Some general trends in Ceiling design :

·         Accessorize:   If you want to attract attention to your ceilings and if they are high enough; Quirky, distinctive lighting is the way to go.   Chandeliers are a classic and new led light fixtures are catching up fast as well.  They not only illuminate the room beautifully in a soft glow they also are incredibly energy efficient and powerful when needed.

·         Pastel Colours: Another design classic still relevant today is using pastel colours and keeping it simple.  A colour coordinated ceiling in light pastel hues gives the impression of space.

·         POP designs:  As always having wall-to-wall designs in POP on the ceilings is a beautiful way to add a touch of class to ceilings.  Floral and crisscrossing patterns are the flavours of the season.

·         Wood Inlays / Recessed Lighting in Ceilings: To really distinguish and provide presence to the room using the ceilings a recent trend has been to use wooden inlays in the ceilings.  Varying from Mahogany wood to lighter balsam varieties.  They provide an earthy, natural feel to the room. This practice is often paired with having recessed lighting in the ceiling behind these wooden inlays.  This practice provides an almost hotel like luxury feel to the room and is a step up from a simple false ceiling. 

·         Integrated Skylights in Ceilings:  Finally a new concept, which has to be incorporated into the construction phase, is integrated skylights in the ceilings.  On the upper floors this provides a beautiful illumination with soft natural light through the ceiling.  Furthermore, It gives the room an airy feeling and provides a view unto the heavens at night.
