A ceiling plinth is a real chameleon in the world of finishing materials. It changes its appearance with enviable regularity. Until recently, volumetric stucco moldings made in the best traditions of classicism were at the peak of popularity, and today they have been replaced by laconic and strict forms. Let's analyze modern trends and fashion trends of 2024 in the design of ceiling plinths, and also look at visual examples with photos.
Narrow dumbbells
Minimalism does not give up its position. And decorative elements of the interior continue to shrink and even hide in the walls. Therefore, the choice of a regular narrow dumbbell-shaped molding of 4-5 cm width will be more relevant than ever.
A narrow and laconic fillet has the following advantages.
It will hide the flaws at the junction of the wall and ceiling without attracting additional attention.
It is perfect for small rooms in typical apartments – it does not “weigh down” the space and retains its lightness.
Despite the pronounced tendency towards minimalism, it is universal – it will fit into almost any interior. Especially if you take the model for painting.
It is also worth paying attention to the combination of floor and ceiling plinths. They can be both white, black or wooden - as your sense of style tells you. Any of these options will be relevant not only in 2024, but also in the next decade.
White skirting boards
This trend can be safely called a "classic of the genre". After all, white ceiling plinths have always been the leaders among competitive offers. But with the entry into the fashion of similar floor models, they simply gained a "second wind".
What white skirting boards will be popular in 2024?
Flat wide baguettes . They go well with the same floor skirting boards and actually form a "frame" that turns the wall decoration into a kind of art piece.
Multi-level plinths. These are volumetric elements that can add a touch of pompous classicism to the interior. But for modern interiors, it is better to choose models without vignettes and carvings, or strict geometric shapes.
Radius models. A white plinth with a concave semicircular surface is another way not to overload the space in small rooms. It is suitable for Provence, classic, modern and the contemporary style we are accustomed to.
White ceiling plinth is a logical addition to a ceiling of the same color. Therefore, when developing a design with your own hands, it is better to pay attention to this category: you will not have to look for decorative elements to match it and the risk of making a mistake with the choice will be much less.
Wooden skirting boards
Since 2020, the trend has been towards personalizing space - minimalism had to make room, and notes of warmth, coziness, and originality appeared in interiors.
One such interior detail that pleases the owner's eye is a wooden ceiling plinth. This pleasure is more expensive than modern options made of plastic and duropolymer, but its characteristics fully pay for it.
Durability and reliability. Wooden skirting boards serve for decades, and it is almost impossible to accidentally damage them.
Variety. The range of wooden skirting boards starts with simple models that copy floor ones and ends with original carved baguettes. The option can be selected for any style and taste.
Naturalness. Many of us lack contact with nature, and such little things can partially compensate for this state.
Wooden plinth with carving is an expensive, exclusive option for those who can appreciate even the little things. At the same time, it can serve for more than 25 years, and fits into almost all styles, except urban ones.
Invisible skirting boards
In some interiors, skirting boards are simply inappropriate. In this case, it is better to choose an option that is mounted on the wall before it is leveled and completely hidden in it.
The invisible skirting board option is simply necessary for interiors in the following styles.
Loft. It does not imply finishing in principle - it is a brutal style of factories with brick and concrete walls, uncovered pipes and wires. If you use a plinth when arranging it, it is better to choose an invisible option.
Minimalism. It tends to simplicity and the absence of unnecessary details. Therefore, impractical baseboards are often abandoned or the most laconic options are selected.
Chalet and country. These are brutal rural styles, which are also not distinguished by exquisite finishing, so it is also better to hide the baseboard in them.
"Invisibles" are also often combined with the following trend. And it is worth paying attention to it as a design move for all owners of dark and cramped rooms.
Skirting boards with backlighting
The placement of LED strips around the perimeter of the ceiling of the entire room has become an extremely popular trend. They are placed on ceiling and floor plinths, highlighting individual zones and accent walls.
Therefore, choosing a model that involves installing an LED strip is a promising solution. And most importantly, you can find such modifications in almost any segment of ceiling plinths:
Narrow dumbbells;
Multi-level skirting boards;
White, wooden, and paintable skirting boards.
A "floating" ceiling is a real salvation for small and cramped rooms. And if you have such, be sure to pay attention to the trend of adding LED strip.
So, we have told in detail what ceiling plinths are currently in fashion, considering all the fashion trends and current tendencies of their design in the interior of 2024.
