How to Crown Your Kitchen
When remodeling your kitchen, it’s common to focus on the flooring, cabinetry, and countertops. However, the heart of your home deserves a proper crown as well. Pragmatic choices of the past merely concealed the pipes, wiring, and ductwork. Now, they are becoming more stylish to pair well with the rest of the room and create an atmosphere that flows. The list of design and material options available is quite long, so to keep this blog from turning into a novel, we’ll showcase a handful of our favorite projects.
Vaulted/Cathedral
This architectural design element brings an expansive feel to any room and can rise more than 15 feet depending on your home’s construction. Once left to great rooms and living areas, they are gaining popularity in master bedrooms and kitchens for a good reason.
Coffered
In larger spaces, coffered ceilings with the appropriate lighting, bring an air of elegance and refinement, as well as depth. Your ceiling’s joints and beams are adorned with trims and moldings to achieve the luxury look. Coffered ceilings can increase the value of your home and are more expensive than other options.
Tray or Tiered
If a flat, conventional ceiling leaves your kitchen feeling too boxed in, tray or tiered may be for you. Depending on your goal, you can add height, depth, and a bit of drama with an array of lighting options to achieve your perfect look.
Exposed
Rather than conceal piping and trusses, you may prefer to go with an industrial or historical look. Using warm tones or blending modern and rustic elements can create a space that is uniquely yours while celebrating its original construction.
Beam
The creative potential with a beamed ceiling is nearly infinite. Although they may typically bring to mind a rustic wood style, there are trims, moldings, and faux options to help create any look you aspire.
