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 a ceiling design can have a huge impact on your home decor.

The best thing about ceiling makeovers is that they can usually be a DIY project. It might be time if you haven’t looked at your ceilings lately.

What can I put on my ceiling?

Drop Ceiling with new drop ceiling tiles. You won’t believe all the different styles you can achieve without having that old office building feeling.
Tin Tiles
Corrugated Tin
Paint- even just a fresh coat of ceiling paint can make a world of difference.
Wallpaper (yes, wallpaper)
Murals-think of a more modern mural and not the Sistine Chapel (unless that is your thing of course)
Texture using classic plaster
Different types of molding
A real beam or a faux wooden beam to create that farmhouse feel
Architecture details to create texture such as coffered ceilings
Draped fabric
Tongue-and-grooved wood for a textured look
Beadboard
Drywall
Decals that could go up the wall on the ceiling
