How to Integrate a Coffered Ceiling into Your Interior

When we talk about interior decoration, it seems that there are elements reserved for large houses. We still believe that the only place where we can find a special ceiling molding design or a large glittering chandelier would be a large mansion. The same is true for coffered ceilings. However, you don't have to have a huge house to be able to put in a coffered ceiling. Like wood floors and panels, coffered ceilings can fit in any room and home, regardless of size.

Find out below about different ways to incorporate a coffered ceiling into a home, so you can get inspired.

One Way to Make a Living Room Warmer

If the ceiling in your house is very high, it's a little hard to imagine how to make it look warm and less cavernous. Installing a coffered ceiling is a great way to make your ceiling a major asset.

Fine Moldings for a Not Particularly High Ceiling

Anyway, it is not necessarily essential to have a very high ceiling to be able to install a coffered ceiling. By choosing fine moldings, you can also adopt this trend. The result will surprise you.

An Alternative to Partitions in an Open Space

Many people choose an airy space and create an open plan for their living room. Afterwards, they are unfortunately forced to find a way to section the different areas of the room without being imposing partitions. Installing a coffered ceiling is one of the possible solutions to separate the kitchen area from that of the living room.

A Black Coffered Ceiling for a Unique Decor

Don't think that all coffered ceilings have to be painted completely white. By painting the boxes with a dark color, you will make your ceiling a striking element. You won't realize how much things can change.

A Coffered Ceiling in Contrasting Colors

You can also do the reverse. Instead of painting the moldings, paint the interior part with a dark color. Just be sure you're using the right color to avoid a fiasco like the incompatible duo of white and cream.

Unusual Shapes for a Contemporary Decoration

Are you looking to create a traditional interior with a little contemporary flair? Start by installing a coffered ceiling. Instead of opting for a classic coffered ceiling, install the moldings so as to create diamond shapes for example.

A Way to Transform a House That's Too Simple

Sometimes it pays to dare to be different. Add something innovative, like molding in original shapes, to transform a modest house into a modern mansion.

To Make A Library or Office More Formal

The most recommended room for an all-wood coffered ceiling is the bookcase; unless the library is not your priority. If you have a home office, install a coffered ceiling and you will see that your office will have a nice appearance that will help you focus.

An Easy-to-Install Coffered Ceiling

Adding a coffered ceiling doesn't necessarily have to involve a lot of work or huge expense. Find yourself some rustic wooden beams, which match the tones of the woodwork already used in your home. Install them on the ceiling like a classic coffered ceiling.
