CEILING CONCEPTS
The ceiling is a powerful design element that can add visual interest, drama, and character to a space. However, custom homeowners often need to pay more attention to this feature. There are many types of ceiling ideas and designs from which to choose. Here are some popular ceiling concepts to consider for your custom home:
Coffered Ceiling
A coffered ceiling is a set of recessed panels arranged in a grid. It can make a room look grand and give it more of a three-dimensional feel. You'll often see them in formal rooms like dining rooms and living rooms, but you can also use them in more casual spaces to add a touch of class.
Tray Ceiling
A tray ceiling is a raised ceiling recessed in the middle, creating a "tray" effect. This type of ceiling idea can add depth and dimension to your room, likely in bedrooms, bathrooms, and dining rooms. You can even add lighting to create a warm and inviting ambiance.
Cathedral Ceiling
A cathedral ceiling is a tall, peaked ceiling that can add a sense of grandeur and drama to a room. You'll find them in great rooms and entryways because they make your space more spacious and airy. You can save on your energy bill with some natural lighting too. Cathedral ceilings can also be designed with skylights or clerestory windows to bring natural light.
Vaulted Ceiling
A vaulted ceiling is a ceiling that is raised and arched. It is another way to make your space feel larger. With the higher ceiling, you will feel like your furniture takes up less space in the room, making it feel airy.
