Over the years a home has become more than just a place to put your feet up. Now, fashion is a big part of the design process and every area can be customised with a touch of your own personal style. Ceilings don’t have to be a basic flat white design, and you can have something fit for the pages of a home magazine. If you want to look up and see something truly unique, check out these top ceiling design trends for 2019: 

The world isn’t flat, and your ceiling doesn’t have to be either! Having rounded edges can soften a space and create an entirely different feel. You can do the entire ceiling, or add a few curved elements. Different materials can be added such as metal in order to create this look. Depending on your current ceiling, it may be possible to convert to something curved. The one disadvantage is having to sacrifice height, but it may be worth it for the elegance this style can provide.

While people often look for ways to remove their old popcorn ceiling, texture is back in a whole new way. For older homes, rejuvenating the original rosette pattern to maintain the character will be popular this year. Modern homes can look to a more artistic, messy texture, splashed across the surface. Often a wall will be a feature, but in this case, it will be your ceiling. Another effective way to add texture is to say goodbye to the paint and have a wooden ceiling. 

Light will always be in style, and in 2019 this will be a statement worth investing in. Look to the skies with strategically placed skylights to make the most of the natural sun. This will make the room feel bigger and more open, and nothing beats a clear blue view. Alternatively, choose lighting which works as a feature. This could be a chandelier over the dining table, or quirky pendant lights. The key is to be different and view your light fittings as artwork.

This is similar to the texture trend, but you can use just about anything from paint to wallpaper to achieve this look. Stencils are another good option as they can look interesting yet classic. When you choose a pattern, it will be like having a giant piece of art on your ceiling and will be a talking point for your visitors. Don’t be afraid to add a dash of colour but try to keep the design timeless as trends can change quickly. 

Finish your ceiling with the right accessories. This could mean choosing ceiling fans which are stylish (this is possible), adding exposed wooden beams or even a mirror. Consider the theme of your home and make your design choices reflect this.
