Are your ceilings boring? If so, do something about it! Beams can be added, drywall detailing, tin ceilings for a vintage look or paint! The left photo is a stencil on an 8’ ceiling to add interest. A stencil like this gives interest without lowering the ceiling The photo on the right shows how beams will make the ceiling lower as they extend down.
Tongue and groove wooden ceiling from light to dark is another textural option for variety. If the ceiling is too high, bring molding down on the wall and end the ceiling color at the molding.
There are many choices when it comes to choosing a color for the ceiling of a room. The good news is you can’t really go wrong! In the end it comes down to personal preferences. Flat or gloss? Either works as some people designers like the shine and reflection. When it comes to color you have many more choices and they all depend on the feeling you want for the room. A white ceiling will make your room look higher and brighter. While matching your ceiling to the walls will give your room a cozy feel. If you are feeling more adventurous you can even go with different colors than your walls or a shade (darker or lighter) of the wall color. The choices are endless!
