When you think of artwork, you probably think of something that has been framed or sculpted, but those aren’t the only forms of art; not by a long shot. Architecture is actually quite artistic and complex. So, when you’re thinking about adding artwork to your home, don’t forget to put some on the ceiling. Wait.
Don’t hang that picture up there just yet. Take a look through this gallery of decorative ceiling ideas for inspiration before you attempt to do anything.
From entryways, living rooms, kitchens, master bathrooms, hallways, dining rooms or media rooms; well placed decorative ceilings can add the WOW factor that most homes seem to lack. You've heard of curb appeal, the moment your client pulls up to your home and decides within 30 seconds if they could live with the exterior elevation. But have you heard of Curve Appeal? If you haven't, welcome to your crash course.
Entry Decorative Ceilings
In our opinion, there isn't a better place to add decorative ceilings, then to an entryway. If you've passed the curb appeal test, and your potential clients have entered your home, then what better way to keep the momentum going with an amazing entryway that will leave them speechless.
The first amazing decorative ceiling we're going to discuss has to be this Barrel to Groin Vault Ceiling . Wow! I think this is the only thing that can be said about this entryway.

Living Room Decorative Ceilings
In our opinion, the next best place, to add decorative ceilings is in the living room. Why you ask? Because it is normally the largest room in the house with the most foot traffic. This is where most families spend most of their time. So, why not show off?
Grome Ceiling In The Living Room
Next on the list of decorative ceilings is this Grome Ceiling . What is a grome ceiling you might ask? This is a combination of 1 groin vault and 4 dome ceiling halves. The name "Grome" is a mashup of the words gr oin and d ome . While the name lacks originality, you might've also heard this ceiling called clover or quatrefoil . Either way, this ceiling definitely packs in the WOW factor.

Bedroom Hallway With Barrel Vault
Our next decorative ceiling is this Barrel Ceiling in a bedroom hallway with a half groin vault to redirect the barrel down the T-shaped hallway. If that sounds confusing, let us break it down for you. When you have two barrel vaults that are going to intersect each other, you need another ceiling type to create the transition. This is where the Groin Vault comes in. It kind of acts like a 3-way "Tee" fitting when you're trying to connect 3 pieces of pipe together.
