Dropped ceiling- need urgent help

7 år siden
Hello
We have a new construction going on.
We took a small idea from one of the pictures on houzz.com and planned a dropped ceiling in the kitchen over the Island. We paid for this(500$).
Not a lot considering the total cost of the house.
However we are very confused if this is a design disaster. Our initial plan was to put pendants in the middle and 4 recessed lights at the corners.
Please advise. I could ask the builder to cut it off now. See attached picture.
The ceiling is 9'.
Style is transitional.
Thanks

    If you have seen a picture with this look that you really liked, then it might work out okay if you stay committed to everything in that design (maybe post that picture on this thread). However, a lot of the new build and remodel work that we are seeing is trending toward cleaner lines with a "less is more" philosophy. If they have ceiling soffits, they tend to be on the outside walls. Here are a few pictures of kitchen islands with pendant lighting that we have done that might help with your decision. Good luck!

      That,s the problem.I cherry picked that part from another house which had extensive soffits with decorative pieces installed in them. And I came to know later I cannot do rest of the plan as my walls are 9'( the other house was at least 10').

      Looks odd to me, I'd remove it.

      Remove it. That kind of box is often used as a coverup for previous structures, clearly not the case with a nice new house.

      I would definitely remove it. Usually dropped ceiling areas are only there to hide things like electrical or duct work. I wouldn't put one there on purpose.

      Oh dear, yeah you have to take that off while you can.

      I can't see the purpose of the dropped ceiling. You did a niche in reverse. This can only be limiting to your choices and a bit of an eyesore. It really does need to go. You won't regret it.

      undo while its inexpensive, but don't feel bad. its good to be attracted to interesting *different* ideas, and also good (maybe even better) to know instinctively that its not going to work. a relatively small price for a great learning experience.

      You caught in it in time, I would remove it as well. Inexpensive misstep, no big deal.
