When creating the optimal design for your living room, take every element into account. Figure out how you want to begin your design story and don’t overlook areas such as ceilings, trim work, and textures. Tackle one of the most neglected components in living rooms - the ceiling - with some helpful tips and tricks!

Pro tip #1: Decorate for ceiling height

High ceilings call for more elaborate details/decoration to fill up space. When a ceiling is too simple for its height, the room can appear somewhat empty. Feel free to try your boldest selections here, like a deep or shallow coffer. Remember, too, that the right texture or pattern can transform your living room ceiling without feeling too drastic.

For lower ceilings, try simpler designs, and opt for ceiling types that don’t eat up extra head space. To visually enlarge this space, stay with lighter-toned finishes and lots of bright lighting or natural light if you have it. Incorporate a wood-look plank for subtle interest.

Pro tip #2: Function and location

Today a living room can be the perfect epicenter for family gatherings, an inviting entertainment center for friends, and/or a refuge for relaxation. Considering the function and location of your living room will help narrow down ceiling choices to fit your needs.

For example, for living rooms located in the basement, acoustical properties and mold and mildew resistance are likely a top concern. Your basement may already have a suspended ceiling grid system in place (or you can add one). Take advantage of the grid and install decorative panels with added performance features to match your décor.
