While the structure of your ceiling can really only be tailored with an in-depth renovation of your home, many ceiling treatment options are more accessible for a quick refresh.

BEAMS: Part of the ceiling's structural support that can be exposed to add visual interest and style to a room. Beams can also be added purely for the visual charm without any structural responsibility.

BOXED BEAMS: Decorative beams arranged in a grid pattern. Typically three-sided, hollow structures that can be added to a ceiling for visual interest. Boxed beams can be used to create a coffered ceiling effect.

FAUX WOOD BEAMS: Beams made to give the illusion of architectural wood beams without the weight and price of the real deal. Faux wood beams can be made of foam and finished to replicate the look of wood, or they can be engineered with real wood milled into thin panels that surround a hollow structure.

SOLID WOOD BEAMS: Real, solid wood (as you would have guessed!) that can serve as structural support and visual interest.

COFFERED CEILINGS: A series of recessed sections in a grid layout. This ceiling detail is typically decorative and adds a nod to historic style. Coffered ceilings bring a sophistication and intimacy to a room.

MOLDING: Decorative trim that can be arranged in various layouts to add a more traditional and ornate style to your ceiling. Molding typically follows the perimeter of a room to hide the seam where the ceiling meets the wall.

PAINT: Adding a coat of paint to your ceiling is one of the simplest ways to refresh your space. Choosing strategic hues and sheens can create different effects in the room. (Scroll to FAQs at the bottom for tips on how to achieve your desired look.)

TONGUE + GROOVE: Continuous wood planks that run parallel to each other and interlock leaving a ridge in between. This side-by-side style adds texture and depth into a room while maintaining a uniform look.

TRUSS: An A-frame structure that supports the roof, commonly seen with vaulted ceilings. Trusses can also be added as a decorative feature where the structural support isn't needed.

WALLPAPER: A decorative accent that can bring color, texture and pattern to a ceiling without weighing it down with heavy materials.

WOOD ACCENTS: Planks of wood that cover a ceiling in a staggered pattern without ridges in between, similar to that of hardwood floor. These planks can be found as smooth or as rustic as you intend for the style of your space.
