Kansas City: Dining Room

Fratantoni Interior Designers • February 13, 2017

Dining Room

One of the first things we wanted to check was this amazing floating ceiling that our designers created. The difficulty with this unique feature was taking your average flat ceiling and create an eye catching design element that draws your attention to the crystal chandelier along with the other elegant details surrounding it. With creating this feature, we wanted to give this space it’s own unique look and feel. With the floor plan being a primarily open, we wanted to make sure that our clients had a designated formal Dining Room.

Suspended ceilings have become a symbol of modernity and sophistication these days. Besides being capable of adorning the beauty of a place and being in vogue it has many functional roles to play as well.Modern dropped ceilings were initially created to hide the building infrastructure, including piping, wiring, and/or ductwork, by creating a plenum space above the dropped ceiling, while allowing access for repairs and inspections.

Why Luxury Custom Homes Need Architecture Interior Design and Construction to Work Together

By Josie Fratantoni • April 15, 2026

Building a luxury custom home requires more than strong ideas in separate phases. It requires architecture, interior design, and construction to work together from the beginning. In high end residential design, every decision affects another, which is why a more collaborative process often leads to a better final result. A ceiling detail can influence lighting. Cabinetry design can affect framing and electrical planning. Material selections can impact installation, timelines, and architectural detailing. When these disciplines are aligned early, the home feels more cohesive, more intentional, and more fully resolved. At Fratantoni, our in house teams at Fratantoni Design, Fratantoni Interior Designers, and Fratantoni Luxury Estates work together to create luxury homes that are thoughtfully developed from concept to completion.

Why Luxury Interior Design Should Start Before Your Custom Home Is Built

By Jessica Fratantoni • April 7, 2026

Building a custom home is one of the most exciting opportunities a homeowner can experience. It is a chance to create a residence that reflects your lifestyle, aesthetic, and long term vision in a way that feels deeply personal. For luxury homeowners, that process should be intentional from the very beginning. Every room, finish, architectural detail, and functional feature should work together to create a home that feels cohesive, elevated, and entirely custom. One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make when building a new home is waiting too long to involve an interior designer. Many people assume interior design begins after the floor plan is complete or once construction has already started. In reality, the most successful luxury homes begin with interior design much earlier in the process.
