Have you heard of the 'fifth wall?' Though it is most often referred to as a 'ceiling,' the fifth wall greatly impacts the look, feeling, and even the acoustics of a room. Hailey Bieber's kitchen is the perfect example of the massive benefits innovative ceiling design can have in a space. The model, businesswoman, and wife of Justin Bieber shared a TikTok revealing she enhances her A-frame kitchen with cream-colored, paneled ceilings. Interior designers are obsessed with the creative ceiling choice.

'Ceilings are often overlooked in the design process - but by adding shiplap, nickel gap, v groove or other treatments of paneling - it gives the space dimension and character, and can really complement the interior style,' says Marea Riedler, Founder and Principal Designer of A Designed Space. She continues, 'Depending on the type of paneling you select it can accent the overall design aesthetic in a wide range of styles from contemporary to mid-century modern.'
Furthermore, experts say this ceiling type is especially charming in kitchen decor. Marea states: 'It adds texture and warmth to the space. It's both bright and clean and adds contrast against the walls. It's a great effect that draws the eye up yet does not overpower.' She continues, 'Hailey's pitch ceiling with the paneling elevates the eye in the space, and as the kitchen is typically a place for gathering, it's a great way to open it up. Paneling is a simple detail that makes the space feel intentional.'
Barry Gant, North Carolina-based kitchen expert and owner of 7 Day Kitchens adds that ceiling paneling has practical benefits beyond its aesthetic appeal in Hailey Bieber's kitchen. He says, 'For one, paneled ceilings are good for noise control. In A-frame kitchens with thin walls, sound can register strange textures, sometimes resulting in unwanted sound effects. Paneling helps facilitate this, making the kitchen more acoustically pleasing.'
He continues, 'Another big plus is insulation. The paneling adds another layer to help keep the kitchen warm, keeping it warm in colder months and cooler in warmer weather. This isn’t just about comfort; That, in turn, can mean savings on your energy bills.' In other words, don't forget about the ceiling.
