How many times have you glanced up at your ceiling and thought, “it needs a little something?” OK, so most of you probably will say, “never.” But, if you are anything like me, you are always looking for ways to add some character to a room. We have a beautiful living room with a great big, plain ceiling, and I’m thinking it would look fabulous with a coffered ceiling!
cof-fered cei-ling – (noun) a series of sunken panels in the shape of a rectangle, octagon or square in a ceiling.
Let’s take a look at some beautiful coffered ceiling examples to give us some ideas and inspiration.
Coffered Ceiling Examples
What a gorgeous coffered ceiling for an entry! This really defines the entry space and sets the tone for the rest of the house, right when you walk in the door.
This is one for my “dream house” files! I am in LOVE! It really makes this open concept room something truly special.
Talk about adding some drama to a living room! Love how the squares are painted a darker blue-gray color to contrast with the bright white trim.
A coffered ceiling is a great way to make any room feel more luxurious. Look how pretty the ceiling is in this main/master bedroom! I love the way the wood and white coffers contrast – simply beautiful.
Not all coffered ceilings are “chunky, ” like in the previous pictures. Here’s an example I found of someone who put in a faux coffered ceiling similar to what I’m thinking about doing in our living room. Isn’t it pretty? I love the subtle sophistication it gives the room!
This next one is also gorgeous! I just adore the way the ceiling and coffered trim are painted different colors. It really makes the white coffered ceiling pop!
I found a great tutorial on This Old House for installing a faux coffered ceiling like the ones above. I still don’t know if this is going to happen at our house – still trying to convince the hubby and find the time to do such a big project!
So, what do you think? Are you lucky enough to have a coffered ceiling in your home? Have you installed one, and can share some lessons learned?
Hey, this coffered ceiling blog is just amazing. I love the way you describe coffered ceiling ideas. I will definitely recommend this to my friend for his house.
