Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 22, 2009 4:05 pm 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?

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!
