Revisit Traditional Architecture by Opting For Coffered Ceilings
Coffered ceilings are a feature that defines traditional interiors. With time, it has been forgotten. But coffered ceilings can be reinvented and there are lots of ways in which you can reintroduce them into your home. Coffers are basically dropped beams that form a grid.
Traditional designs usually featured regular spacing and heavy millwork but nowadays the focus falls more on the visual effect and on the modern twists that can applied to this type of design.Technically, coffered ceilings would look best in spaces with high ceilings because they add dimensions to a space but they also interfere with the overall structure and openness of a room.
As for the designs and variations, there are many ways in which you can adapt this detail to your own home. For example, you can maintain a traditional design while also giving it a modern twist by emphasizing an asymmetrical arrangement of the beams. Also, flat boards can be used instead of moldings. You can also use color and unusual materials to turn the ceiling into a beautiful focal point.
