Coffered Ceilings Add Value to Home
People always talk about the newest renovations to their homes: hardwood floors, freshly painted walls, or refurbished countertops. When thinking about all the renewed surfaces of a house, why are ceilings always the last thing left out? Since they're overhead, they're typically ignored, but maybe this is because nobody takes the time to do anything special with them. With the installation of coffered ceilings, any area of your house can quickly become the most popular room in the home because of their spacious and elegant appearance.

Crown Molding
This is original- made in France circa 1778
Generally, this type of appliqué was done in plaster with “composition” accents. The ceiling appliqué is in plaster as well. Beautifully executed craftsmanship still holds up after 231 years.
Ceiling Appliqué
An original 19th century ceiling. Plaster appliqué with coffered panels.
Composition Appliqué
Our interpretation with attention to details. Quality starts at the beginning. Crisp, clear, clean carving, mouldings, & product.
“We make our moulds and masters, if necessary. It’s not with taking chances especially when scheduling is involved. We save turn around time”.
Coffered Ceiling
Our interpretation circa 2009 (currently in production). Coffered ceilings in plaster & synthetic appliqué. This ceiling will be finished in a faux walnut when completed.
Creative Decoration and Cover Lighting
Although coffered ceilings are often found in more luxurious rooms, they are becoming more popular in everyday environments, such as kitchens, dining rooms, and even master bathrooms. But beyond the initial lattice-design, these ceilings can be enhanced with touches of embellishment. There are all kinds of molding, trim, and beams to choose from: what kind of wood would you like to choose? Do you want it varnished and glossy or rough and rustic? Do you want ornamental molding or do you want something smooth and streamlined? Though large hanging light fixtures take away from the ceiling's unique look, there are many lighting options out there: wall sconces, lamps, or cove lighting (light fixtures hidden behind the molding that cast a romantic glow and spotlights the ceiling itself) can help to create a mood to the room.
Plaster Appliqué
Our interpretation. Ceiling & crown appliqué. Pre-cast on site in plaster or resin. Once installed & painted, they will greatly resemble original centuries old rooms.
Grotto & Vaulted Ceilings
