Here are some great ideas to make your false ceiling at home look glamorous and give an uplifting effect to your home interiors.

Intricate carving on the false ceiling

Carvings have been used in architecture and design for a long time. It is a delicate process in which a skilled workman carves out a design on the false ceiling out of a solid material.

These days, POP is a common material that is used to make carved false ceilings for homes.

A false ceiling with coffers and grids

A false ceiling with a grid lends a spacious and geometric feel to the home. Coffered ceilings have a lot of depth and style and give a home a modern look.

Pastel shades like pink and other light colours look great for this kind of false ceiling. The design of a coffered false ceiling should highlight the grids and vertical/horizontal lines of the false ceiling.

Layered false ceiling

Layered false ceilings serve the dual purpose of adding to beauty to your home, and also act as a source of lighting. You can add showroom style LED lights to the grooves in a false ceiling to brighten up your home and make it look more spacious. LED strip lights can also be used along the corners of the false ceiling and the wall, to brighten up a room.

Asymmetrical false ceiling ideas

Asymmetrical false ceilings are quite common in a home which has a modern look and feel. Asymmetrical false ceilings have seemingly random shapes that are made in layers on the false ceiling. Lighting can also be added to the extended panels on the wall to highlight the asymmetrical shape.

Minimalistic false ceiling

A minimalistic false ceiling has one major advantage, that it promotes a look of spaciousness in a home. A minimalist small ceiling has very little detail, however, it may have a single panel or layered extension. Minimalistic false ceilings look great in smaller homes and have a functional but contemporary look.

Wallpapered false ceilings

This is a very popular idea for false ceilings in modern homes. Wallpaper, which is more commonly used on walls can also be used on false ceilings. It is important to note however that if you do plan to apply wallpaper to your fall ceiling, you should make sure to ensure that your room has a high ceiling, is spacious and well lit. A wallpapered false ceiling lets you explore various colours, shades and textures for your home.

Wooden wall ceilings

Though not as common as panelled or POP wall ceilings, wooden false ceilings have a rustic look and lend a home a very classic interior. The false ceiling can be made from panels of wood, fitted with light so that it can give the room a warm and comfy glow. LED strip lights can also be used along the corners of the false ceiling and the wall, to brighten up a room. Wooden wall ceilings are an uncomplicated and stylish design element for any home.

Multi coloured false ceilings

There’s no reason why a false ceiling should be plain. A multi-coloured false ceiling adds a riot of colours to your home. When creating this look for your home, it’s recommended that you keep the walls plain, and allow the ceiling to create a pop of colours for the interiors.

Royal looking false ceilings

Inspired by castles and mansions, this type of false ceiling looks wonderful in the bedroom of larger homes. Royal looking ceilings are extremely detailed and a lot of grandeur to the interiors of your home.

There’s no doubt that even a modest 2BHK flat or villa can make a stylish dwelling place with added features like a false ceiling. We hope you enjoy a premium looking and feeling home with our false ceiling ideas.
