Looking Up

Ceiling design is always so incredible. I especially love it in a bedroom when you actually look at the ceiling! But even in hallways or voluminous rooms ceiling design looks awesome! Here are some ceilings that caught my eye...

The 5th Wall

The ceiling is often a missed opportunity to make a design statement. Wood paneling, moldings, or paint colors are all great options to wrap a room from floor to ceiling. When budget is a constraint paint is the most cost effective choice to accent the ceiling. I usually apply a color 50% lighter than the wall color on the ceiling. When going all out on designing a room moldings and woodwork give ceilings the most impact and style. Here are a few examples that I love!!

High Beams

I love when a ceiling becomes another feature of a room. This can be done through paint, mouldings, beams, soffits or shapes. Today I was drawn towards wood beams in the ceiling.  The beams add another layer of richness to these spaces...

I love how these beams add so much warmth to this super white kitchen!
