Do you mind sharing the ceiling height?

9 years ago

We are remodeling and raising our ceilings from 8 to 10. Love your island. Our designer has us doing something similar. Love the boxed ceiling but not sure about it on 10 feet. This looks beautiful.

Hi:
We coffered the ceiling to give an illusion of height because we couldn't go any higher.
The ceiling height is 8'-6" and the bottom of the beams is 7'-11" (both quite low), but the overall effect feels much higher. People are very surprised that the ceiling is not actually higher. We also have a shallow 2 1/2" cabinet "soffit" that helps by adding more detail.

The coffered ceiling kitchen is also bordered by a shallow dropped soffit that separates the kitchen from the family room.

The island was originally the owner's idea as they have small children and it makes for a very
practical and family oriented dining space. The darker tone of the island defines the island as
a separate space within the overall kitchen.

Good luck with your project!

Since you want a traditional look, that light in the dining room just will not do. How tall is the room? If it's sufficiently tall (it looks that way), you could look into a chandelier to replace the pendant in there now! Our guide to light sizing will let you know about hanging heights so you don't hit your head on the fixture: http://bit.ly/1cuh1Fj You'll find our selection of traditional chandeliers here and you can sort by size, finish, number of lights, etc.: http://bit.ly/1wkkGkU Do you need a light to go over the central island in the kitchen? I figure yes. You could go for a chandelier in this instance too, but you could also choose a larger ceiling pendant: http://bit.ly/ZDeGJ5 If you have any preferences for finish, number of lights, etc. and would like me to find you specific products, let me know!

I think you're right to change your plans tbh, I think pic 1 and 3 would work. Another option is a suspended woodburner. It's obviously not a divide but it gives you the break in the ceiling so acts as one. The first one attached is from fireplaceproductsUK. The other 2 are just images from leotrippi and homedesignht to show how they can act to divide a room. A much more expensive option is a glass fireplace, this is from acucraft fireplaces. I'm not sure how easy it is to find UK manufacturers/suppliers though. Alternatively you can just break the room with furniture layout and ceiling lights. The lights if hung properly ie at differing heights, clusters etc along with floor lamps will stop that cavernous feel. I can't obviously see the plan but if you're really set on a divide, and they are great!, you could set it off a side wall rather than down the centre of the room.

Hello Houzz Ireland, We are currently renovating a 1960's build - so as you know, there is a lot of decisions to be made!! So it would be nice to get some gems of advice from the experts to help us through this daunting task. Areas where we would really like some inspiration for - small bathroom downstairs. I would really like to do something fun with this room and although small, I think it could work really well with some funky wallpaper or possibly tiles?! I'm just not sure what to do with it. Also - pulling a whole house together?! Where do we start? We have the bigger pieces of furniture but how do I know what nest of tables goes best with a suite? Or what accessories will bring a room together? I'm due a second baby in 2 weeks time so any help at this stage would be so amazing - to guide me on the right interior design path for our new house. Thanks, Laurie
