Coffered Ceiling - 'to Cornice' or 'Not to Cornice'

We're thinking of having coffered ceilings and bulkhead type things in our foyer and theatre room.

Does anybody have pictures of their coffered ceilings to show off? If so I'd love to see them. Did you have cornices installed, or did you just have the sharp edges of the gyprocky type stuff?

Thanks!

Hi Jodge,

This is mine in my entrance hall (past the other bulkhead!), and about the best pic I have of it. They will remain square set with no cornice.



It's now painted, but I can't get in to take any more pics for another week! Once they are finished there will be 1 french style lantern hanging in the middle (eventually). Some people have downlights in the bulkheads either side and that looks fabulous!

I guess it depends on what type of house you are having. If it's traditional, then you could put decorative cornice in them, but if it's modern, it's probably better to keep them square set.

oh crikey! Coffered ceilings galore!!!! I'm INSPIRED! Thanks Stormy. We're trying to minimalise downlights as we're not too fond of them so we'll probably go for something nice in the middle instead, like with yours. But for a few months at least, I'm sure we'll just have a light globe up there!

Hi Jodge

We have this in the upstairs living area. We have gone for the squareset and no cornices.
We dont have downlights either in this area, Instead would have one centre light fitting
We have seen houses with cornices in the coffered ceiling but we liked the clean lines of the square set
