The bedroom speaks of comfort. As David Hicks had said “The best rooms have something to say about the people who live in them”, a bedroom is not only a place that makes you feel calm and relaxed but is also a reflection of your personality.
The ceiling plays a huge part in bringing a space together. However, this aspect is often overlooked. While the primary function of a false ceiling is to conceal wires and make the space soundproof, this element if aesthetically designed can alone bring out life in any type of space.
9 False Ceiling Design Options to Complete the Perfect Bedroom
The following are some of the false ceiling options that one can choose for the bedroom ceiling:
1. Wooden Ceiling
A plain room with a wooden ceiling can make the space feel cosier and warmer. A wooden ceiling also gives a natural touch to the space, making it the highlight of the room. When designed properly one can achieve any style from Scandinavian to Contemporary with this particular element.
Example 1: Planks throughout the ceiling
Example 2: White wood
Example 3: Rustic wood
2. Coved Ceiling
Perfect for a smaller bedroom, this simple yet sophisticated ceiling type is one of the best options to go with. Cove makes the ceiling look more refined adding an illusion of higher height to the room making it look more spacious.
Example:
3. Moulded Ceiling
This vintage yet chic form of the ceiling can be attained by installing precast moulds along with the corners of the room. Not only do they conceal the rough edges but also add ornamentation to a plain boring bedroom.
4. Coffered false ceiling
Originated from the Renaissance period, this ancient form of ceiling is characterised by sunken square/rectangular panels which focus on the faux beams that run throughout. This gives a feel of texture and depth making the ceiling an eye-catching element that gives the space a high-end touch.
5. Tray ceiling
Tray ceiling, also known as recessed or reversed ceiling, focuses on the central part of the roof. This particular form compliments all styles of architecture and design. The drop-down gives an illusion of a melting ceiling that meets with the wall.
6. Ceiling with Wallpaper
This can be one of the most budget-friendly yet exquisite looking techniques for designing a false ceiling. Wallpaper ceiling is extremely easy to install. Even with the most subtle form they can become the focal point, adding muted colours and texture to the room. These when combined with other forms of ceiling such as moulded and tray can instantly add an artsy touch to the space.
7. Glass in false ceiling
Stained glass with paintings is an ancient technique of decorating the ceiling. This false ceiling can give the roof a gothic feel. Also, with proper lighting underneath, the stained glass can cast shadows of various colours covering the room.
8. Experiment with shapes
One can also choose to break the monotony of square and rectangle by experimenting with shapes in the false ceiling. These shapes can be circle, polygons or layered free-flowing lines.
9. Simple and Beautiful
As the phrase goes “Beauty lies in simplicity” depending on personal choice one can even opt for a plain ceiling with either a fancy fan or a plain ceiling with a neutral or bold colour.
