Moving into a new home, or even considering redecorating and
existing home, can be fraught with details. There’s the question of what to
do about window treatments, how to handle flooring, or where to begin when it
comes to decor elements. Everything from the wood you choose for your bedroom
furniture to the type of container used to store your toothbrushes seems to
be under scrutiny. With all of those details, have you stopped to consider
what’s hanging over your head- literally? Have you thought about how ceilings
can affect your rooms?
Ceilings can have a big impact on
your space – just think about the Sistine Chapel! After all, while you
may not be trying to turn your ceilings into a work of art, you can consider
still consider the quality of material, natural lighting, and a design
aesthetic when you are deciding what type of ceiling is best for your home.
Choose a vision for you ceilings in certain space to help have the best
impact on your rooms and your overall happiness in your design
space.
Light, airy
kitchens.
The kitchen is known as the heart
and soul of the home, and making a kitchen into a warm, inviting space that
is light and airy will go a long way in helping people feel comfortable. Make
sure the kitchen ceiling is a light color, and a pattern that is pleasant. If
lights are cut into the ceiling, choose a design angle that is angled in a
way that does not shine directly into your eyes. Ideally, kitchen ceilings
will be raised or slanted, so that they give the impression of opening into a
bigger space – this can set the tone for your whole
home.
Luxurious
bathrooms.
Painting a bath area in a deep
color, such as a charcoal, and emulating a natural element, like a stone, can
help to create a sense of luxury and comfort in a space that you can use to
unwind and relax in the bathtub. In contrast, all-white bathrooms can lead to
a sterile feel.
Cozy living
spaces.
Living room and bedrooms don’t
necessarily need height in their ceilings to make them feel comfortable and
lived-in, but choosing a ceiling pattern that has a little bit of texture and
is painted in a warm tone can help to make your bedroom or living room have a
comforting feel.
Whatever color or texture you choose for
your ceiling, consider height and skylights to bring some added natural
lighting to a room, when debating what kind of ceiling would be best for your
spaces.
