Top Four Suspended Ceiling Trends

Suspended ceilings are a great solution for improving the acoustics and insulation of any office space, but all too often they appear dull and cheap, making them a significant visual eyesore. Luckily, there are many things you can do to make your suspended ceilings more interesting and useful.
  1. Fabric Coverings
  2. Many dropped roof configurations consist of tiles with a thick layer of insulation and a thinner vinyl layer that faces down into the room. This thin vinyl layer can be replaced with a heat proof and flame resistant fabric in any colour or pattern for a more decorative effect.
  3. Extra Storage
  4. One idea picked up recently in office fitouts is using the suspended ceiling to act as a host to extra storage space in the workplace. You can either store very infrequently used items above the suspended ceilings or mount storage boxes on secure rails underneath the ceilings.
  5. Light Shades
  6. Although it is common practice to simply use fluorescent lighting lying flush with the vinyl tiles in the roof of an office, a more interesting effect can be made by using light shades hanging from the roof. Alternatively you can use discrete down lights for an elegant look.
  7. Quirky Colours
  8. Most office roofs are grey, white or beige, but have you ever consider using a more vibrant colour higher up to brighten up your workplace? The suspended roof can be a great place to paint a bright and unconventional colour as it is not as noticeable as the walls but still has a considerable effect on the overall feel of the space
