How to design around bulkheads - Design Lesson 20

In a perfect interior design world, there'd be no bulkheads. What's a bulkhead you ask? A bulkhead, also known as an interior soffit, is usually the cause of mechanical ductwork or plumbing that cannot be run within the ceiling joists of your home. So it's not hidden in the ceiling but lies underneath the joists. This ductwork is usually covered up with framing and drywall. And that's called a bulkhead. And it just happens. It can happen in your kitchen. It can happen in your living room. It's just one of those things that happens.

And because it just happens, it can be a bit of a design dilemma depending on where it happens. In most cases, you can't eliminate the bulkhead because you need the ductwork inside. So the key is managing the look of those bulkheads including size and length and location, so their not so obvious and not such an eye-sore.
