ON THE
CEILING

“A beautiful ceiling is more than just
what meets the eye,” explains Grimshaw.
“A ceiling can be much more than just
a striking standout piece - it’s at its best
when it also has a functional component.
An important part of interior design is
creating a healthy environment. The
ceiling, because of its size, is a great
means to focus on achieving optimal
lighting, acoustics, and creating an
overall indoor climate where people are
going to be as comfortable being in the
room as they are looking at it.”

A functional and beautiful ceiling
design can be like any stunning work
of art.
Some of the top ceiling trends for 2023
include adding colour to ceilings, from
creative colours to dusty tones; wood
panels that halo the room creating the
appearance of a larger space; finishing
ceilings with various materials such as
wooden and concrete patterns, textured
paints and creative wallpapers; and
finally, performance ceilings that are able
to support the wellbeing of the home
through enhanced insulation, lighting
and sound.
“Saint-Gobain believes in making the
world a better home though building
better as leaders in light and sustainable
building systems,” says Grimshaw.
“Aerolite® ceiling insulation is a well-
known solution for ceilings in the home,
through improved acoustics and thermal
insulation to maximise comfort in the
home without increasing your electricity
bill!”
Saint-Gobain solutions further include
their easy to install Gyproc® ceiling
systems, that are able to be adapted to
specific needs.
In summary, as you embark on your
festive home renovation projects –
remember to notice the importance of
the fifth wall in your home as the ceiling
to complete how your home is designed
and how your home supports your
wellbeing. dw
