Refine Any Room With a Coffered Ceiling

Coffered ceilings add dimension, charm, and a touch of traditionalism to a home, with bold beams turning any ceiling into a masterpiece.

Previously found only in ornate public buildings such as libraries or elaborate character homes, coffered ceilings are now available for a much wider range of projects—restoration or new construction, and in every size or shape of room. They can be found in offices, dens, dining rooms, kitchens, master bedrooms, and more. Not only do coffered ceilings add warmth and comfort to a room, but they make a room look extravagant.

Coffered ceilings are usually divided into squares, rectangles or polygons, creating a unique and intricate design. They look best with ceilings that are eight feet high or more.

Whether you’re looking for a traditional or contemporary design, or perhaps just looking for a way to give a room a facelift, a coffered ceiling can refine any room.
