What do ceilings have in common?

Ceilings make or break a home, I believe something that makes all ceilings alike is the way that can impact a space. As well as I feel like we resonate different ceiling with different buildings or rooms. For instance we look at a type of ceiling and think of maybe a church, office, or room in a place we have been at before. What ceiling is your favorite?
