not a hindrance to the line of sight. The continuous use of white–from floor to ceiling–makes the space look spacious, airy, and open.
Idea 8: Placement of Lighting Strategically on the Ceiling can Literally Light Up the Room
Your ceiling is not simply there to put a roof over your head (though that is its primary job). A ceiling design worth it’s salt should be functional and lend tons of character to the space. Take a look at the design shown above. This ceiling design literally comes to life, thanks to the strategic use of spotlighting all over. You can go for warm white light and add tons of cosiness to the space. If your living room or kitchen area is huge, this ceiling design is worth mulling over.
