Ceilings are usually forgotten in a home renovation, because let’s be honest here: how often do you actually look up? But convert that flat, white and boring ceiling into something special, and your home is immediately on a whole new level playing field. It’s a great surface to try out outrageous design ideas, but it’s also a great way to introduce subtle touches that make all the difference. If you’re thinking of leaving your ceiling empty, these dazzling ceiling designs should change your mind:
&nbsp;
1. The rest of the furnishings were deliberately kept simple in order to cast the focal point onto the ceiling. The thin wood slats accentuate the length of the space, while the wood tones bring much needed warmth.
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-54344" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/Artistroom-Harbour-View-Towers-Condo-1.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="640" />

&nbsp;
2. A sponge paint effect was done on the ceiling and on one side of the walls using gold paint against a dark grey background.
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-35710" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/akihaus-PasirRisHDB-4.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="675" />

&nbsp;
3. The wooden lines of this custom bookshelf extend beyond its full height to reach across the ceiling, giving height and length to the study room.
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-17818" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/DISTINCTidENTITY-DFresco-07.jpg" alt="" width="823" height="960" />

&nbsp;
4. Hard to find room for your extensive art collection? Hang them on your ceiling instead. Incorporate a few recessed panels to frame your artwork.
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-46471" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/FuseConcept-Livia-2.jpg" alt="" width="639" height="960" />
Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/fuse-concept/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fuse Concept</a>
&nbsp;
5. Nothing says drama like a black ceiling. You don’t have to paint it entirely black though. Keep a part of the wall in a contrasting hue – like white – for depth. Cove lights here soften the divide between the white ceiling panel and the rest of the black-painted surface.
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12224" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/edgeinterior-451ASengkang-01.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" />
Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/edge-interior/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Edge Interior</a>
&nbsp;
6. Using slim wood planks placed on their sides rather than flat, this ceiling design runs diagonally across the living room, narrowing as it goes along to create visual movement.
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-173896" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/6-DISTINCTidENTITY-SerangoonCentral-01.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="549" />
Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/distinctidentity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">DistinctIdentity</a>
&nbsp;
7. Want to gaze at the stars while you fall asleep? Incorporate fibre-optic lights onto a black-swathed ceiling.
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-173897" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/7-fsi-sengkang-bto.jpg" alt="" width="427" height="640" />
Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/free-space-intent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Free Space Intent</a>
&nbsp;
8. A waffle of open cubbies were introduced onto the ceiling of the homeowner’s studio for visual interest as well as to hide the recessed lights.
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-173898" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/8-lekkar-tanjong-rhu.png" alt="" width="346" height="522" />
Design: Lekkar
&nbsp;
9. Rather than carve out an entire tray ceiling to incorporate the orange glow of the cove lights, several rectangle pockets were punctuated across the length of this dining room to create a subtle elegance without being overbearing.
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-173899" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/9-ReztRelax-Peach-Garden-3.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="894" />

&nbsp;
11. Black slate tiles covering a side panel and the ceiling in this semi-open bathroom draw attention to the shower space and the area where the standalone bathtub rests.
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-173901" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/11-akihaus-ChiselhurstGrove-26.jpg" alt="" width="688" height="960" />

&nbsp;
13. Going for the industrial look? Let your ceiling look like no work has been done on it at all by covering it with cement screed.
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-173905" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/13-ThreeDConceptwerke-WonMonChew-7.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1280" />

14. A bohemian style home gets most of its character from the deliberately unfinished effect done on its ceiling.
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-173903" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/14-TheDesignMinistry-Ivory-2.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="532" />

&nbsp;
15. For a rustic look, wooden beams were used to create a resort feel to this home. To tie in the look together, the designer had the mahogany tones of the beams match the dining set.

&nbsp;
17. Instead of merely functioning as a way to hold up lighting cables, the hooks were decked out throughout the apartment's ceiling to serve as a unique design element. It also lends a certain edge to this industrial themed space.
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12684" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/fsi-serangoonave-01.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="427" />

&nbsp;
18. A long ceiling panel stretches across the length of this living and dining room open concept combination in order to add visual depth to the space and to conceal the warm cove lights.
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-173906" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/18-ReztRelax-Costa-Del-Sol3-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="673" />

&nbsp;
20. Hexagonal panels cascade upwards in an untidy fashion so that it will appear more organic. Certain pockets within the panels were removed to conceal the recessed lights that illuminate this dining area.

&nbsp;
22. To draw attention to the unusual layout of this apartment, the designer decided to outline the zones with ceiling beams inserted with recessed lights. They were painted in taupe to contrast against the white background.

&nbsp;
27. The show-stopping cement-screed ceiling was designed in such a way as to set the different areas apart in this open-plan space. The living area features a round ceiling shape anchored by the ceiling fan, while the dining area features a rectangle shape defined by a row of pendants.
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-173915" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/27-Poetus-TreasureTrove-12.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="960" />

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-173919" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/31-M3Studio-Woodlands-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" />
