As someone who grew up with wooden ceilings, I wonder: how are interior ceilings designed nowadays? My friend says wallpapering... how have you done it? (Solid house with wooden intermediate ceiling)

Solid wood house: Board-stacked ceiling on the ground floor, wooden beam ceiling on the upper floor. Both painted with white pigmented paint with UV protection to prevent darkening over time. Since cherry parquet flooring is installed everywhere except in the bathrooms and hallway, I thought a dark ceiling would be too much. I can provide pictures if desired. How do we learn to see? Dark earth, bright sky. In forested areas, like the Harz region, you find dark brown-green with shimmering light. In areas with open horizons, this turns into a bright flood of light. Therefore, I believe people from the Harz region prefer darker, hollow-feeling wood interiors than we in Schleswig-Holstein do. But dark ceilings are an absolute no-go for any visual aesthetics.

It’s a matter of personal taste. Exposed wooden beams are one thing, especially if the ceiling height is sufficient and it doesn’t feel oppressive, but fully boarding over the entire area in between, in my opinion, is something else. Even my grandmother had the wood paneling removed from her ceiling in the early 2000s. The fact that this is still being newly built today… well, it’s a matter of taste.
Gypsum plaster, skim-coated, painter’s fleece, painted white.
Solid wood with a natural finish was more expensive, no extra-high ceilings – an open gable would be different; otherwise, we fear it might feel too oppressive.
Wooden floor, wooden doors, wooden staircase.
Sufficient.
