Okay, so you ordered the best custom-made cabinetry and a rare cut of marble for your counter tops. Given the right budget, that’s what everyone does. You’ll have a beautiful kitchen, but it won’t make your guests’ jaws drop. They might comment on a nicely designed kitchen, but they won’t say “Wow!” If you really want to create an awe-inspiring look, pay close attention to your kitchen ceilings.

You want to create a kitchen that makes even your standard house guests want to put down an offer every time they visit. Sure, you can start with smart cabinet design, high-end appliances and an open floor plan. If you do those things right, they’ll get you a great kitchen. But you don’t want a great kitchen, do you? When you’re done, your kitchen design plans should create the pièce de résistance that leaves you on the winning end of an aggressive bidding war. How can you do this? Get creative with curves.

If you need some inspiration, just take a look at some of the designs our master builders have recently completed.

Kitchen Groin Vault Ceiling

This kitchen design draws you in with the inviting curves of an arched entryway and then knocks your socks off with its centerpiece: an artfully designed groin vault. You’ll notice that every opening to this room is flanked by an arch. Two of those archways are accented with recessed lighting to help the homeowner make the best use out of each workspace – a perfect marriage of beauty and functionality.

Kitchen Barrel Vault Ceiling

One of the coolest applications 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 covered in brick. The combination of old world beams, multiple barrel ceilings and brick created in our opinion the coolest barrel ceiling for a kitchen.

Yes, barrel vaults are the simplest type of vaulted ceiling. But that doesn’t mean they can’t get a little fancy in your kitchen design. Take this kitchen, for example. The simplistic barrel vault is repeated over and over and covered in stone to create a one-of-a-kind look that will add interest and value to any home.

Dome Ceiling Above A Kitchen Island

Domes are a popular addition to kitchen ceilings because they can be used to highlight an important area, such as an island. Since people tend to gather in this area anyway, it’s definitely a good idea to give it a little extra attention when you’re designing the space. This dome is accented with a light ring and a chandelier, which is definitely recommended for this spot. Although this is a traditionally-styled kitchen, a dome can work well in almost any environment. Dome ceilings are popular additions to Tuscan homes and are widely used in modern architecture.

As you can see from the kitchen designs below, you can dress up the dome with light fixtures, molding and creative painting techniques to make your domed ceiling a unique work of art.

Don't Forget About The Kitchen Ceiling

It’s no secret that the kitchen is a major area of focus for new home buyers. They’re willing to spend a little more on a home with a stellar kitchen, but they’re also willing to turn their backs on an otherwise perfect home if the kitchen isn’t just right. So, when you’re planning your kitchen design, you want to make it extraordinary.
