Ceilings, also known as the fifth wall, are equally as important as the other four or more that make up a room. The professionals know that for maximum impact in any space, the ceiling is a wonderful canvas for wood beams, lacquer, or even wallpaper. Take a look at some of our favorite statement ceilings created by top interior designers!
Modern meets Rustic
The eye immediately travels skyward following the simple yet impactful lines of these wood beams. An otherwise simple dining room is transformed into a space with great character and appeal by the height of the ceiling and dark tone of the timbers.
Bold and Bright
From the herringbone patterned floors to the high-gloss paint in an electric shade of blue, Celerie Kemble left no inch of this space void of personality.
Clean and Uncluttered
The intentional uncluttered layout of this dining room allows each element to shine on its own. The clean yet interesting design in this ceiling landed it a spot on our list.
Gentleman’s Parlor
The dark ceiling in this gentleman’s study evokes a masculine sophistication that ties in beautifully with the custom mural.
A Mountain Lodge
Deep-green accents complement the wood tones in the family room. Interior designer Phyllis Taylor says the deer motif began unexpectedly with a trip to New York’s Chelsea, where she discovered a shop that offered multiple oil paintings of deer and antlers.
Subtle and Sunny
Statement ceilings don’t have to be busy to impact the look and feel of a space. In this case, the wood panels on the ceiling are the same color and material as the walls, but the addition of beams adds interest and keeps the room feeling open and bright.
Julian Price House
For added texture and interest, Maria James covered this ceiling in a gorgeous damask grass cloth. The subtle pattern draws the eye up just enough, but it does not take away from the other carefully constructed elements in the kitchen.
Cypress Ceiling
“We are in love with the pecky cypress ceiling and spent many hours on its details during construction,” says designer Melinda James. In our opinion, this was time well spent!
A Whimsical Parlor
Leave it to Miles Redd to create a space that feels equally as exciting as it is elegant. The lively shade of blue wouldn’t have the effect that it does without the whimsical ceiling that seamlessly ties everything together.
A Stunning Entrance
The gorgeous dark wood ceiling offers the perfect contrast to the cream paint color used on the walls and trim. This foyer makes quite an impression on anyone who enters the home!
Traditional Style
One of the bolder statement ceilings we have seen, this curated bedroom boasts an eye-catching pattern that runs from the bed skirt all the way to the ceiling. These colors were selected based on the homeowner’s existing collections.
