Although self building is the perfect time to incorporate a vaulted ceiling into your home design, it’s not the only opportunity to incorporate them. Anyone thinking about adding an extension, or those carrying out conversions to barns, former industrial buildings or in their own lofts, can all create stunning vaulted ceilings.
While we tend to be more accustomed to flat ceilings in our homes, with some forward planning, vaulted ceilings can add so much interest and volume to any interior — plus they can inject wow factor to both double- and single-storey spaces. From curved forms to angular shapes, these types of ceiling design can suit both contemporary and traditional homes, too.
While there are several different types of designs you could choose from, the term vaulted ceiling is generally used to describe a ceiling that extends up from the walls of a room, angling upwards. This creates a much greater ceiling height than the standard flat ceiling in the UK, which is usually around eight feet.
