As 2017 comes to a close, you are looking forward to the holiday season. With friends and family visiting, you want to try something new for your home's interiors. You look up and find the same flat, white and boring ceiling. That is one part of your home neglected during the interior design process. Here are some quick, stylish and sustainable ideas for creative ceilings that work well for smaller rooms by Sudeep Kolte – VP Sales & Marketing, Saint Gobain India Pvt Ltd – Gyproc Business.
- A spacious room: To create a brighter and more spacious look for your room, adding glass-based windows or doors gives the feeling of elongated walls and interiors. As a result your ceiling looks higher than usual and provides the feeling of more space. Large glass windows also help usher in natural light, giving the feeling of a brighter and larger room. Adding tall mirrors and curtains of flowy texture are also simple tricks to help make the floor to ceiling height look larger.
- Re-do your ceilings: AIf you have a little more time on your hands, what about re-doing your ceiling? The concept of designer ceilings is now witnessing a sharp upward swing in both popularity and demand as a lifestyle choice. Home owners are increasingly choosing designer ceilings to create homes that are unique and elegant. Gypsum-based designer ceilings are particularly easy and quick to put up in your home. A designer ceiling with gypsum-based plasterboards takes anywhere from 1-2 weeks to complete, depending on the complexity. Hence, it can be done in as much time or faster than a paint job. Although many people think designer ceilings are expensive, they are a one-time investment that can usually last as long as a building. The major advantage of using plasterboards also provides your ceiling with an undulation-free and seamless finish. However, designer ceilings are not only about looking good and being cost-efficient. They also help you cut electricity bills by reducing the energy consumption caused by air conditioning in a room
- Ceilings and colour: Many times we avoid using bold colours in the smaller spaces of our homes. However, sometimes the large-scale graphic prints, especially the vertical stripes make for a great way to widen a narrow room. Tiny prints, on the other hand, can crowd up the space and make an already small room look smaller.
