One of the coolest applicatons of a barrel ceiling has to be found in the kitchen Archways & Ceilings supplied to a customer. This particular customer was looking to create a unique architectural element so they decided to create a series of barrel vaults that would be framed on top of old beams. The barrel vaults simply sat on top of these beams and later was drywalled and then coverd in brick. The combination of old world beams, multiple barrel ceilings and brick created in our opinion the coolest barrel ceiling for a kitchen.

Barrel Vault Ceilings are extremely popular because they can be added to almost any room. The rise of a barrel can be adjusted to create a half circle, elliptical or a soft appearance. What does this mean? Well, basically you can adjust the overall height of the barrel to fit your room. For example, if you have low ceilings then you would create a soft barrel ceiling. If you had high ceilings and were looking to make an impression then you would create a half circle barrel vault. If you had a tricky situation where the roof rafters were impeading in on your ceiling then you may need to create an elliptical barrel vault to help curve under the rafters and maximize your height.
The most common place Archways & Ceilings sees barrel vault ceilings at are in the hallways. Most of our customers are looking to add a little flare to their boring long hallways. By simply adding the barrel ceiling, the hallway now has character.
See some examples below!

Often when you think of a barrel vault you picture half of a circle. When barrel ceilings are that curved they create more of a dramatic impression in a home. Barrel Vaults do not have to be so dramatic all the time. We recently had a customer ask for a less dramatic feature so we suggested to create a soft rise barrel. A barrel vault with a soft rise is subtle but elegant. The barrel ceiling will deliver that architectural detail and not overwhelm the room. Take a look below, the tile he added also brings a unique quality to the room.

When building your home it is important to have small architectural details to help give your home some character. A great way to bring a little character to a space is to add a barrel ceiling. Barrel Ceilings are great because they can be subtle or they can be extreme.
The bath room is one place that gets overlooked and it can quickly become generic from home to home. By simply placing a barrel vault over the Shower / Tub, you can create a little character making your bathroom look custom and one of a kind.
