Statement Ceilings – Elevate Your Home’s Fifth Wall with Colour and Detail

Blog

18 Aug

We spend so much care styling our walls and floors – but what about the ceiling? That often-overlooked “fifth wall” is fast becoming one of the most thrilling design moves of 2025.

Whether you go bold with a richly painted ceiling, playful with a patterned wallpaper or elegant with architectural moulding, this approach adds a bit of drama and personality that’s both unexpected and delightful. Imagine painting a ceiling in deep emerald green while keeping the walls a soft vanilla – the result? A cocooning classic that still feels vibrant.

For a gentler touch, think of texture rather than shine. A lime washed ceiling, for example, adds quiet depth and a natural softness that changes beautifully with the light. Even a subtle shift in tone – a ceiling painted just a shade darker than the walls – can create intimacy and make a room feel beautifully finished.

Here’s how to make your ceiling statement work:

  • Keep balance in mind — let the ceiling be the star by keeping walls and furnishings calm.
  • Think about lighting — wall lights or lamps can highlight bold colour overhead without relying on one central pendant.
  • Match scale to space — in smaller rooms, a deeper ceiling shade can feel wonderfully cosy; in larger rooms, pattern or detail brings interest and prevents the space from feeling flat.

The magic of a statement ceiling lies in its subtle power — it makes a room feel complete, curated and endlessly intriguing. It’s a bold design tweak that signals confidence, creativity and a love for detail. After all, great design is often about what you do above and beyond.

Project Reveal: Newark HMO Upgrade This summer, w Project Reveal: Newark HMO Upgrade
This summer, we transformed a 5-bedroom HMO in Newark for a returning overseas client. The brief? Deliver a high-quality standard on a tight budget.
With no room in the budget for styling accessories, we focused investment where it counts - bathrooms and fittings. The result: fresh, modern rooms designed for comfort, durability and long-term rental appeal.
Having worked with this client previously on their full house rental project in 2023, it was a pleasure to collaborate again and bring their Newark property up to standard.
