My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Coffered ceiling advice

9 years ago

I'm building a Cape Cod-style house in Porto, Portugal. I plan to have coffered ceilings and I'd like to know whether the plasterboard ceilings should be dead white with the coffered feature an off-white, or vice versa? Suggestions, please!
