One of the nice things about remodeling a bathroom is that, because the square footage is relatively small, you can more easily afford higher-end products for the flooring. Ever thought about extending that creative freedom to the ceiling, too? You can give your bathroom a completely different look by changing the ceiling—and painting it is not your only option.
Hardwood planks are one way to drastically improve the luxury quotient in a bathroom. See how the hardwood ceiling adds drama and dimension here:
Bathrooms—with their porcelain fixtures, metal plumbing fixtures, and angular cabinets and counters—can easily look a bit cold or harsh. Hardwood beams bring nature indoors, adding a sense of warmth. Without wood for the ceiling, this bathroom would look a lot less luxurious and lot more austere:
Another material being used more often on ceilings (and walls, furniture, tub surrounds, and more) is bead board. Bead board is incredibly versatile, and its grooves add some much-needed texture to juxtapose against the smooth surfaces of tubs, basins, countertops, and commodes.
Another hot trend in bathroom ceiling décor is tin tiles. These are available in a huge variety of colors and patterns, making them versatile enough to work with almost any décor—from beach-cottage crisp to downtown opulent to farmhouse quaint.
If you’re one to soak in the tub, you probably spend quite a bit of time on your back in the bathroom. So, using something other than popcorn texture or plain old dry wall for the bathroom ceiling will not only add design interest but also be eye candy for you while you soak your worries away!
