Probably not. Are you building a country farm/ranch home?

You are going to do shiplap on the ceiling? Why? Shiplap belongs on the side of a boat so water is repelled, cutting rivets. You don't need that on a ceiling; very difficult to keep dust free, too heavy and expensive.

Do wood panels.

Something like this?

"Any suggestions?"

All the things you suggest should have been thought out during the design process, before construction started.

If that thing between the skylights is for a ceiling fan, move the skylights so the light coming through the skylights past the whirling fan blades does not cause flicker.

@markbischakarcitect Yea we didn't think it through before construction unfortunately. @elcieg is that tongue and groove or what exactly is the difference between shiplap and wood panels? I guess i am not educated on what shiplap vs wood panels is. If that is tongue and groove i actually read that was more expensive. we are going for a modern home with a coastal flare.

No shiplap.

Thank you!

Thumbs down on shiplap. This room is going to have beautiful light and that is enough.

Where is the house. I’m in the no shiplap camp usually but I just did a cottage in Maine where I covered every surface in v groove pine. If the house is otherwise traditional shiplap can seem gimmicky.

Cute kitchen, love the door, there's no junk on the ceiling.

Signed........hater of sky lights. : ) Apologies.

First shiplap was the outside of farm buildings and what is now called shiplap is afar cry from the original. IMO the shiplap ship sailed already and the skylights are all the busy you need so drywall for the ceilings . I actually wonder why those skylights with the huge windows ?

thanks patricia. because it is a sunroom and we wanted to feel like we are outside. the room is also small so felt it would open it up. turned out a little busy looking but ill take more natural light over busy.

lol jan. my mental health for natural light is more important than design, but i think it could have definitely been executed better in this space.

I like wood ceilings. I would go with an engineered product and you can get it pre-finished. I would plan on upgrading the insulation to a spray foam.

I hope when the ceiling is finished it doesnt emphasize how the 2 skylights are off balance on the ceiling. One skylight is right up against the wall and the other has breathing room.

Ya it’s a bummer. Wish I noticed it sooner. It’s actually a fireplace on the other side of that skylight.

Thanks windows on Washington!

Are you planning on heating and cooling that room? You will have a huge solar gain, heat problem in summer. That needs to be furred out enough to get in enough R value in foam insulation, as a start, to making it usable.
