The ceiling is often overlooked when it comes to building or renovating a home, but the shelter that protects your property deserves better than basic design. In fact, there a range of modern ceiling design ideas available to transform your ceiling into the highlight of the room. Whether it is paint, panelling, or even wallpaper, these designs can help your room feel larger and your ceiling seem higher, creating a different dimension for the interiors.

Our Favourite Ceiling Looks
Rustic Look
If you want your living room to have a rustic, natural look, there is no better way to achieve it than with an exposed wooden ceiling. We love this look when paired with wooden beams or panels, as it gives the home a unique farmhouse vibe that suits the Queensland atmosphere. Keen DIYers can install these beams themselves, creating a ceiling you can be proud to show off to impressed visitors. Those who wish to have the ceiling be the centrepiece of the room should keep the rest of the room neutral by having white walls and grey furniture.
Ceiling Tiles
When it comes to modern ceiling design, basic flat surfaces are out, and eye-popping textures are in. With that in mind, ceiling tile systems are an easy way to create a textured look for your ceiling without needing to measure and divide the materials yourself. Those looking to take the design further use glossy paint to colour the tiles, creating a bold yet stylish look for their home’s ceiling. Beyond their visual appeal, these tiles also offer benefits like insulation, sound dampening, and light reflection.
Metal
Metal ceilings are no longer condemned to the shed, as more and more Australians are choosing to finish their room with a metal skyline. While metal may not be a suitable ceiling look for a living room, it looks especially great in more social spaces, such as bar rooms, mancaves, and outdoor dining areas. Metal panelling is a classic Aussie look, but some creative homeowners are choosing to cut the material into different shapes to create unique designs. Those seeking a rustic feel can stick with a basic metal ceiling, while the design can also be glammed up by polishing or painting the material.
Stratopanel
While Stratopanel is less suitable for residential use, it features all the properties necessary for ceilings in commercial buildings that require the reduction of airborne pollutants. This is especially useful in places like hospitals, restaurants, gyms, and crowded offices. Though Stratopanel is primarily used for its built-in air purifying technology, its unique appearance is a highlight of modern ceiling design. The perforations present across the material create a seamless appearance that are sure to catch the eye of guests.
Wallpaper
Despite the name, wallpaper can be used for more than decorating the walls of your home. Whether it is a lovely floral arrangement or an astounding map of the stars, homeowners are starting to discover the unique visual style that print wallpaper gives their ceiling. This ceiling look also works well for commercial spaces, with business able to use designs and pictures that encapsulate their services. The best part about ceiling wallpaper is the raw creativity it offers, with everything from tasteful patterns to playful pictures being used to great effect.
