\"Palissade<\/div>\n

Ceilings clad with timber<\/a>, larch<\/a> and oak<\/a> feature in our latest lookbook<\/a>, which rounds up eight homes where wooden ceilings add a sense of warmth.<\/span><\/p>\n

While often used for flooring within the home, wood<\/a> can also be used for ceilings, adding texture and warm hues to create inviting and cosy living spaces.<\/p>\n

Among the eight interiors featured below is a lakeside home in Qu\u00e9bec cloaked in cedar planks and a converted rectory in New York adorned by reeded oak panelling.<\/p>\n

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring homes with pivot doors<\/a>, dining areas with mismatched chairs<\/a> and soothing bedroom interiors<\/a>.<\/p>\n
