Kids' Rooms: 9 Ceiling Designs That Lend Wings to Imagination

Learn how ceilings can play a pivotal role in creating a mesmerising ambience and feeding a child's fantasies

As a child, I remember buying a packet of glow-in-the-dark stars to cover the entire ceiling in my room, so it resembled the night sky. Before going to sleep, I would gaze at the shimmering dots for a long while, lost in thoughts about the mysterious universe. Of course, those weren’t the best-quality products; the glue soon expired and my solar system and stars started falling from the sky and landing on my bed!

Today, fortunately, there are abundant wallpapers, moulding designs and paints for ceilings that can transform the look and feel of the room completely. Here are nine dreamy examples that make the bedroom look like fantasy land.
Space Coast Construction
1. An elaborate space-inspired theme takes this bedroom to the next level with its shining celestial bodies on a backdrop of vibrant blue. The pendant light in the centre has been painted to look like the sun, with planets hanging around it that look like they’re orbiting it.
Hage Creative
2. This is how one transforms a modern room into a cosy spot from the Arabian nights, without going over the top. The curtain material, draped tent-like on the ceiling, sets the stage for a fantasy land for the child to enjoy. The fabric’s patterns find repetition in the upholstery. This ceiling cleverly adds depth and drama to what could have been a boxed-in, all-white room.
Brian Billings
3. Disneyland alert! Can you think of anything that’s missing from this princess’s bedroom? Within this pink shell, she has a beautiful chandelier, an intricately designed mirror, a stand for her tutu and, to top it all (quite literally), a ceiling moulding with flower motifs which completes the picture.

4. Doesn’t this red-and-white ceiling remind you of a big circus tent? It definitely lends character to the room. Also see how the long stripes make the height of the canopy-style ceiling more pronounced.
Staprans Design
5. The large blue printed faux ceiling shows a vintage airplane passing through a clear blue sky. The aeronautics theme is continued throughout the room, with the blue hue seen on the bed, rug and curtains.
Jamie Bush & Co.
6. A vibrant canopy of motifs presides in this bedroom. I like how the ceiling draws immediate attention while the rest of the room maintains a calm, serene blue palette that allows the colours on top to gain prominence.

7. This bedroom is an example of how a neutral space can be accentuated with layers. The multicoloured ceiling wallpaper reminds me of a child’s scribbles; it adds visual interest and character to this otherwise standard, neutral bedroom.

8. This thematic bedroom shows rainbow colours stretching out on the walls and ceiling. The long stripes are closely put together in a way that they blur the lines between the wall and the ceiling, making this small bedroom seem like a large, colour-happy sanctuary.
Neslihan Pekcan/Pebbledesign
9. Quite evidently, the little owner of this room is a big fan of Lego – the entire room (be it the chairs, walls or cabinets) has been designed to cater to this Lego-love. What catches immediate attention is the ceiling light installation designed to mimic Lego blocks … talk about living and sleeping inside a game.
