SMART DESIGN: WHY NOT TILE THE CEILINGS IN A KITCHEN?!

December 21, 2010
  • Share

Kitchen with dark wood cabinets, floating shelves, subway tile backsplash, stainless appliances, a hanging pot rack and an island with stained wood cabinets and a wooden counter top

Was browsing through one of my favorite design sites, Remodelista, this morning and saw this cool kitchen from Made, a design firm in NYC.

Thinking a lot about kitchens and cooking lately as I have invited family members over for Christmas! Oh dear… I say oh dear not because of family but because I have not a moment to spare to plan a proper dinner. I have a photo shoot for some fab home furnishings I will be bringing to you in 2011 (I wonder how many of you actually read the blog…if so, you will know that this is the first mention I’ve made of my new venture. By the way, just to clarify, I don’t expect anyone to read my jibberish at all as I am a pictures only type of girl…have had a hard time concentrating long enough to read anything as of late…I have kind of regressed to being 3 year old that can only look at things with big pictures and I have other people tell me what is going on… LOL!). That photo shoot lasts until the week hours of Thursday night/Friday morning…so all my prepping has been focused on that. Christmas dinner will just have to come together…it will! I need an extra set of hands. I really do!

Anyhooooo….love this space, the stone field tile floors, the rustic wood cabinetry, the large island with the pot rack hanging above, the open shelving above the stainless country sink…a warm cozy space with that manages to feel perfectly polished and a little rugged at the same time!

The best part of this kitchen I think is the fully tiled hood with white subway tiles that go up to the ceiling and then onto the ceiling. So cool…I would call this floor-to-ceiling-to-ceiling tiles!

Love this…

What do you think?

Happy Tuesday (still raining here in Los Angeles!)

    I like the fact that it is asymmetrical but i don’t think it really works in this kitchen – it actually takes away from the lovely flooring and i find that it makes the kitchen appear smaller.

    While this may not appeal to everyone, the border tile design on a high ceiling drops it down giving the room a warmer feeling. Dorothy Durbin Designs

    I love how the kitchen is tiled. I am thinking about tiling an accent wall in my main level poweder room… maybe small rectangular tiles in a herringbone pattern. Thanks for a great post!

    oh this crazy rain. I feel like I’m on a movie set. Although I’ll admit, I kind of like having some “real” weather. 🙂

    Well, I read what you write and I say “Congratulations” on the expansion of your biz. It makes perfect sense because you have a great eye for style. I can’t wait to see what the whole new venture entails.

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸
One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional.
In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space.
If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it.
Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍

A great vaulted ceiling doesn’t just add height. It changes how a room feels entirely. The best ones make you stop, look up, and never want to leave.

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.

A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.
