Wednesday, December 8, 2010 Best Home Design-Trend Alert: Planked Wood Ceilings

What is a ceiling? Is it simply a roof over our heads, so to speak? The answer to that question by designers is increasingly "no!" A ceiling really can be a fifth wall. And that opens up endless possibilities for interesting treatments.

One of the ceiling design treatments that is gaining popularity right now is the addition of wood planking. More than just the addition of beams, planked ceilings add visual texture and interest creating great focal points in a room. So the next time you are redoing a room...look up and consider the addition of wood to your ceiling.
