Update a plain white ceiling with a decorative treatment.
Boring bedroom ceilings can get a makeover with decorative treatments. Plain white ceilings can give way to decorative embellishments that draw the eye upward as you enter the room. Many options are available, allowing you to find something that will fit with your current bedroom decor. Consider your style and budget before selecting the best ceiling treatment for your room.
Faux Tray Ceiling
Tray ceilings are a popular decorative element, particularly in master bedrooms. If your bedroom wasn't designed with a tray ceiling, you can create the illusion of one with this ceiling treatment. Paint bands of color around the edge of the room to give the ceiling visual depth. A shaded appearance is created where each band ends by painting a one-inch line in a darker shade of the same color. You can also use decorative molding on the ceiling a few inches in from the wall to create the illusion of depth.
Tin Tiles
Tin ceiling tiles are often found in the kitchen but they can also work in a bedroom. Consider how well the tin look will blend with your bedroom decor. Tin tiles come with a variety of stamped patterns, giving you some flexibility in the design. You will also find the ceiling tiles available in different metal finishes for a better match to other surfaces in the room.
Beadboard
Beadboard is a type of wood paneling with evenly spaced grooves in the wood. It is typically used on walls but can add visual interest to a ceiling for a creative treatment. The grooves in the beadboard add texture and depth to the ceiling. Crown molding along the edges of the ceiling create a finished look for the ceiling treatment. You can stain the beadboard for a wood grain look or paint it as you would a regular ceiling.
Ceiling Medallion
A ceiling medallion is a simple way to dress up a bedroom. The medallion is placed around the light fixture connection at the ceiling. It adds architectural detail and interest to the light fixture area. You'll find ceiling medallions in a variety of materials, from wood to metal, and varying designs, ranging from simple to very ornate. Many can be painted for added visual interest.
