Ceiling Design ‘Top Interiors Trend For 2021’

If you’re currently restoring an older property or are thinking about giving your home interiors a makeover in 2021, it’s important that you don’t overlook your ceiling.

Canberra Weekly recently named ceiling design as one of the top interior trends to watch this year, noting that it’s an area of our interiors that is often overlooked.

Greg Natale, a leading interior designer in Australia, told the newspaper that, along with the walls, the ceiling is one of the first areas of a room he considers when starting a new interior design project.

“They’re an essential layer of the architecture, and a wonderful way of introducing pattern into the framework of a room, helping to define its look and add interest and drama,” he told the news provider.

Mr Natale went on to suggest that cornices could be a particularly important element to look at this year, and urged homeowners to consider how they can use these features to improve the design of the space. For instance, he noted that cornices don’t just have to be painted to match the ceiling. Instead, using a contrasting colour can provide a dramatic outline.

He’s a particular fan of painting cornices black in the right situations because this can add “beautiful definition” to a room.

Last year, an article for Architecture & Design pointed out that there are many different cornice designs, many of which are categorised according to the historical period in which they were popular. Georgian, Victorian and Art Deco are among the styles often found in homes in the UK, as well as modern designs that tend to be cleaner and more simplistic.
