Ceilings take center stage: 7 styles from CASACOR Mato Grosso 2026 to inspire you traduzido por: OPENROUTER

From vibrant tones to wood, the ceilings at CASACOR Mato Grosso 2026 prove that the so-called "fifth wall" can be one of the most expressive elements of decoration. Instead of remaining discreet, this surface takes on new functions in the show's projects: it directs the gaze, reinforces concepts, and helps build narratives that go beyond furniture and traditional finishes.

In its 25th anniversary edition, CASACOR Mato Grosso brings together 26 projects inspired by the theme Mind and Heart. Among different interpretations of contemporary architecture, some projects stand out precisely for their creative way of exploring the ceiling. Below, we have gathered seven styles seen at the show that can inspire new possibilities for decoration.

Colors that climb up the walls

One of the most effective resources for transforming a space is to abandon white on the ceiling — and Rodolfo Martins did just that with conviction in Home Cinema Reprise. The choice was red: a color that warms, envelops, and gives the space an immediate identity. The project was conceived as a sensory refuge, where each element was designed to evoke a sense of belonging — the comfort that embraces, the light that welcomes, the details that tell stories without needing words. The red of the ceiling is echoed in the rug, while the other elements of the project balance the proposal with neutral tones, avoiding saturation and ensuring sophistication to the whole.

Patterns beyond the walls

Replacing paint with wallpaper is another decision that radically transforms the reading of a space. At CASACOR Mato Grosso 2026, Ana Lívero explored this possibility with delicacy in Cora's Bedroom. Inspired by the film Cora Coralina, the project proposes a reflection on the impacts of excessive technology use during adolescence, and the decorative choices respond to this intention: colors and textures designed to evoke positive stimuli. In this context, the striped wallpaper in light tones adorns the ceiling and lends lightness to the space.

Warmth through wood

Luiza Paim Arquitetura e Interiores - Suíte Master Aura. Projeto de CASACOR Mato Grosso 2026. (Gilberto Galdino/CASACOR)

When the intention is to create coziness, wood rarely disappoints. Luiza Paim chose the wooden ceiling of the Aura Master Suite to suggest a "constant embrace" — a sensory response to the distractions of an increasingly fast-paced world. The material works in harmony with the delicate lighting and the nest-concept bed, creating a space where the couple begins and ends their days wrapped in tranquility.

Curves that shape the ceiling

William Magaiver - Restaurante Lar. Projeto de CASACOR Mato Grosso 2026. (Gilberto Galdino/CASACOR)

The cove moldingsare no longer limited to a technical function and have taken on a leading role in interiors. When designed with organic lines, they help guide the eye and add movement to the space. For example: in the Restaurante Lar, William Magaiver uses curved shapes to break away from the rigidity of the traditional ceiling. The reddish lighting recessed into the coves creates depth and contrasts with the light-colored paint, reinforcing the vibrant identity of the projects and dialoguing with its relaxed proposal.

The ceiling can also tell stories

Ivã Guimarães - Sala de Leitura Além da Fronteira. Projeto de CASACOR Mato Grosso 2026. (Gilberto Galdino/CASACOR)

Inscribing a phrase or a drawing on the ceiling is a gesture that carries intention and meaning, as in the Sala de Leitura Além da Fronteira – signed by Ivã Guimarães at CASACOR Mato Grosso 2026. The space was conceived to go beyond individual reading: it is a place for good conversations, exchanges, and the sharing of feelings. The Guimarães Rosa quote drawn on the ceiling works as a silent invitation to those who enter, setting the tone of the projects even before the visitor settles in.

Lighting as an architectural element

Adriana Martins - Quarto do Rapaz Contratempo. Projeto de CASACOR Mato Grosso 2026. (Gilberto Galdino/CASACOR)

Lighting is an indispensable element in any project, but in Contratempo — Quarto do Rapaz, Adriana Martins elevated it to a leading role. Large lighting tracks were arranged in rounded openings in shades of blue, creating a visual effect that gives depth and charm to the ceiling. The projects are divided between a study area and a digital universe, bringing together pieces that evoke memory, protection, and permanence. Lighting here does not just illuminate: it structures the space, guides the eye, and contributes to the atmosphere of the projects.

Layers that transform the way we see

Samyha Breda e Helder Martins - Quarto do Bebê Tesouros do Coração. Projeto de CASACOR Mato Grosso 2026. (Gilberto Galdino/CASACOR)

A single resource is not always enough to create a striking ceiling. The combination of materials, different planes, patterns, and lighting allows for sophisticated compositions full of personality. This is exactly the path taken by Samyha Breda and Helder Martins in the Quarto do Bebê Tesouros do Coração. Inspired by the series Anne with an E, the projects revive memories of childhood in the countryside through a ceiling that combines several of the resources mentioned above. The composition synthesizes the concept of the project and demonstrates how the "fifth wall" can become one of the leading elements of the decor.
