Ceilings are often overlooked in interior design, but they offer a unique opportunity to elevate a space. With the right treatments, a ceiling can become a standout feature, adding depth, texture, and character to any room. In this blog, we’ll explore various design treatments that can transform your ceiling from an afterthought to a focal point. Whether you’re looking for subtle elegance or bold statements, there’s a treatment to suit every style and space.
One easy way to dress up a ceiling is with wallpaper. While typically used on walls, it adds drama and interest when applied horizontally. Wallpapers come in various colors, textures, and intricate patterns, offering a fresco-like effect without the time and cost.
When the ceiling heights allow it, one of the most impactful decorative ceilings is creating a coffer, complete with ambient lighting. To make the coffered ceiling even more visually dynamic, unique designs made out of gyp and painted either to match or contrast with the surrounding ceiling can be added.
In many commercial spaces, ceiling access to HVAC and Electrical is a common necessity- hence the invention of 2×2 ACT. While this type of ceiling can often feel more “institutional,” rotating the grid 45 degrees, or utilizing more decorative 2×2 tiles can freshen up an often boring ceiling feature.
