The ceiling is a large part of a bathroom, especially when you lean back in the bath. This Portlethen room pairs white furniture and pale wall panels with a wood-effect ceiling. The different finish introduces character overhead while the bathing and basin areas remain pale.
Include the ceiling on the finish board when you choose the walls and floor. Compare the area you see overhead when leaning back in the bath with the view from the doorway, where the same finish may occupy less of the picture. If the ceiling carries a pattern, compare it with the floor so both have a clear role. The ceiling can introduce character while the surfaces used for washing stay clear.
