Take your décor to new heights

Most of the time, we think about ceilings as just a blank place at the top of our walls. Instead, think of ceilings as a fifth wall that can be enhanced to add character and beauty or make your rooms seem more spacious.

Some changes involve major structural renovations, such as:

• Warm wood beams
• Rustic wood slats
• Vaulted ceilings
• Raising the roof to add a row of windows
• Cutting through the roof to install skylights

For these dramatic changes, you’ll need to hire a contractor (and maybe even an engineer) to advise you and do the work, keeping in mind structural issues in your home.

More ideas for enhancing a room’s ceiling

Other ceiling enhancements are easier to complete such as:

• Crown molding on or near the ceiling
• Coffered ceilings
• Coved ceilings
• Hollow beams that don’t add weight to your home’s structure
• Contrasting paint color, either darker or lighter than wall paint
• Stencils or murals
• Faux paint finishes

Take your home environment to a higher level – and don’t forget about the ceilings!
