A vaulted ceiling can bring a dramatic, eye-catching scene to any room of the home. They rise up, cathedral like in appearance, giving the whole space an open and airy style.
When it comes to kitchens, we can’t think of any better place to have a high, vaulted ceiling. Now, not all vaulted ceilings rise like a cathedral. There are different types of recesses that can be used, all creating a wonderful style. Often, vaulted ceilings will have exposed beams as part of their architecture, giving an even more striking look.
Below, we have gathered over 35 kitchens with vaulted ceilings for you to browse through. We know you will find a style that suits your design senses.
