Whether it be an architectural condition such as AC, or a solution for dropping the ceiling to add recessed lights, soffits often end up in interiors. Rather than simply working around them, or all together ignoring them, I often try to either minimize their presence or work them into the crown molding detail.
When approaching the fine details of the interior, you have to also keep in mind how the eye reads and translates space. When you break up your visual plane, which is often what happens with soffits, your eye will inevitably relay that as a smaller space. Therefore, blending in the soffits helps to keep a visual continuity and thereby maximizing the visual size of the interior.
Below are a few good examples for "solving the soffit". Enjoy!

Another example of how applying decorative trim to the vertical surface of the soffit minimizes their presence as it simply blends into the crown and the detail ceiling ornament. |
