This trend dialogues with a more authorial decoration, where color, graphics, and proportion are used consciously. The striped ceiling creates movement, guides the eye, and establishes subtle relationships with walls, furniture, and lighting, expanding the spatial experience without relying on major interventions.
The adoption of the striped ceiling is linked to the appreciation of the upper plane as a element of architectural composition. Instead of limiting visual expression to walls and the floor, the project begins to incorporate the ceiling as an active part of the narrative of the projects, creating more engaging and well-resolved environments.

The stripes introduce rhythm and depth, helping to alter the perception of the proportions of the projects. Depending on the design, it is possible to stretch, enlarge, or make the space more welcoming, always with a graphic approach that balances boldness and sophistication.
The striped ceiling adapts to different uses and scales, assuming distinct languages according to the projects in which it is applied. Some of the possible applications in different projects include:
In living and dining rooms, the striped ceiling helps create identity and, in some cases, to delineate areas in integrated projects. Neutral tones or soft variations of the same color maintain elegance, while more defined contrasts reinforce the contemporary character of the projects.

In bedrooms, the striped ceiling appears in a more contained form. Soft palettes and less marked stripes contribute to a welcoming atmosphere, creating a visual sense of involvement without compromising comfort.

In kitchens, washrooms, and corridors, the striped ceiling allows for more expressive approaches. Being spaces where the stay is shorter, they better accommodate striking graphic patterns, transforming the ceiling into a focal point and adding dynamism to the circulation.

To incorporate the striped ceiling in a balanced way, it is essential to observe the proportions of the projects. Wide stripes create immediate visual impact, while thin stripes create a more continuous and discreet effect. The direction of the stripes also influences the perception of the projects, potentially stretching or visually enlarging the room.
(André Nazareth/CASACOR)
The choice of colors should dialogue with the existing palette. Combinations between nearby tones result in a sophisticated reading, while more evident contrasts work better in projects with a neutral base. The lighting, in turn, plays an essential role in enhancing the design and preventing the striped ceiling from becoming excessive.
