9 Ceiling Ideas That Make A Huge Impact

DIY ceiling makeovers should be your next DIY home project

They call the ceiling sometimes the 5th wall, and boy do people forget about it. I know we have overlooked this space before or haven’t really given our ceiling much thought. However, we do think about the ceiling design, it has had a huge impact on our home decor.

The best thing about ceiling makeovers is that most of the time they can be a DIY project. If you haven’t looked at your ceilings lately…

it might be time.

What can I put on my ceiling?

1. Drop Ceiling with new drop ceiling tiles. You won’t believe all the different styles you can achieve and not have that old office building feeling.

2. Tin Tiles

3. Currograted Tin

4. Paint-even just a fresh coat of ceiling paint can make the world of difference.

5. Wallpaper (yes, wallpaper)

6. Murals-think of a more modern mural and not the Sistine Chapel (unless that is your thing of course)

7. Texture using classic plaster

8. Different types of molding

9. A real beam or a faux wooden beam to create that farmhouse feel

10. Architecture details to create texture such as coffered ceilings

11. Drapped fabric

12. Tongue-and-grooved wood for a textured look

13. Beadboard

14. Drywall

15. Decals that could go up the wall on the ceiling

Do you need help deciding what color of paint to use for your ceiling?

We recently just tried Samplize and it totally beats having to buy individual paint samples. These 12″ x 12″ samples will get shipped directly to you and save the hassle of clean-up (we loved that). Check out the brands you can get here.

Don’t forget to pin for later!
