The roof is often an overlooked element in interior design. A beautifully designed bedroom deserves to be crowned with equally beautiful ceilings. Although reaching a high level can mean extra work, “wow!” the decorative ceiling maker will offer guests a well worth the effort. Here are some decorating ideas to get you started looking inspired.
Texture
There are three types of texture. Almost everyone is familiar with “popcorn”, the kind that is spread like balls. “Pulse-down” is a special technique that creates depth where the texture is usually sprinkled on the popcorn but is interpreted to create a pattern. The other option is to pursue all the flattery to go on. Drywall lynch testing may have other more custom features in your bag of tricks, just ask.
To be painted
You’ve often heard that it’s easiest to transform a space with paint. This truth is over your head. A solid color, or a decorative finish, can add a new design to a space. In the case of using a “knock-down” texture, you also have the option of painting the ceiling in one color and then spray painting another .
Wallpapering
A professional wallpaper designer can do wonders with pattern, color and texture. If you want to DIY, make sure you have extra hands and steps or ladders to keep it in place. Great for spaces old.
Fabric
Fabric collection is great for living rooms with an old world or vintage feel, although not as easy to keep clean as wallpaper. Apply a shield in the center of the room and work your way out into the corners, picking up the fabric going in to create a flow and look like you’ve conceived.
Wood
Fake beams or trim designs can add a decorative touch to the ceiling. This is a great option if you have other custom wood or molding throughout the place.
Tile
Why paint only the ceiling when you can mimic the same texture and texture above as you do on your floor? From lead overlay, to ceramics, to custom tiles, the possibilities are endless.
Metal scraping
Along the same lines as lead tiles, adding full metal sheets to the ceiling can add an important energy feel. Great in modern kitchens that use the same for counter tops or back-splashes.
Skylights
Normal or custom stained glass skylights add a touch of brightness to a room. This option may require extensive renovations though, including electrical hazards, so always consult an expert before embarking on a DIY project.
Miracles
Another modern option to add height and light to a space is through the placement of mirrors. I will bring them to the ceiling, in full paper or tiles, to open the atmosphere of the eye in the room.
Artwork
More ideas for decorating the ceiling is worth hiring a local artist to paint a custom mural above your head. If you want to be creative, rent a projector or buy a stencil to create your own expression in the room.
