A standout ceiling can be a highlight of your house. Wood ceilings, in particular, can add a hint of rustic style. Here are some ways to incorporate wood ceilings into your home.

1. Shiplap Ceiling

Shiplap is ideal for lower ceilings. To make your shiplap ceilings even more interesting, keep the wood exposed.

2. Color Contrast

Shiplap works particularly well in the kitchen. Combine a shiplap ceiling and window frames with white cabinets for a modern yet rustic look.

3. Painted Shiplap

You can also paint the shiplap ceiling to match the rest of the kitchen. An all-white kitchen, in particular, can appear bigger than it really is.

4. Floor-to-Ceiling Wood

You do not have to limit the wood to your ceiling. Including wood walls and floors can give your home a resort feel.

5. Wood Paneling

Wooden panels work best with dark floors and brown-trimmed furnishings. Attach brass light fixtures to the ceiling for added charm.

6. Divided Space

Use white beams to break up the monotony of the wooden ceilings. This also lets you separate the living and dining areas without using a wall or door.

7. Light Wood Bathroom Ceiling

Turn your basic bathroom into a serene oasis by adding a light wood ceiling. This should make the washroom feel airier.

8. Painted Wood

Painting wood ceilings also helps you transform a boring color palette. The combination of dark wooden beams and bright furniture is particularly stunning.

9. Coastal Look

For a true beach vibe, paint your wood ceiling aquamarine. Then break up the space with white wooden beams.

10. All White Ceiling

An all-white shiplap ceiling can brighten a space. It also draws attention to the room’s furniture.

11. Cherry Wood

Instead of painting the ceiling, opt for darker wood such as cherry. It can add charm to a child’s playroom.

12. Contrasting Colors

For living rooms and other large spaces, install a few evenly-spaced wood beams and leave the rest of the ceiling as is. This will save you money on wood, as well.

13. Detailed Vaulting

Add horizontal beams to your vaulted ceiling to give your space rustic elegance. The vaulting will draw attention to the ceiling and make the room feel more open.

14. Cutouts

Alternatively, you can use the structural beams to create an intricate or simple design. Then apply matching wood panels to the rest of the ceiling.

15. Royal Style

Combine a vaulted ceiling with a grand chandelier. Your home will look like a miniature castle.

16. Cathedral Entrance

Cathedral ceilings combine vertical and horizontal beams. They are particularly great for entryways.

17. Cottagecore

Cottagecore décor remains trendy on social media. Embrace cottage living with exposed driftwood beams.

18. Slanted Ceiling

A slanted ceiling gives the home a sleek vibe. It also contrasts well with white walls.

19. Cabin Ceiling

Wooden ceilings are an essential part of the cabin aesthetic. Mix exposed beams with distressed walls and a stone-framed fireplace.

20. Outdoor Ceiling

Your patio ceiling deserves some love, too. Beadboard ceilings contrast well with those essential outdoor fans.
