I hope everyone is faring well with the storm. It\u2019s not too bad here in Boston, just a steady soaking rain, which we really need.<\/p>\n<p>Some of you have asked me to do a post about vaulted and cathedral ceilings. And yes, a beautifully designed vaulted ceiling can be magnificent. However, when the proportions, angles, mouldings, beams, windows, or lighting are wrong, it can wreck the entire room.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>This post about problem ceilings began several years ago as a guide to the most common ceiling problems.<\/h4>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Later, I added a much larger section about vaulted ceilings, plus a virtual makeover I spent far too long creating. However, it was great fun getting rid of the fugly. So, today, I\u2019m giving the post a thorough update and putting everything into (hopefully) a more logical order.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, vaulted ceilings are only one category of problem ceilings.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Below are five more types of problem ceilings.<\/h4>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the ceilings are too low<\/li>\n<li>too large and expansive<\/li>\n<li>covered in popcorn<\/li>\n<li>broken up with strange angles because of stairs and attics<\/li>\n<li>ceilings weighed down with way too heavy coffers and sometimes mouldings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And then, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/laurelberninteriors.com\/tray-ceilings-the-good-bad-the-truly-hideous\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tray ceilings, and this post below goes into the horrors they often bring.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"qjsRp0QP7H\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/laurelberninteriors.com\/tray-ceilings-the-good-bad-the-truly-hideous\/\">Tray Ceilings, The Good, Bad, &amp; The Truly Hideous<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cTray Ceilings, The Good, Bad, &amp; The Truly Hideous\u201d \u2014 Laurel Home\" src=\"https:\/\/laurelberninteriors.com\/tray-ceilings-the-good-bad-the-truly-hideous\/embed\/#?secret=OA75hSKAUv#?secret=qjsRp0QP7H\" data-secret=\"qjsRp0QP7H\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Okay, you know, a bad ceiling can really bring down a room.

A low, large, expansive <a href=\"https:\/\/laurelberninteriors.com\/modest-starter-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">POPCORN ceiling.<\/a> (please click on that link for lots of great ideas for problem ceilings)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>I can\u2019t think of one decorating issue from the 20th century that confounds me more than the all-too-common popcorn ceiling.<\/h4>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure that there must\u2019ve been a logical reason for it. Did someone think that it helps with acoustics? Not much, I don\u2019t think. They\u2019re just another of those bad ideas made popular in the second half of the 20th century. Fortunately, most are now eager to rid the planet of popcorn; on problem ceilings, that is.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>There are two basic ways to get rid of the hideous popcorn.

But, I definitely recommend having a professional take care of it.

I would also always wear protective gear.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>IF the popcorn is very even and low, it is possible to cover it with various products.<\/h4>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>What is anaglypta wallpaper?<\/h4>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is a heavy, embossed wallpaper that can go on the wall or on the ceiling.

(we\u2019ll get to that in a sec) Sometimes the beam will make sense because there\u2019s already a post holding up the ceiling somewhere. That is a logical place to run a beam if there isn\u2019t one there already. But sometimes there\u2019s the one post and what would make sense is to add a beam going perpendicular and possibly another post, somewhere else, if necessary for symmetry.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-37897\" alt=\"my old home awkward floor plan\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1321\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/laurelberninteriors.com\/problem-ceilings-that-could-definitely-wreck-your-room\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Problem Ceilings That Could Definitely Wreck Your Room\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/laurelberninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/19-37860-post\/Lowell-Court-my-old-home-awkward-floorplan-1000x1321.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laurelberninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/19-37860-post\/Lowell-Court-my-old-home-awkward-floorplan.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/laurelberninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/19-37860-post\/Lowell-Court-my-old-home-awkward-floorplan-420x555.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Above is the floor plan of our old townhouse in Goldens Bridge, NY.<\/h4>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a post located just as you come up the stairs from the front door.

And, the other architectural elements. As you can see, there is no adornment whatsoever on the vaulted ceiling. Still, something\u2019s off.

It will look like a shade is pulled down part of the way.) Just take off the moulding, add a piece of sheetrock to bring them down to the appropriate height, and then put back the moulding.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I think a relatively simple running crown or horizontal piece for the vaulted ceiling.
