DRAB TO DRAMA: Making a statement with Coffered & Paneled Ceilings
When designing a space, we tend to pay attention to what’s in front of us and below us, but we rarely look up. This is likely because we treat our ceilings in one of two ways: flat white paint or stippling. Whether we’re uninspired or don’t have much money in the budget, there are far better ceiling treatments to round out your room.
Try considering a coffered or paneled ceiling kit. They are a fast and cost effective alternative to flat or stippled ceilings and can be a great way to cover repaired damage from water leaks and re-patching - in very little time with little or no mess!
Coffered ceilings are divided into squares or rectangles by beams, creating more depth and a luxurious look overall for your ceiling. Although they originated in Ancient Rome and Greece, they have withstood the test of time and held their own in the cluttered landscape of concrete and brushed steel caused by the recent modern invasion in home and interior design. Not only do coffered and paneled ceilings create an air of grandeur and round out the design of your space, they also absorb noise and can conceal lighting to enrich the mood for you and your guests.
