Here I added a gypsum board "bulkhead" to help define the spaces on either side of the kitchen. Making the walls extra thick allowed space for ductwork in this otherwise wide open floor plan. This home design offered for sale at Deephaven Modern Cottage |
Here is the same bulkhead idea as seen from the dining area. This home design offered for sale at Deephaven Modern Cottage |
Here you can see a subtle drop in ceiling above the foyer. The crown molding and color tone differences help to emphasize the edges of the space. This home design offered for sale at Lakeland Cape Cod |
Similar to above we positioned dropped "soffits"along the circulation lines between rooms. Simple gypsum board "columns" marked the corners of the spaces. We took advantage of the soffits by placing the main ductwork runs within. This home design offered for sale at Apple Valley Foursquare |
Hello!
ReplyDeleteLove the blog, just came across it - curious if you can share the paint colour used in the apple green kitchen/dining area?
Sorry, but I no longer have a record of those colors.
ReplyDeleteI want to take this moment to say that I really love this blog. It has been a good resource of information for me. Thank you so much
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, the “drop the ceiling” technique works perfectly fine. It does define spaces or create boarders. Your blog is just wonderful. It gives readers more ideas on how to transform their houses into homes.
