Wallpaper, beautiful paint, some framed paintings, a credenza with a stylish lamp – yes, there are numerous options in which we can give a boring old room some glamour, but how many times do we allow that glamour to extend upwards towards the ceiling?

Unfortunately, far too many of us are satisfied with a dull splash of paint covering up that ceiling and instead choose to focus on the rest of the room via furnishings and décor. Well, no more, for today we take a look at some stylish ways in which your ceiling can (deservedly) gain a much more appealing look, regardless of whether it’s in your rustic kitchenmodern living room, or another space altogether.

1. Ever thought of playing with paint colours that differ slightly in hue, letting, for example, your ceiling beams sport a deeper tone?

2. Who says that the ceiling can’t be dark (much darker) than the walls or floors?

3. How about good ol’ timber panels coating up the floor, walls and ceiling for a consistent look?

4. Thanks to brilliant lighting fixtures, one can now get super creative with ceiling downlighers.

5. Patterned stucco ceilings were trendy for a reason – perhaps it’s time to bring it back?

6. For a raw and subtle look, nothing beats a simple concrete surface.

7. How about just splashing a new colour on those ceiling beams to make them more prominent? Just ensure the colour is repeated in your décor.

8. Wood is wonderfully versatile, meaning you can opt for a timber-clad ceiling in literally any design or style.

9. Simple paint in geometric patterns? A subtle touch that can look most stylish.

From one surface to another; let’s see how you can Add some WOW to your brick walls.
