Vaulted Ceilings: A Modern Twist on Classic Architecture

Like any good design idea, vaulted ceilings are a classic architectural feature that have stood the test of time and are as beautiful and relevant today as ever. (Check out more about the history, pros, and cons of vaulted ceilings inVaulted Ceilings 101)。在现代建筑中,拱形天花板看起来像什么?在当代空间中,他们甚至还有一个地方吗?

The answer, of course, is unequivocally YES! The term “vaulted” has morphed into a fairly generic term for “raised,” when it comes to ceilings. So, although today’s vaulted ceilings look much less elaborate than ancient vaults, the overall effect is similar – an airy, spacious design aesthetic.

Exposed beams are a traditional-type architectural element that have taken their place in contemporary dwellings, and for good reason. They create clean lines and visual interest on a surface (the ceiling) that too often goes ignored. These beams are best shown off with vaulted ceilings, where they are more easily seen and also out of the way.

Tall ceilings in a large room are noticeable, to be sure, but tall ceilings in a very small room (like this dining room) are absolutely stunning. Tall windows keep the room from feeling like an elevator-cave, and a gorgeous low-hanging light fixture help to visually create a cozy space below.

A托盘天花板– a ceiling in which all but the outer perimeter of the room’s ceiling is raised about a foot – is a less intrusive alternative to vaulted ceilings.

Darker wood floors contrast beautifully with a white vaulted ceiling (with the light color enhanced by plenty of natural light via skylights and windows).
