Modern ceiling cornices: 5 interior design ideas

Anyone with a passion for interior design knows that the beauty of a well-styled room lies in the details. How many times, while browsing Pinterest, have we been captivated by spectacular decorative schemes, finely sculpted walls or richly patterned wallpapers? It is this attention to detail that gives our homes their unique atmosphere. Yet the final look of a room is shaped by the space as a whole, including the ceiling, which is all too often overlooked. To encourage you to experiment, we have put together a few suggestions on how decorative mouldings can be used on the ceiling.

Ceiling roses

Ceiling roses are generally used in bedrooms or living rooms. They make a beautiful feature that acts as a backdrop for lamps and chandeliers, while discreetly and elegantly concealing all the electrical cables and wiring. This type of ceiling moulding works perfectly with every interior style, from minimalist apartments to elegant, spacious living rooms.

Large rooms with a glamorous feel lend themselves particularly well to richly decorated, generously sized ceiling roses. A pattern finely sculpted into the material gives them an elegance and a touch of luxury that underlines the prestige of the room.

There are plenty of options for setting off a modern interior. It all depends on the effect we want to achieve. To decorate a ceiling, minimalist decorative elements with a discreet profile, ceiling roses with a futuristic design or backlit shapes will be perfect.

Even in small spaces, ceilings can be enhanced with ceiling roses. They are not limited to being a simple ornament for a chandelier: they can also form a multi-element composition, creating an eye-catching decorative scheme for walls and ceilings.

Fitting large ceiling roses or ceiling features is no problem at all thanks to the use of patented ProFoam plastic in the manufacturing process. This lightweight material makes it possible to create decorations with crisp detail. Bonded with the specialist Mardom Max adhesive, which offers a strong initial grab (8 seconds), ceiling ornaments are guaranteed a stable, long-lasting installation.

Ceiling moulding - cornices

The next suggestion concerns ceiling cornices. This is a simple yet highly attractive solution that harmoniously links the walls to the ceiling, delivering a coherent, well-considered scheme. When choosing ceiling cornices, it is important to bear in mind the different sizes available. A wide, decorated cornice suits a room with a high ceiling, while a plainer profile works better with a low ceiling. The ceiling height and our own personal taste are essential considerations when making a choice.

Mardom Decor ceiling mouldings: the ideal design choice for beginners, adding a delicate touch to the interior, easy to fit and safe to use. To achieve a stable, lasting bond with the wall and the ceiling, simply apply Fix Pro adhesive to their edges and press them against the surface. Made from polymer, these mouldings stand out for their high resistance to UV rays and water, keeping their colour and their shape whatever the conditions. Coated with a special primer that makes painting easier and extends the life of the colours used, they can be painted in any shade to match the ceiling perfectly to our interior, exactly as we wish.

Slat panels:

the latest trend in interior design. They are a compelling way to transform our space quickly and easily. Although they are often called "wall panels", they are not limited to wall installation. Versatile by nature, they hide imperfections in the ceiling while adding a modern, elegant touch. Slat panels on the ceiling are not only an attractive decorative feature but also a practical addition that improves interior acoustics by reducing noise and echo. Thanks to the innovative ScratchShield® technology, which reinforces the material against mechanical damage, and to their embossed finish imitating natural wood, the slat panels in the Lamelli by Mardom Decor collection come in three panel models and six unique colours. From brilliant white to warm oak tones, they fit perfectly into Scandinavian, modern or classic schemes, and can be painted to suit our preferences.

• Suspended ceiling: another excellent option for interior design. Built mainly from plasterboard fitted onto hangers fixed to the ceiling and the walls, this type of ceiling conceals defects, ventilation systems, heating pipes and electrics. Ideal for dressing the living room or the bedroom, a suspended ceiling is perfect for traditional houses and for modern interiors with generous ceiling heights, thanks to the effective use of LED lighting.

When you work with lighting in a suspended ceiling, choose our mouldings, which will neatly conceal the LED strips and give your design lightness and elegance. Fitted with patented LightGuard® technology, Mardom Decor products guarantee an even spread of light, avoid unwanted bright spots and simplify installation by cutting fitting time by up to 80%, with no need to add an extra aluminium profile around the LEDs.

Mouldings on the ceiling - wall cladding

Who ever said that wall decoration belongs only on walls? When designing a ceiling, it is just as inspiring to take your cue from wall decorations and create original compositions of patterns and textures. When choosing, the key is to focus on the effect we want to achieve - decorative mouldings laid out like a grid on the ceiling act both as a bold frame and as a subtle accent.

Using large rectangular panels, it is possible to create a simple pattern that echoes the look of classic panelling. This is an excellent solution for a small apartment in a rustic style. Despite the limited space, we can still recreate a serene atmosphere indoors, even in the heart of a big city.

It is also worth opting for a minimalist, uniform paint finish to create a relief pattern on the ceiling. Here, only our imagination sets the limits - the mouldings can be fitted up to mid-height, joined by a cord, or arranged in asymmetric lines across the whole surface.
