Box beams, reclaimed beams, coffered and tray ceilings, paneled and smooth finishes that give the kitchen overhead interest.
The ceiling is the fifth wall of a kitchen, and it often gets ignored. A well-designed ceiling can make a room feel taller, cozier or grander. Exposed or faux beams add rustic charm. A coffered ceiling brings architectural interest. A tray ceiling frames the space and hides lighting. Even a perfectly smooth, freshly painted ceiling sets a clean backdrop for the new kitchen. In Nashville homes with a range of ceiling heights and styles, a thoughtful treatment ties the room together.
We start with what is above: joists, ducts, wiring and any structural elements. When beams are decorative, we build lightweight box beams from wood, finished to match or contrast with the cabinets. Real beams, reclaimed or new, require structural confirmation. For tray or coffered ceilings, we frame and finish with careful drywall and trim. Recessed lighting, speakers and vents are coordinated, and the whole ceiling is primed and painted for a flawless look. Finish matters as much as form. Beams can be stained to echo the floors, painted to match the cabinets or left in a contrasting tone for drama. We test samples in your light, because ceiling color and sheen change dramatically with the time of day and the lighting you choose below them.
We check joists, ducts and wiring before choosing a ceiling treatment.
