Depending on the palette and the quantity of colours included, checkered ceiling design can be either soft or vibrant. It can add visual interest to a room – setting the ceiling as a focal point – or otherwise offer muted intrigue.
Below, explore examples of checkerboard ceiling design across restaurants, offices, and retail spaces around the world achieved using colourful acoustic ceiling tiles. A seamless and continuous look is created with the use of colour-matched suspended grids.
