In modern homes the ceiling decoration is just as important as the rest of the room, there are plenty of different ceiling types to choose from and a wide range of ceiling ideas that you can look at. Apart from the light fittings or chandeliers that home owners can install, the actual ceiling can also be a point of attraction, especially with the wide range of ceiling finishes now available.
What Types of Ceilings Are There?
As a home owner you can choose between a regular ceiling, a suspended ceiling, and a seamless ceiling, you also have a variety of different choices for each main type of ceiling which will affect the ambience in the room. Most ceilings are constructed with a sequence of ceiling panels, except the seamless ceiling, which is constructed in such a way that it looks like it is one large panel. The most common material for a ceiling is wood, therefore most homes have wooden ceilings.
Tips On Installing Suspended Ceilings
A regular ceiling will be a plain rhino board ceiling which will still be able to provide the protection and insulation that you require, but the decorative options on the rhino board ceilings are very limited.
A suspended ceiling can be installed using rhino board or other ceiling materials, you have a variety of decorative choices for the suspended ceiling, including a range of decorative ceiling cornices or paint work.

What Are The Benefits of Each Ceiling Solution?
A regular ceiling would be your most cost effective ceiling installation, although it is not an extremely decorative type of ceiling it is possible to make your regular ceiling appear more appealing with decorative ceiling cornice designs or an artistic paint job.
A suspended ceiling makes the room smaller, this can be beneficial in the colder months in Johannesburg. A suspended ceiling can still have decorative ceiling tiles and other features of a regular ceiling and you can still install insulation into the ceiling to make the room more climate able.
A seamless ceiling is very aesthetically pleasing, except if there is a problem with water damage or some other structural fault in one corner of the room, you will have to replace the whole ceiling as it is not partitioned like a regular ceiling.
Decorative Options
Apart from the different types of covering, like rhino light or rhino boards and different shades of paint, you can turn your regular ceiling into designer ceilings with patterns in the layout of the materials used to install the ceiling or you can have us install decorative cornices and skirting’s. There are plenty of new materials on the market like acoustic ceiling tiles, and other solutions to making your ceiling more decorative.

It is also important to consider the room where you are replacing the ceiling, as you do not want to go through all the expense of having a decorative ceiling installed only to realise that the room looks too busy or that the ceiling is not suitable for the main purpose of the room.
