Dear Friends,

I need some help deciding what ceiling/niche designs looks better. My plan is to put some 4 halogen inset lights,
these will be pointing to the wall behind the tv. My actual ceiling height is just 8 feet high.

What of the 6 options you like the most? (The first one is the original wall)

Thanks!!!

Option 2 looks like the cleanest option.

Option 5 could be interesting if you put some accent lighting on the recessed area.

Jay... you really read my mind... I forgot to mention that Option 4 and Option 5 have some indirect lighting on the reccessed areas.

Definitely #2 - the others are too busy and contrived.

Thanks! for your replies....My only concern about option 2 is that it is only 6"tall I dont know if that will look weird

OPTION 2 is the clear winner here - modern/contemporary keep things minimal and purposeful!

Marie dont you think that a Soffit of just 6 inches tall but 12 feet long will look weird?

Option 2 but I would do wall washes in stead of straight halogen down beams because the reflective glare on the tv will drive you nuts.

Christine, Sure! I will put the halogen lights more close to the back of the wall and setup the halogen lights with a some angle so the light wash the wall and not the TV. Thanks

Less is more. Options 1, 3, 4, and 5 are too busy.
I would align the soffit with the door header, but I would also do a perpendicular wall next to the door, and aligned with the column on the left. That way you have a real niche, and you would cover the side of the cabinet / credenza.

Metalboy, your perpendicular wall next to the door is really nice and it would balanced the look and create a real niche, but that will require some electrical changes and I really dont want to mess with the electrical wiring in that part. Nice design vision metalboy!
