Karen Packer Thanks for the reference to this old house. Do you have any pointers on the size of the beams to get the scale right? I have 12' ceilings and want them to look right.
A coffered ceiling can also be used to counterbalance a room's decor. Here, this elegant and all-white, deeply coffered ceiling adds structure and visual weight to the room, balancing the wall color and furniture style.
