For a midcentury modern style, don't be afraid to play with color. A cheerful burst of yellow brightens this living room design and white beams appropriately break up the bold hue.

Ceiling tiles are a great solution for spaces with unfortunate but necessary drop ceilings. In basements, drop ceilings allow instant access to leaky pipes or damaged wiring. Sure, the grids can be torn out, and drywall can go up; however, that’s a major headache. And if you can’t do it yourself, it’s also a major cost. Simply swap out unsightly foam tiles for raised panel tiles. This is a great project for people with beginner DIY skills. Often, the only tool needed is a utility knife to cut the end pieces to size.

Instead of using wood on the floor, this master bedroom flips the design. When applying wood to your ceiling consider a unique pattern to add interest.
