Many people consider coffered ceilings to be a modern invention, since their name sounds relevant. But at the same time, the history of this type of finish has a very rich. You can meet variations of coffered ceilings in old estates. From French, “caisson” is translated as “box”. The name of the ceilings was obtained precisely from the fact that their constituent elements have this form. This part was once of practical importance. The ceilings were held on supporting beams, which formed the caissons. Initially, no one thought about the decorativeness of the ceiling.
Again, coffered ceilings came into fashion relatively recently. They are experiencing a “rebirth” due to the fact that everything is not limited to an attractive appearance. The functions of the caisson, of course, today are mainly decorative, since they are no longer used in quality of supporting structures, however, in modern life, some other quality.
In particular, wooden coffered ceilings have a positive effect on room acoustics. They can be used to enhance the soundproofing of the room. In addition, caissons can mask defects in the base ceiling.
Intricate carvings were used to decorate coffered ceilings. Similar finishes are found today, however, smooth beams are more common. They fit better in modern interiors, but at the same time they look no worse than decorated with decor.
It is worth considering that there is a lot of space for coffered ceilings made of wood, so the height of the room should be at least three meters. It is clear that no one will prohibit the use of this decoration option in rooms where the ceiling height is less, but the result will not look particularly beautiful. It is better in this case to choose any other finishes.
Wooden coffered ceilings are usually done by professionals. There are a lot of details in such a finish, they should be adjusted to each other as accurately as possible. It will be difficult for an amateur to cope with the implementation of such a project. However, the market also offers ready-made solutions that can be mounted independently.
Wooden coffered ceilings make it possible to create a truly elegant and very beautiful interior. This is the decoration of the room, and not just another detail of decoration. Wood species are usually chosen quite expensive, having a beautiful texture. The pattern should be uniform throughout the ceiling.
