Design Ideas for Interior Walls and Ceilings

Sick and tired of doing the same style of plastering for each and every client? Feel like infusing your own personal style into your work and giving clients a truly impressive job?

You’ve come to the right blog – where we talk about interesting and unique design ideas for interior walls and ceilings.

Getting some inspiration for intricate interior plastering designs is a sure way to wow your clients, make a name for yourself and get better-paid work on more prestigious jobs.

So, here are some great design ideas to incorporate into your work on interior walls and ceilings:

Coffered ceilings

Classy, elegant and timeless: coffered ceilings are everyone’s cup of tea! Originally designed to make stone ceilings lighter, coffered ceilings are now all about the aesthetics and are still just as desirable today. Ceilings can be dull and dreary parts of the home, but coffered ceilings are an easy way to change that.

Coffered ceilings are built by adding faux beams onto existing ceiling beams, and then using plaster on top of them. The best part is that you can retrofit a ceiling with a coffered design – you don’t have to start from scratch.

Recessed lighting

Recessed lighting adds a smooth, crisp finish to any home – whether it’s a quaint old bungalow or a newly built mansion. Plasterboard opens up a world of new opportunities for recessed lighting design in homes. LED lighting strips can be installed behind plasterboard recesses, adding a sophisticated, classy touch to any space, particularly in kitchens and living rooms. Check out the internet for some inspo on unique plasterboard techniques when it comes to recessed lighting.

Venetian plaster

What if we told you that marble wall you were look at was actually just plain, old plaster? Yep – say hello to Venetian plaster, which emulates the grand look of marble, concrete and other materials. Venetian plaster can be completed in many different colours, and it’s a sure way to impress your clients.

Tray ceilings

Tray ceilings are a form of recessed ceiling which have taken off over the past few years. Tray ceilings are where the centre of the ceiling is recessed, with the edges coming down about a foot lower. They add a sense of height and drama to the room and are great for living rooms and communal areas. With lighting added into the recessed parts, it’s a winning technique that clients will love.
