Wood ceilings can give a room a warm, organic look when balanced out properly. No matter what style a home is, stained wood ceilings complement different colors and accents around a room. If you have a room with wooden ceilings and you aren't sure what to do with it, there are plenty of solutions that you can do that bring out your personality in the space. While some may not find wood ceilings warm and inviting, they can be elegant and appealing when you balance out the material around the room.
Instructions
1. Choose a wall paint that complements the wood tones. Stained ceilings are often darker rather than lighter, so opt for a warm, inviting paint shades like pale red, yellow, mint or taupe.
2. Balance out the space by using flooring materials that are opposite of your wood ceiling. For dark ceilings, go with a lighter wood or carpeting. Choose a warm, natural stone to complement the organic ceiling. If your ceiling is light, go with a medium wood floor or neutral carpet.
3. Pick furniture for the room that balances out the ceiling. For dark wood ceilings, white or cream sofas or chairs keep the room looking open and spacious. With lighter ceilings, choose furniture in a darker, yet neutral, palette to keep the space from looking washed out. Earth tones pair well with wood since they are all natural colors.
4. Lighten up the space by keeping window treatments airy. Choose a light cotton or linen curtain to cover windows. The light fabric will offer privacy, but still allow natural light to warm up the room and brighten wood-stained ceilings.
