Big Nik's ceiling
Photo
light rail with sconces: this could work nicely where framing prohibits installing lights flush in the wall
Q
Photo
pot rack/hanging light over island: very traditional version of the frame/box over an island
Q
Photo
truss lighting: yours would be a big truss! big impact.
Q
Photo
wall colour, beam detail, put uplights in cabinet tops/valence: simple but effective, notice the ridge beam
Q
Photo
big mobile pendant/art light: gentle ambient lighting but BIG visual impact. people will think you found your artistic side ;)
Q
Photo
contrast island colour, ceiling panels, pendants: beautiful added interest (you could do similar with moulding strips & paint, the dark blue island colour with a sky blue ceiling would be pretty fab.
Q
Photo
interesting light rail, modern with trad: love how the hanging bar runs with the ridge line and lines up with the island
Q
Photo
LED lights in valence -read comments regarding light temperature!!: using LEDs is a great idea for energy efficiency & not having to change bulbs but they can feel 'cold' have to make sure you get the 'warm' bulbs
Q
Photo
room divider shelf/wall: i would consider putting 'something' above your fridge/closet up to the ceiling. the dead-space builders leave above closets always seems weird to me...people end up putting fake plants up there that just look bad.
Q
Photo
modern long hanging pendant in traditional room: just about any hanging pendant can be ordered with super long cables...you just have to ask
Q
Photo
colour ceiling, beam & pendants: the sky blue ceiling makes a space feel so comfortable i think
Q
Photo
long hanging lightbox: in your a big space something like this could work...maybe too modern?
Q
Photo
contrast beams with uplighting: i think doing some uplighting in your space would really be great
Q
Photo
really long hanging track: this is very elegant
Q
Photo
traditional beam-contrast rustic wood with modern design: another version of the beam look
Q
Photo
wall mounts above cabinets: like the big goose-neck lights, so much more character than ugly "basic bulder" tracks
Q
Photo
dropped frame over island: clean, modern version of the dropped frame
Q
Photo
dropped frame over island: i like how the dropped wood frame section over the island brings the scale down to make the work space more intimate. the rest is a bit too elaborate for your space i think...it is lovely timber work though
Q
Photo
wall mount sconces as uplights, hanging pendants on slope: you'd have to take a closer look at where you could mount lights above all those windows...framing could interfere
Q
Photo
contrast ceiling colour with valence: valence more like a traditional crown molding, with the contrasting colour it looks great
Q
Photo
feature wall colour: love the idea of a bold colour on a limited space, adds a lot of character for just the painting you'd do anyway
Q
Photo
add more detail to big open ceilings: even adding just a ridge beam to your ceiling would add some interest, not sure how it would run into the rest of the ceiling...hard to tell from the limited photos. you could create a nice carved end-cap or something
Q
Photo
dropped tracks: these cable tracks are so light & open they don't take anything away from the space
Q
Photo
light valence more traditional: i'm really liking the valence idea, think about it
Q
Photo
dropped beams: not sure this is my favorite look but it's an option, your kitchen might be too wide for it to work properly
Q
Photo
create beams for new electrical: you have awesome ceiling space but it (in the real estate pics at least) lacks detail or interest. adding some (fake) architectural features could really amp up the wow factor
Q
Photo
light valence for uplighting: this is very modern but the valence idea could work very nicely in your kitchen
light rail with sconces: this could work nicely where framing prohibits installing lights flush in the wall
