Create a Pattern
You don't need to use wild colors and prints to create a unique and playful bathroom. Take, for example, this neutral-hued space by Leanne Ford Interiors.

Arrange Panels Horizontally
Installing wood panels vertically will elongate your ceiling, but if you'd rather make a room feel wider, considering arranging them horizontally. This will be especially useful in a smaller space, like a bathroom, as exemplified here.

Embolden Beams With a Mural
In this Mediterranean-style dining room, the elaborate iron wrought door and chandelier, imposing dining table, and bold antique carpet are only surpassed in intricate beauty by the stylized ceiling of exposed beams framing a mural. Because the carpet makes such an eye-catching impression, the ceiling does a nice job of containing the space for a full jewel box effect. The thoughtful design of the space ensures a truly magical setting for intimate dining and conversation.

Paint It White
Interior designer Andrew Flesher restored his historic White Plains home with bursts of fun colors, unexpected pattern play (who knew banana leaf fabric and a tight houndstooth print carpet could complement each other so nicely?), and gallons of bright white paint.

Embrace the Architectural Quirks

She played up the dark, mysterious energy of the wood shiplap with a burnt orange pendant and shaggy faux fur carpet but then asserted a sense of whimsy with pink and purple gingham and floral prints.

Wooden ceilings in a private house usually involve the use of two main types of material for this. The most popular finishing panels are:
- Clapboard "calm" : a fairly popular material that is used to decorate ceilings. Its long sides are made with a special groove and recess in such a way that when they are connected, the so-called “recessed-shelf” is not formed, that is, the surface is absolutely even. It looks especially beautiful when the ceiling is decorated with a wide “calm” clapboard. nine0052
- Lining Euro : Whiter expensive option, but much better. It is made mainly from high quality wood. The main emphasis is on the absence of knots, resin smudges and cracks.
It undergoes better processing on four sides on expensive machines. On the back there is a recess for moisture removal and ventilation. The front side has a perfectly even and smooth surface that does not require additional processing. nine0059 - Hi-tech;
- Country;
- Modern;
- Chalet;

Natural stone will give the interior elegance and respectability
A well-chosen color combination of the ceiling and walls, combined with a fireplace, will give the room a truly homely feel
A snow-white bedroom with wide spacious windows looks just great
Art Nouveau style
The main task This style combines various types of material, natural and artificial origin. The use of wood is a fundamental component of interior design, it can be both on the floor, and on the ceiling and walls. The main thing is that it does not violate the overall harmony of the interior. nine0003

Eco style
Eco is a derivative of the word ecology. From here it is not difficult to understand that the eco style provides for decoration only environmentally friendly material created by nature itself.
However, the use of natural materials is not one of the most important conditions for this style, it is very important to preserve their original appearance and appearance. The texture of wood should be clearly visible, and its color palette should be as close to natural as possible.
Eco country house interior design
Unfortunately, it is impossible to ensure that harmful substances do not participate in the processing of wood and at the same time their cost does not increase. A tree treated with environmentally friendly impregnations will cost a lot, but believe me, it's worth it, in return you will get crystal clear air in the house and a feeling of complete solitude with nature.
The use of other natural materials in the decoration, such as decorative gypsum tiles, is also welcome.
Floor-to-ceiling windows, a fireplace, a decorative brick wall, a beautiful sofa with a coffee table are the perfect combination to create a truly cozy atmosphere in the house.
Eco design loves space and good lighting. It is problematic to make the most of all the possibilities of this style in an apartment; a large country house with high ceilings and spacious rooms is perfect for these purposes. This is where you can truly let your imagination run wild.
It is important to remember that eco style requires good lighting
Wooden ceilings will look good not only in the house, but also in other outbuildings. One style will avoid sharp boundaries between different zones.

Quite exotic and new style for Russian latitudes. However, in recent years it has been gaining more and more popularity. The main materials used in the decoration: stone and wood. Particular attention is paid to the design of ceilings, they are mainly made of boards or wooden panels, painted in dark colors.
nine0003
The wooden ceiling in the Japanese interior is an integral part of it.
Remember that the Japanese style does not like experiments, it is characterized by minimalism and restraint. Dilute the interior is allowed only with decorative elements related to the style of the theme.
Japanese style loves restraint. It has straight lines and simple shapes
No matter what style you choose for your interior, it is important to remember that the ceilings in the house play a special, if not the main role in it. nine0003
