Look at the ceiling: four decor ideas

We are used to white ceilings. But is it an axiom? Our ideas will help you look at the ceiling from a different point of view, and at the same time figure out how to expand the space

Unusual color

If you want to be original, then the simplest oneThe way to achieve this is to make the ceiling bright and colorful. The editors have seen interiors with blue, light blue, crimson, green and even black ceilings. And they were all very memorable. And don’t think that bright ceilings are terrible. Not at all, because sometimes the ceiling height is excessive, and the ceiling has to be “lowered” to make it cozier and more comfortable. And here is a little secret: to avoid the feeling of “the ceiling falling on your head”, you need to use a high ceiling cornice, which will optically “tear” the ceiling away from the walls. However, even without a cornice, a bright ceiling can be very good. In fact, to highlight the ceiling as a design element, it is not at all necessary to use bright paint, it is enough to just slightly tint it. Light blue and greenish shades will visually raise the ceiling, and pink and yellow will create a pleasant and warm atmosphere in the interior.

Gold and silver

Another trend is silver and gold ceilings.Yes, they were popular in the 90s, and now designers are turning to this type of ceiling decor again. But, of course, not in the palatial form that it once was. Nowadays, a silver or gold ceiling can easily appear in a minimalist interior. Silvering and gilding are now most often done with gold leaf (these are sheets of alloy that imitate silver or gold). Gold leaf is convenient to work with both straight and curved surfaces. Victoria Lee, designer: “In support of the “golden theme” of the ceiling, I advise using other gold items in the room’s decor: vases, door handles, and so on.”

Wood is always in fashion

If you have a country house or apartment with a veryhigh ceilings, it is worth taking a closer look at wood finishing. There are a lot of options here - from traditional classic coffered ceilings to decorating the ceiling with wooden (or wood-imitating) beams. And the hottest thing is parquet on the ceiling (as in the title photo of the article).

Tent for romantics

For romantic souls who read a lot in childhoodtales of Scheherazade, a tent ceiling will do. If you have an attic room, such decor will look very natural. But for straight ceilings, this is also a suitable option. A special cornice is laid along the perimeter, to which the fabric is attached, then converging in the center of the ceiling. The "knot" is masked by a chandelier.potolokspec.ru/
