Styles of Vaulted Ceilings

Vaulted ceilings are true feats of architectural prowess. There are different types of vaulted ceilings and they lend themselves to different interior design styles.

1. Arched vault ceiling

These arch as they go up and feature curved, self-supporting structures rather than straight vaulted ceiling beams.

2. Barrel vault ceiling

This has a simple curved slope extending from wall to wall and looks like one half of a circular barrel.

Vaulted Ceiling Design Ideas

Vaulted ceilings are great for showcasing the beautiful bones of traditional, old houses that have exposed woodwork and beams. More modern designs lean towards false ceiling design and panelling to create the same magnificence.

Here are inspiring ideas, from the classic to the contemporary, for your vaulted ceiling:

A large minimalist living room with a double height triangle ceiling design combined with wood beams, exposed brick walls and light wooden flooring, layered with soft, beige and cream rugs and a stunning settee will create a chic and sophisticated modern space.
