Cough it Up with Coffer
Ah..There you go! Talk about home ceilings and coffered ceilings can be a good choice amongst them. Craftsman style coffered ceilings with stained wood coffers and wood crown molding act as cross beams in wood ceilings. Tin or faux tin coffers can also be used in coffer ceilings. When you use tin or faux tin, first fix the tin or wallpaper panels. Then you can use crown molding as cross beams.

Waltzing with Vault
Vaulted ceilings are those which arch up or angle from the walls till the ceiling. Vaulted ceilings makes a room appear high and spacious. A similar, albeit a little different design is a cove ceiling. These type of ceilings have a concave surface which join the walls and the flat ceiling.

Divine Ceiling Intervention
What better can there be than having a divine intervention for your house. I am referring to a cathedral type of ceiling. As the name suggests it has been inspired from the cathedral ceilings, which are high and sloping. Moreover, these are joint to the roof trusses directly, rising all the way to the top of the house. These ceilings give a fantastic, spacious feel to the room and a real dramatic look. Although being really high, these are difficult to work with.
