It is often that people decide to design or decorate a room in their house and somehow they forget about the ceiling. The fact is that the ceiling designs with molding is an integral part of the home interior and a decoration element that should not be overlooked.
What is a coffered ceiling?
In architecture, the term “coffer” is used for a sunken panel in a ceiling. The word has originated from ancient Greek word “kophinos”, which means “basket.” A coffered ceiling is a grid of squares or rectangles that is applied to the ceiling to imitate the effect of crisscrossing beams. Usually, after completion of construction, crown molding is applied to the inside of each of the panels to create a richly elegant appearance. The panels can be in the shape of a square, rectangle, or octagon.
Most popular lighting solutions for coffered ceilings are suspended lighting, recessed lights and chandeliers. Some modern designs feature original LED lighting and combinations of different lighting fixtures. If the room has enough height, a large chandelier will be the perfect complement to the coffered ceiling. In large rooms you can install two chandeliers and you will have a double effect. Crystal chandeliers look dramatic and add incomparable elegance to the interior. Wrought iron chandeliers are suitable for rustic decors while modern pendant chandeliers can be used in contemporary interiors. In combination with recessed lights and other light sources you will have not only a beautiful ceiling but you can make it a focal point.
