10 Stylish Ceiling Design Ideas Worth Stealing

Ceilings are like the underdogs of decorating. They’re often overlooked, but when you give them a bit more attention then they can bring your room to a whole new level. With just a little more work and imagination, you can take a basic space and create drama. These ideas are a bit more than just painting the 5th wall some shade of white – they are each the star of the show when the space is all pulled together. beautiful exposed trusses I know I’m a bit biased, but the exposed trusses in our studio still blow my mind. Exposed beams are one thing, but a big space like this one can handle so much more.  tons of great ceiling design ideas - love this planked ceiling! In my old office (which is now our guest room), we not only planked the ceiling, but painted it a different color. A coat of paint does bring in a bit more character, but adding in the planks was one of my favorite things in this room. Beautiful ceiling design idea

    Those look fabulous! I found a company online called Furnishr. They furnished my home simple yet stylish. If anyone would be interested, check them out. They have chic designs and high-quality furniture. You probably can get inspired by their designs as well.

    I like a clean, minimalist look, so none of these are really for me. To me, all of these ceiling designs ramp up the coziness factor – I can see just about all of these working well in a place like a library or a study.

      Hi Kari,

      They created the designs by putting together different pieces to form shapes. You can get quite an assortment at places like Home Depot or Lowes or online πŸ™‚

    Love all these!! I’m searching for ways to make my ceiling appear taller. It’s the regular 8′. I had a fire in February and was going to use this rebuild opportunity to raise the ceiling in den and kitchen. Long story short it was cost prohibitive. I just went over there (I’m living in apt until my house is finished) and the Sheetrock has been installed. I’m sick. They look lower than before. I’m totally depressed over this and after all the work I’ve done I just want to sell it. I’m trying to be grateful for insurance and that I even have a house; I just WANT HIGHER CEILINGS!!!!! Thanks for letting me cry

      Oh Valerie, I am so sorry!! You go ahead and cry, it must be so hard, but glad that you are ok and that insurance is taking care of getting it all fixed! Just paint the ceiling white or a light color and concentrate on the fun of redecorating.Hang in there πŸ™‚ Sending you hugs!
