Above and Beyond

When it comes to designing our homes, we often focus on the walls, floors, and furniture, but what about the fifth wall—the ceiling? Yes, that overhead expanse of blank space is actually a canvas waiting to be adorned with creativity and style! Our team at Semmelmann Interiors knows just how to take a ceiling from bland to grand! Don’t settle for a flat, boring ceiling when there’s an opportunity for color, moulding, and texture. Adding color or patterns to your ceiling can completely transform a room. A bold, vibrant color can create a sense of coziness, while a patterned ceiling adds visual interest and can even make a small room feel larger. Another tip for increasing the illusion of space is to incorporate mirrored or metallic finishes on the ceiling to reflect light. This is particularly useful in smaller rooms or areas with low ceilings. Architectural details like beams, domes, and vaults add drama and sophistication to any room. Even in modern spaces, these traditional elements can be used to create striking contrast and draw the eye upward. Consider using lighting to highlight architectural details or create a focal point in the room. Ceiling lights are not just functional; they should also be a design statement! From chandeliers and pendant lights to recessed lighting and skylights, the options are endless. Whether you're adding color, texture, lighting, architectural details, or reflective surfaces, the sky's the limit when it comes to ceilings! We'll go above and beyond to bring your design vision to life! Design/image credit to @tarekalkhattab @studia_54 @luxxumoderndesignliving
