I have always dreamed of having ceiling details in our home. So when we got the opportunity to contract our own build, we decided to add a coffered ceiling.
The detailed ceiling spans through our kitchen and eating nook. My husband framed the beams in by using floor joists. We ordered the lengths that we needed and were able to install it all in one day (the framing). It was a lot of work to paint, however it was so worth it. Be sure to discuss the labour cost with your drywaller/ mudder/ taper, as this is much added work for their trade. This is also something that can be added to an existing home as well, not just new builds.
There are also different ways it can be done (i.e. mdf).
It can also have more detailing added, like mouldings.
By painting it the same colour as our walls, it gives us the clean modern look we love. We are so happy with this ceiling and would do it again in a heartbeat.
The coffered ceiling gives us a reason to be looking up in our home!
