Four Great Looking DIY Ceiling Treatments

We often overlook the so-called fifth wall in a room, leaving it blank and missing a great opportunity to add dimension and style to a room. 

I rounded up four ceiling treatments that I've DIY'ed and that I think have added great value to each room they've been installed. I'm adding the links for you to follow their complete details:

1. Wallpaper

Using wallpaper is a wonderful way to highlight a boring ceiling and bring the eye all the way up.

The first ceiling treatment I tackled was done during my pre-blogging days, using this paintable textured wall covering.

A gold leaf kit and crown molding added to the dramatic makeover done to this little powder room.

 A few years later the bold palette was updated with paint for a brighter look.

2. Wood Beams

Add a touch of warmth to your room by installing some wooden beams on the ceiling.

Cathedral ceilings are a great feature in a room, but many times we don't know how to approach this big space and end up doing nothing to it. That was my case here in our master bedroom where the ceiling stayed untouched for many years.

Until I decided to install faux wooden beams.

 2 x 4's were first installed on the ceiling and then, the beams were done with 1 x 4 material, and then, they were wrapped around the studs.

The beams broke up that big expanse of the ceiling...

Making the room feel so much cozier.

3. Coffered Ceiling

The recesses or indentations that take part of a coffered ceiling are a great way to give drama and lots of texture to a plain ceiling.

The white ceiling in our dining room was the perfect canvas for a flat coffered ceiling treatment.

 Plywood, 1 x material, and crown molding were the main materials for this DIY ceiling treatment.

Paired up with a built-in unit, they drastically changed the look of this room.

4. Shiplap

Popular adorning bathroom ceilings, shiplap is here to stay.

The slanted ceiling in our master bathroom was the perfect candidate for this treatment.

 Installation in this small space was a one-girl job.

 The wooden planks add warmth and texture to the space.

And bring the eye from the floor, all the way up!

The fifth and easiest option is paint! Painting the ceiling in a color other than white!
