Once construction is complete, interior design gives your home a personalized finishing touch. Traditional designs include the walls, furniture, and décor, but the latest trends have us looking beyond those four walls — and to the floors and ceilings.
Floors and ceilings are essentially blank canvases, and they create a beautiful opportunity for one-of-a-kind focal points in your home. If you’re planning to build a new home or remodel your existing home, take the design to the next level with this guide to statement floor and ceiling design.
Statement floor design inspiration
The floors in your home must be durable, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be fun. From high-gloss paint to unique natural materials, let these ideas inspire you.
Bright colors
A white kitchen is classic. Infusing energy with a brightly colored, high-gloss floor makes the space feel fun and fresh.
Patterned tile or wood
Neutral floors don’t have to be boring. Choose an eye-catching pattern, like herringbone, or mix wood tones to create interest in different areas of your home.
Bold patterns
Combine color and pattern with a bold checkerboard or striped floor that puts a dramatic touch on your space.
Unexpected materials
Your flooring choices go beyond wood, tile, and carpet. Cork floors are sustainable, practical, and the natural material adds warmth to any space.
Statement ceiling design inspiration
Traditional interior design often ignores ceilings, but these wide open spaces are the perfect place to add personality. Explore a few of our favorite ways to maximize your ceilings.
Elevated molding
Custom crown molding adds visual interest to a white-on-white space and makes the ceiling feel like a work of art.
Natural textures
Wood tones are coming back to design in a big way. Play with natural textures in a paneled, reclaimed wood ceiling made or a vaulted ceiling fit with wood beams.
Indirect lighting
Architectural features like molding and trayed ceilings create an opportunity to add modern indirect lighting to the rooms of your home.
Bold colors
Paint isn’t just for walls and floors. Painting the ceiling of a white space makes it feel cozy, intimate, and luxurious all at once.
Eye-catching pattern
Wallpaper isn’t going anywhere in the world of design, but it can go on the ceilings in your home. Adding patterned wallpaper to ceilings creates a show-stopping focal point.
