14 Unique Ceiling Decor Ideas to Spice Up a Boring Ceiling

1. Get Creative With Grid-Pattern Faux Wood Beams Over a Planked Ceiling

This modern, white kitchen uses Driftwood Faux Wood Beams installed over a white planked ceiling for an ultra-luxurious look.

The recessed lighting above the kitchen is perfectly framed by the criss-cross beam design, while the wood-planked ceiling adds extra depth to the room.

2. Create an Inspiring, Yet Delicate Ceiling Design in a Small Space

Ceiling beams don’t have to be huge! This office features wood beams with a small height and width that don’t overwhelm the space. To complement the beam design, this homeowner installed crown molding and a hanging light fixture in the middle.

3. Use Faux Wood Panels to Accentuate a Unique Ceiling Pitch

This chic living space has wall-to-ceiling lines you don’t see often!

Bright white ceiling beams matching the wood trim around the room bring the look together.

4. Use an Asymmetrical Ceiling to Your Advantage

This ceiling decor idea makes great use of the large skylights and asymmetrical ceiling pitch. Here, Driftwood Faux Wood Beams in Light Oak almost serve two purposes: as ceiling beams and as columns.

The beams that sit on the floor appear as though they’re supporting the skylights, and the ceiling beams spread across the living room, making the space feel wider.

5. Think Outside of the Color Box to Boost Creativity

Wood ceiling beams don’t have to look all-natural!

This ceiling decor idea features Barron Designs’ Hand Hewn Faux Beams that were ordered unfinished and then hand-painted at home. The homeowner also used classic beam straps to further customize the look.

6. Wallpaper Your Ceiling

Wallpaper is more versatile than you think! Instead of sticking it to the walls, pick a colorful wallpaper and put it on the ceiling.

This living space uses a fun floral print that adds interest and whimsy to the room. For another natural touch of distinction, a wood beam is installed across the apex of the ceiling.

Now that's unique!
