See the ceiling lattices in the attached photos? We are doing the same in a house we are completing now, and I’ll take some how-we-did-it photos and post them here.
The architect used these as a way to define space change from room to room, when there are no walls or portals. In this case, the dining “room” is separated by these ceiling lattices from the adjacent living room and kitchen spaces. The whole thing was shown in a FH article, “Rooms without walls,” July 2003, #156.
Each is over 16 feet long, and 42 to 49 inches wide. Slats are 3/4 x 2-3/4, and the whole lot of clear cherry, with the lattice parts bought prefinished, cost over $2,200.

We've got them in our house, and clean them with a dusting rig, sort of a high-tech feather duster end on a small pole handle. The fluffwad end is some sort of spaceage fabric treated with some new millenium chemical. A stepstool get us shorties up high enough.
Hey - I had a hand in editing that article. But none of us actually thought anybody would do it. <G>
Do you like the effect?
