Do you like wooden flooring? If yes, then you might also like the idea of wooden beams fixed to your false ceiling. These add warmth to your bedroom and give it a rustic charm, just like they do in this room. If it’s out of your budget to go for real wood, you can opt for faux wood too.

Yes, with a fan! Just ensure that the ceiling is strong, has extra support brackets to hold the fan tight, and that all the fastenings are tightened.

Here’s another way to add architectural interest to your bedroom. Bonus: It makes the room look cosy! Coffered ceilings are essentially criss-crossing beams that form a grid-like pattern. In fact, these are very versatile as they can be made of gypsum, POP (Plaster of Paris) and even wood. In the design above, you can see how the beams add weight to the ceiling and take your attention upwards. This is an especially great false ceiling design for your master bedroom!
The slimmer beams in the photo above are not too heavy on the ceiling and balance out the other bold elements in the bedroom. A chandelier hangs from one of the beams, but you can also opt for it to be installed on the inside surface, like in the previous picture. Or you can strategically place recessed lights.
Gypsum Ceiling or POP Ceiling: Which One Should You Choose?
If you’re not content with the design getting restricted to your ceiling, you can opt for this false ceiling style. As broad as your bed, it begins on the wall behind it, and extends all the way up to the ceiling or atleast a part of it. In the picture above, a coloured and patterned wallpaper is attached to the false ceiling material, which is further given a neat finish using golden trims.
While in this image, the homeowners have covered a wall-to-ceiling alcove with a lighter botanical wallpaper, giving the bedroom a dreamy effect. Similarly, you could use interesting, quirky and colourful wallpapers, especially for a child’s bedroom.
Here’s another artistic style. A circular shape cut out from the false ceiling not only makes for an ideal place to fix your fan or chandelier, but also puts the focus on both the ceiling and your bed. While this is a minimal look, you can also opt for multiple circles cut out from the ceiling and install a recessed light in each. The effect will be spectacular!
And, of course, you can improvise and go for different shapes like a square, oval, rectangular, etc!
If you want to highlight an area — like your bed — a floating island works brilliantly. It’s floating because it’s suspended from the ceiling with a gap between the two. And it’s an island because it is placed independently to bring focus on a subject below.
Yes, you can marry different styles in just one bedroom, and these are the latest designs in homes nowadays! Two larger portions of this false ceiling are simple, straightforward designs with tiny recessed lights. However, they have between them a wooden section that is a few inches higher and that highlights the bed and the area in front of it. Additionally, parallel gypsum planks are placed horizontally at the extreme end for an ornamental appeal.
