Ceilings.

The fifth wall you should never ignore.

The next time you're designing a room, look up—the ceiling is full of potential. Treat it as an essential surface, not an afterthought, and you’ll unlock a whole new layer of style and sophistication.


In interior design, we spend so much time focusing on walls, floors, and furnishings—but what about the ceiling? Often overlooked, the ceiling is the fifth wall of every room, and when thoughtfully designed, it can completely elevate a space.



Whether you're working with a new build, renovation, or simply refreshing a room, incorporating ceiling design adds depth, dimension, and character in a way few other features can.

Why Ceilings Matter.

  • They Frame the Space: Just like crown moulding or trim can complete a room, a well-designed ceiling brings visual balance and polish to the overall design.


  • They Create Atmosphere: From coffered ceilings to wood beams, tongue-and-groove planks to bold paint or wallpaper, the ceiling sets the tone—whether cozy and intimate or grand and expansive.


  • They Play with Height and Light: Strategic ceiling design can make rooms feel taller, brighter, and more architectural. Vaulted ceilings and tray ceilings draw the eye upward, while integrated lighting enhances ambiance.



  • They Add Unexpected Drama: A bold ceiling choice—a moody colour, a patterned wallpaper, or statement light fixture—can turn a simple room into a standout feature.

The new season is a great reason to make and keep resolutions. Whether it’s eating right or cleaning out the garage, here are some tips for making and keeping resolutions.

Make a list

Lists are great ways to stay on track. Write down some big things you want to accomplish and some smaller things, too.


Check the list regularly

Don’t forget to check in and see how you’re doing. Just because you don’t achieve the big goals right away doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.


Reward yourself

When you succeed in achieving a goal, be it a big one or a small one, make sure to pat yourself on the back.


Think positively

Positive thinking is a major factor in success. So instead of mulling over things that didn’t go quite right, remind yourself of things that did.
