Style Tip: Tray ceilings are also the best place to hold pops of colours, murals, mirrors, flushed lights, mounted panels and sky lights in bedroom ceiling design.
11. The Crowning Glory of Modern Bedroom Ceiling Design
For a more regal approach to bedroom ceiling design, choose an intricate cornice to wrap around the room. It’s a simple enough embellishment that softens the sharp corners of a room and provides visual relief. A crown moulding can also be used to create a matching frame for opulent chandeliers and lavish lighting.
Style Tip: Even if your bedroom ceiling design has a chandelier or an accent lighting piece at the centre of it, the addition of recessed lights can ensure soft lighting when you’re in the mood to relax and unwind.
12. An Industrial Chic Modern Bedroom Ceiling Design
Concrete flooring has been at the front and centre of the industrial chic design trend. Versatile, strong, durable, low on cost and easy to maintain, it’s no wonder the material is now making its way to room ceiling design too. It’s not the easiest look to pull off and it can feel impersonal and cold, especially in a bedroom setting. So it’s important to pair it with soft-edged furniture and comforting accents such as the large light-wood windows seen here. While an abundance of natural light is not a prerequisite to picking concrete ceilings, too little light can make the room seem like a cave-like dungeon. A multi-layered approach to lighting can help cosy up the room.
Style Tip: To make sure a concrete bedroom ceiling design doesn’t come off as a sterile and impersonal space, pair it with contrasting elements in warmer tones and richer textures. Think velvet, satin and wool for furnishings and warm wooden tones for larger furniture pieces.
13. A Bold Statement for Modern Bedroom Ceiling Design
What’s bolder than a concrete ceiling? A ceiling painted in all black. Not for the fainthearted, a room ceiling design such as this is better suited to design-forward homes. Still, if you choose a dark tone for the ceiling, stick to a muted or earthy colour palette for the rest of the bedroom.
Style Tip: A dark ceiling can seriously limit the amount of light in the room so light sources need to be employed across the room, as seen here in the wardrobe as well as through the generous use floor and table lamps and pendant lights.
14. Simple Children’s Modern Bedroom Ceiling Design: Playful Cutouts
Bedrooms for kids can also be greatly enhanced with a simple false ceiling design. As with other bedrooms, reflect the interior design style of your room onto the false ceiling. If your child’s bedroom is designed to be whimsical, spray the ceiling in a matching manner. A dreamy look can be echoed with dimmable lights and hovering ceilings. A sporty glimpse can be achieved with ceiling cutouts that showcase your child’s favourite sport. Treat the false ceiling in the kids’ bedroom like a blank canvas and watch the joy play out on your children’s faces when they see the outcome.
