If you’ve been thinking about updating your ceilings, but you don’t know where to start, ceiling tiles are the perfect solution to try. Whether you’re bored and looking for a project that won’t take much of your time, or you’re looking for ideas to completely transform your living space, ceiling tiles can help you with achieving any look that you desire. Here are just some of the things you can do:
Create a “ceiling accent cloud”
You can take faux tin ceiling tiles and apply them to a ceiling cloud, which is usually mounted above the kitchen island and serves as a focus point for the entire room. It’s basically a slightly lowered portion of the ceiling decorated usually with ceiling tiles and trimming. You can either hang light fixtures on it, hang your pots and pans, or just leave it as is. Use tin tiles to give the cloud a bolder look and elevate the look of your kitchen.
Opt for a coffered ceiling
Coffered ceilings, whether low or deep, provide architectural emphasis for your space and give your ceilings some depth. It’s great for highlighting the ceiling as it draws attention upwards with it’s depth.
Textured Colours
Who says you can only apply paint to your ceiling directly. You can easily layer on some texture with styrofoam ceiling tiles. They come unfinished, so they can easily be painted to the colour of your choice. Choose a pattern that you like and paint the tiles once you glue them up. This will give your ceiling an interesting pattern while keeping the colour you prefer. Just remember not to paint them before you install them, as some tiles may be sensitive and could get warped by the wet paint.
3D patterns
You can also find some interesting 3D wall panels and mount them on an accent wall. This will give your rooms just the right amount of accent without overwhelming the eye. Elegant wall panels come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Wavy, circular and geometric patterns are great for modern interior decor. You can also find panels that imitate wood or stone to emphasise a particular wall.
Accent walls with ceiling tiles
Just when you think that ceiling tiles can’t get more versatile than they already are, you learn about yet another way you can use them in home decor. For a quick and easy accent wall, group them together in a particular order to give the room an easy artistic accent. You can also do this with faux leather panels, which allows for a sophisticated and elegant look.
These easy-to-do DIY projects can all be completed in a few hours. All you need is a vision and a little patience, and pretty soon, you’ll feel like you’ve moved to a different house. Ceiling tiles and wall panels are the simplest solutions for decorating your home on a budget.
