1. DROP CEILING:

A drop ceiling, also known as a suspended ceiling, is a type of ceiling that’s added below an
actual ceiling or roof structure. It’s usually made from metal grid and acoustic tiles and is
popular in many residential and commercial spaces.
While it helps conceal ductwork, pipes, and wires and provide soundproofing, drop ceilings
reduce room space or the height of a room. They also tend to deteriorate after just a few
years and can be very unstable.

2. CEILING TILES:

Incredibly attractive and can be customized with various stamped designs. If you can’t find the
design that you want in a store, then you can often hire a company to stamp custom tiles for
you for a small charge. They are made of a nonporous material that will not soak up any
stains.
Ceiling tiles are eye-catching and will draw attention to your ceiling. Some ceiling tiles can be
painted so that you can change their appearance as your tastes change. They are incredibly
durable and won’t need to be replaced soon after installing them.

Because they are nonporous, you don’t need to worry about mold or rust. Regular light
dusting will keep them looking great for years and is all of the maintenance that this ceiling
option requires. Ceiling tiles can withstand both fires and floods without being damaged or
losing their beauty.

3. DRYWALL:

Drywall provides a smooth and finished surface that will improve the appearance of any room
in your home or your basement. Since drywall is a material that most contractors work with on
a regular basis, you don’t have to worry about how difficult it will be to find someone to
complete this installation for you.
It’s easy to install any type of lights in your ceiling as you can attach them to your drywall or
drill holes to install flush lighting options. You will not lose a lot of ceiling height when you
install drywall. You can paint your drywall any color that you want and you can easily repaint it
later if you change your mind and want to update your space.
Drywall can align evenly with any surface, even if it is curved, which is a great way to hide
imperfections in your home without a lot of hassle. This material provides excellent
soundproofing, which is great if you are worried about noise traveling between the floors in
your home. Your space will look very finished and cared for when you install drywall on the
ceiling.

4. BEADBOARD:

Beadboard is a great option for your ceiling if you want a beautiful surface. You can choose
beadboard in a variety of colors and finishes, which makes it easy to create a custom ceiling
for your space that will stand out from any other rooms in your home.
Beadboard is incredibly cost-effective, which makes it a great option if you are going to be
finishing your ceiling, but are on a tight budget. Buying a DIY beadboard kit is a great way to
install this material on your ceiling without having to rely on professional help, which can be
expensive, but only if you have a working knowledge of carpentry.
Rather than removing your existing ceiling, you can easily install beadboard over it and
improve the way that it looks in a fraction of the time. This creates a very rustic look in your
home that may help enhance your décor choices. Beadboards are also great for hiding
imperfections in your ceiling.

5. WOODEN PLANKS:

Wooden planks will create a unique and custom look in your home. They can be stained to
any color that you want so that they can mimic the wooden floors in your home or act as a
contrast to other design choices that you made.
Depending on the length and width of the wooden planks that you choose, you can create the
illusion of a very long or wide room, without actually changing the dimensions of your space.
Smaller wooden planks are light enough that you can install them by yourself.

Depending on the kind of wood that you choose for your ceiling, you may be able to complete
this work while staying under a smaller budget. Wood planks will create a rustic feel in your
home, which is great if you live in a cabin or in the woods and want to draw attention to your
décor choices. When finished correctly, you won’t have to worry about water damage, as long
as there is not a lot of water that has pooled in the ceiling.

6. PLYWOOD:

Plywood is a great choice if you want an inexpensive material for your ceiling and aren’t
worried about choosing a fancy option. You can paint and stain plywood to be various colors
and shades. Plywood is great if you are going to be hanging heavy lights from your ceiling
and need the support of a durable material.

If you are worried about having easy access to plumbing or electrical work in your ceiling,
then plywood is a great choice. The pieces can be easily removed from the ceiling when you
are in a hurry and replaced without a lot of frustration. This material can easily be cut to fit the
perfect size and shape of your room, which is a great way to hide any imperfections.

7. STAINED GLASS:
Multi-panel stained glass can serve as a drop ceiling alternative.  Paned stained glass is best

also goes well with traditional tables and floor lamps found in rooms that are used for
relaxation.
