Look Up, Oh Wood!

I am a fan of high wooden ceilings at Main Areas. They evoke luxury and coziness.

 Most of the time, a flat gypsum ceiling is painted white.  It often gets lost.
We often think it makes the room bigger. Nobody ever looks up so why bother.
The ceiling is often taken for granted.  In reality, it does a great deal in enhancing a space.

I would definitely incorporate a timber ceiling feature in my dream house.
Light and Airy without losing the presence of the ceiling, whether it's sloped or flat.



Modern living room design by NY Architect Bruce D. Nagel Architect The exposed beams add extra aesthetic points to a space.  They could function as track lighting support as shown here.

 I love the way the bed was oriented facing the view outside.  Such a beautiful morning view to wake up to!

 I am fascinated by the horizontal and vertical element as a surface material applied here.

A more rustic country approach combined with modern dining chairs and pendants is stylishly charming.

Overall, the wooden ceiling adds warmth.  Adding wooden treatment in some rooms spices up the look of the house. The key is not to overdo it or it becomes heavy on wood.

Which style is your preference?  Modern? Country?  Traditional?  Mediterranean?

I wish you all a great Saturday!
