If it's not in an added room, like a sunroom, then we don't pay much attention to what the ceiling looks like (as long as it's not mouldy or otherwise unsightly). However, travelling through previous eras shows that we've become ceiling-shy - after all, Michelangelo didn't spend years painting the Sistine Chapel for nothing!

"With thoughtful planning, careful execution and attention to detail, you can create a space where the ceiling's unique features contribute positively to the room's atmosphere and aesthetics," says senior interior designer Quintin Gilman. With that in mind, we've curated some on-trend ceiling inspiration to help you take any room to the next level.
