Can you imagine staring up at your bland, white ceiling for hours every day for a few months out of your life? Instead of condemning your little one to boredom during that time awake, give him or her something interesting to look at with ceiling art. Ceiling art gives baby something to see, and sparks the imagination, so baby is entertained for longer instead of fussing to be in another place.

There are a variety of ways that you can create ceiling art, depending on how much experience you have, what your budget is, what you are hoping to create, and the style of ceiling that you are working with. Here is some information about a few basic styles of ceiling art.

Ceiling tiles are relatively inexpensive, and can be used to create custom ceiling art that will hold your baby's attention. Gone are the days when white ceiling tiles are the only option for a baby's bedroom, or any other room in the house. Today, there are many unique colors and patterns to choose from at affordable prices, even for those with limited experience placing tiles. Babies love bright colors, so this can be a great way to introduce color into baby's bedroom without creating something that will be outdated in just a few short years.

Ceiling artwork pieces, that are hung much like wall art on your walls, can create a unique picture that your baby will love. These are designed much like paintings for a wall, and are mounted in place on the ceiling. You could create a kaleidoscope of colors for your baby to enjoy, or a simple angel theme to make baby feel safe. This is a great opportunity to be creative and design something that your baby will want to keep even through the childhood years, whether you choose simple colors and patterns to Winnie the Pooh or Mickey Mouse themes.

Ceiling mural stencils are easy to work with, and can let you create your own picture instead of purchasing one. You can customize a stencil however you want, whether it is with pastels and neutrals or bright, vivid colors. Make sure to use a stencil adhesive to help with the stencil portion, or you could easily lose your place or make a serious mistake that costs time and money to fix. These stencils are available at a wide variety of home improvement retails stores in the world, and are fairly affordable.

You always have the option of hiring someone to design and complete a ceiling art masterpiece. For those who are just not comfortable with the idea of painting or hanging ceiling art, for whatever reason, there is the option to hire someone else to do it for you. Most of us have at least one friend or family member with either the means or motivation to complete the job, and the extra help can go a long way toward creating something that your baby will love for years.
