| Coffered ceilings match the cabinets and provide balance throughout the space. |
The trend right now is to paint everything white. While I like white, I don't believe it is always the answer. Case in point: My kitchen.
I love the light and bright trends in paint and decor right now and was uber excited to brighten up my kitchen with a nice new shade of griege on the walls. But, the new color created an imbalance in the space. Namely, the dark cabinets anchored the right side of room but there was no weight on the left half.
Separately, the two halves looked great, but as a whole, they weren't communicating with each other.
The solution: Add warm wood tones to the ceiling.
The biggest challenge - other than the up and down on the ladder - was figuring out how to space the "beams." It had to be balanced with the pantry, the wood hood, and the canned lights (because I really didn't want to have to move any electrical.)
