Beyond Drywall: Adding Dimension to Your Ceiling

If you’ve read any of our previous blogs, you know we’re big fans of drywall. It’s one of the most versatile and useful materials in the construction industry, it’s more flame-retardant and eco friendly than other materials, and it can be fitted to just about any space you can imagine. However, sometimes a wide span of the same material (including the beloved drywall) can be a little boring.

Modern interior decorating is all about thinking outside the box, and the Orlando drywall installation team at New Ceilings is all about imaginative design. Here are a few ways to give your ceiling a little extra dimension:

• Install decorative lighting. Lighting is one of the easiest ways to create depth in any space. The best part about it is that your options are almost unlimited, depending on what feeling you want to set in the room. If you’re looking for a little ambiance, add some low lighting behind your drop tray ceiling. For something classical, invest in an eye-catching chandelier.

• Add a splash of color. Who said that paint can only be used on walls? Treat a section of your ceiling like an accent wall and create a splash of color to catch the eye. This technique works especially well with drop-tray ceilings or areas with cutouts, but you can paint any ceiling in your home if your heart desires. Play around with finishes and shades to see what works best.
• Put up a few decorative tiles. For real texture, decorative acoustic tiles can’t be beat. Whether you decide to install a stripe or cover the whole ceiling, you can find ceiling tiles in a rainbow of colors, finishes, and even patterns and textures. If you’re looking to go a more natural route, modern decorators often install wood panels in sections for a stunning contrast.

Modern interior design has reclaimed the ceiling and transformed it from something purely functional into something beautiful and fun. Decorating your ceiling can make your space look entirely different – whether you want to make it look bigger, cozier, or brighter, you can find a design that works for your space.
