Your home design is not complete without a functional and fine-looking dining room ceiling. Yet many homeowners focus much more on floors, walls, furniture, and forget to look overhead.
So instead of the ordinary dull-looking white ceiling, you want to explore more creative dining room ceiling design ideas.
Luckily, there’s no limit to what you can do to a dinner room ceiling. Apart from trying different shapes, styles and colors, you can also go with the various ceiling materials.
Blend Your Ceiling into Your Dining Room Design
Anyone can tweak their dining room ceiling to match an existing theme, whether you have a huge dining hall or a sizable one.
Some ceiling designs may involve architectural work, while others are as simple as doing some paintwork, adding a wallpaper, incorporating art and craft, and so on.
To get a uniform design, make sure you choose a ceiling that blends with your furniture, flooring, and decoration.
Again, what fits one space may look weird in another set up. For instance, an arched ceiling looks good in an antique dining room, but is definitely not the right pick for a modern-style refectory.
Dining Room Ceiling Design Ideas
1. Sunken/Coffered ceiling
If you’re familiar with the idea of a sunken floor then a sunken or coffered ceiling is the direct opposite.
Instead of a flat ceiling, sink a focal point of any shape, whether round, rectangle or triangle to act as the overhead focal point in your dining hall.
If you like, you can make the sunken area more attractive by painting or decorating it.
2. Tiled Ceiling
Adding elements of mosaic on a ceiling is a unique twist. It brings back the detail in the old cathedrals and looks even better in a dome-shape ceiling.
3. Striped ceiling
Stripes can help engage an idle ceiling without messing up your design. This can be achieved by painting or adding a striped wallpaper that matches your theme.
4. Curved ceiling
An arched or curved ceiling is a unique twist, especially if you have an old-style meal-area.
Curved ceilings can be further decorated with drawings and art-and-craft designs for a luxurious classic look.
5. Exposed-beam ceiling
If industrial and rustic are the dominant themes in your home then an exposed beam and brick ceiling can help complement its looks.
Flaunt all elements of architecture like wooden beans, bricks and plumbing material to achieve an industrial appeal.
6. Metal-plate ceiling
Installing a thin pre-designed metallic plate on your ceiling is an excellent way to add industrial elements to your modern kitchen.
Indeed, it shouts industrial, but it looks better when used to break the material monotony in modern designs.
7. Wooden ceiling
Wooden ceilings can fit in any space and offer you the flexibility you need when it comes to stains, hues and styles.
Natural wood is perfect for a dining room ceiling because it is durable and stain resistant. It is also easy to refurbish, and the best pick for cold areas.
