Forget Statement Walls, This Year is All About Ceilings

Interiors filled with farmhouse-inspired architectural features and decorative accents are still having a big moment, but we’re ready for a new approach to this trendy design aesthetic. With shiplap walls becoming a popular choice for those with a more rustic sense of style, it only feels natural to take it one step further and work those elements all the way up to the ceilings, too. If you’re looking to bring some farmhouse chic vibes into your home, using these wooden boards for an update is one no-fail way to go. Let them be the main feature or spruce them up with swoon-worthy lighting fixtures for some added romantic flair.

Bold, modern statements certainly have their appeal, but that doesn't mean there's no room for traditional standouts. While it may not be as easy as rolling on a fresh coat of paint, a coffered ceiling will instantly add depth and class to any room. You can always paint the beams or the recessed areas in different shades to create contrast, but this tone on tone palette complements the edgy elements featured in the rest of the room to perfection.

Achieve a cabin-inspired feel in your own home by skipping standard ceiling options and going with a choice that has a bit more rustic charm. Natural wood planks add tons of farmhouse style to any room of the house. While the colors of natural wood vary, this lighter option will help to keep any interior feeling bright and airy. When paired with crisp white walls and low-key furniture and decor, it will ensure your space feels bigger than ever and perfectly dreamy. Craving some contrasts? Bring in small touches, like a darker window frame or a headboard, to add definition and warmth.

A total overhaul definitely has jaw-dropping appeal, but the price tag associated with a renovation can get a bit too hefty. If you’re lusting after an update, but don’t want to commit to a big project, a simple coat of paint can alleviate your transformation cravings. A bold wall is one thing, but a brightly painted ceiling pops in a whole new way. The best part? If you’re not totally in love with the color you’ve chosen, you can easily try out another option until you’re perfectly pleased with your choice.
