In 2024, homeowners are turning their attention upwards... and embracing the concept of the ‘statement ceiling’.
What is a Statement Ceiling?
The ceiling, or fifth wall as it is more recently being referred to, is a surface that is frequently disregarded in lieu of a quick coat of white paint. However, when given the thought it merits, it may truly make a big difference in the interior design.
Paiting your ceiling black might seem counter-intuitive, but it's the secret to cozy, cool rooms right now. @the_london_treehouse we adore the ambiance of this room, and our plaster ceiling rose (code LPR049) looks perfect here.
Why should you decorate your Ceiling?
Often, we just examine the four walls of each room when selecting paint and wallpaper while trying to decide among all the colour trends available to really nail a colour plan for a complete home. However, experts concur that’s a grave error. Recently a shift in trends has taken place, declaring accent walls out of style in favour of colour drenching and something equally as exciting - the statement ceiling.
The majority of us tend to default to a white ceiling, but this may be a really wasted chance to give a space another level of design. Using the fifth wall as an accent wall can improve the design of your space and provide a striking point of focus.
Statement Ceiling Ideas
So, how creative are you? We’ll never get bored of seeing Alana’s ceiling @delve.interiors which features amazing Renaissance inspired wallpaper... it’s truly magnificent. Alana paired this with our ceiling rose (Plain Acanthus 610mm dia. MPR061) and elegant plaster coving (Swan Neck 100mm MPC065).
Bold Colours
Though accent ceilings are rarely given the attention that walls receive, they can be a really stylish and fun way to add colour to a room. This is especially true when combined with a unique statement light fixture, ceiling rose, coving, and a colour-popping or wall-papered ceiling.
Textures & Materials
Adding plaster cornice, coving or ceiling moulding can completely transform the feel and look of a living space by adding depth and texture. A bonus of adding texture is that it can mask aesthetic problems with the ceiling like uneven parts and bumps.
Murals & Artwork
A single statement mural wall can give the impression that the room is smaller than it is because it makes the painted, papered, or panelled walls stand out in stark contrast to one another. The complete opposite to a colour-drenched room, which feels expansive and engulfing. Decorative artwork on a ceiling doesn’t provide that half-done feeling that an accent wall does as the ceiling covers the entirety of the space. Featured below is our Art Deco Floral Ceiling Rose (code MPR019).
Lighting Features
Statement lighting is lighting that serves as a focal point rather than fading into the background. Many of our customers pair our ceiling roses with unique pendant lights which add personality to a space and enable them to express their artistic side. A great example of this can be seen below. @the_edwardian_renovation combined our ‘Acanthus’ plaster ceiling rose, 610mm diameter (MPR061) with a spectacular fluffy cloud of iridescent baubles chandelier. We also adore their choice of paint ‘Sulking Room Pink’ @farrowandball. This is not an overtly pink, but rather a muted rose with enormous warmth... stunning!
Benefits of a Statement Ceiling
We say don’t be afraid of replacing the accent wall with an accent ceiling, it is a fantastic way to style a room, create instant impact, and ensure a unique, chic interior. The further addition of plaster cornice and roses can elevate your home decor to the next level, and could also add value to your property.
We stock many different coving designs, providing our clients with the best options of size and price. The cost of the cornice depends on the complexity of the design, prices start from £6.28 up to £28.12 per metre.
