  Bathroom ceilings don't have to be plain white or off-white colors, barren of designs or patterns. Taking advantage of the space above your ceiling as an area to heighten the style and decor scheme of your bathroom can truly assist in transforming it into a memorable space and making your bathroom ceiling an eye-catching area.
  
  

Ceiling Mural

• A near effortless way to transform your bathroom ceiling into an area of instant interest is to paint a mural on the ceiling. For example, a ceiling mural of something just as simple as a blue sky and clouds or a sky showing a storm approaching will bring an element of the outdoors into your bathroom, making it seem like you're almost outdoors. Other ceiling murals turn your bathroom ceilings into works of art, depicting cherubs, angels and other celestial figures. However, because the bathroom is yours, the ceiling is yours, and you can truly depict anything you want in your mural, such as a famous scene from literature or history.
  
  

Tile Ceiling

• Tile ceilings are the ultimate material for moisture resistance; that's why nearly every bathroom has tile to some extent all over the space -- at least along the walls and floor. Installing tile on the ceiling of a bathroom means you'll never have to deal with cracked or peeling paint reacting badly to moisture. A tile ceiling also gives the entire room an almost spa-like effect. You can make your tile ceiling as simple or ornate as you like, either using a single color of tile or several to create intricate patterns.
  
  

Skylights

• Skylights are a wise choice for a bathroom as they give you several advantages at once: They allow you a wealth of natural light, thus reducing your electric bill and allowing you to benefit from the environment as well as letting in a degree of the outside natural world into your bathroom. Skylights let you bathe while looking up at the clouds or the night sky, giving your bathroom an added focal point of the room. You can even shower when there's a storm outside and experience the sounds and sight of raindrops hitting your skylight as you sit underneath a rush of warm water.
