Nothing adds drama and glamour to a room like an extraordinarily tall ceiling.

Whether it's vaulted, straight, or, our personal favorite, barrel, a distinctive ceiling adds an entire new level of allure to any room.

This kitchen is filled with unique, beautiful features that set it apart. Aren't the oven and vent incredible?

And the use of a barrel ceiling is so incredible in a smaller bathroom like this, with less room for the details that can really set it apart.

We love the idea of painting the ceiling a different color, and this gold is simply divine!

What a beautiful way to be welcomed to a space. All it takes is a little imagination--and one very talented architect!
Thanks for stopping by today. Still waiting for baby Will to make his arrival... Six days late and counting!

I love how much barrel ceilings open up a room! Thanks so much for sharing these beautiful photos. Have a wonderful week!
Love this architectural element in any home, any room, any style. It just adds so much to a space, the examples are simply stunning!
I love a few curves in my interiors and this is a great way to get them in.
That hallway by Gambrel - my fave!!!!
Hang tight, he'll be here soon!! Wonder if he's trying to make it to October. :)

I love this architectural feature! The last space from Herlong Architects is just stunning.
Oh, how I love these. Wish I had them in my own home. Love the drama they add to a room!
Doesn't it seem that all of these ceilings will stand the test of time?
That kitchen is to die for!!!!
So often ceilings are forgotten....but these are great inspiration images!
These images are beautiful examples of barrel ceilings.
Oooo, bless your heart! Waiting for the baby takes supreme patience. Beautiful photos. I especially love that hallway with the polished white walls.
All the ceilings are absolutely stunning and make such an impact in all the spaces....I could dream of having such a ceiling....my wish list is getting awfully long!!! Haaaahaaa
Waiting for sweet baby Will to arrive must be sooo hard.... My babies were all late too!!

Lindos ambientes...claros atemporais...parabéns pela postagem...
Such beautiful images. I especially like barrel ceilings in long, stately hallways. The impact is amazing.
Great post!

Gorgeous images. I love the high gloss ceiling in the Gambrel hallway and that gold leaf finish in the other. And the amazing timber floor is gorgeous too in the last image.
What a beautiful detail to highlight. Extraordinary images!
the last pic = welcome home! look at those floors! beautiful!
Such great heights!
i have always loved barrel ceilings and have walked under some stunners but these are breathtaking.
wishing you and baby will an easy introduction!

I'm such a fan of barrel ceilings - I'd love to have one in our future master bedroom. I also love them in a hallway like in the Gambrel photo with that amazing rug!
that hallway is spectacular! I can't decide which room I love the most! OMG I love them all! So can't wait to see that beautiful baby's face! Good luck!

Beautiful images. Barrel ceilings add such architectural detail and glamour to a space, especially in a hallway. I know you are anxious to meet the baby, but apparently he is not ready to greet the world yet. And when he is, we want pictures, lots of pictures.

Outstanding kitchen and bathroom ceiling details. Truly beautiful. I am definitely partial to barrel ceilings - obviously. Remember deep breaths and it will all go smoothly. Cheers P.
Well, what can I say, every single photograph is beautiful. I adore the kitchen. Stay well, precious...you will be up all night once little Will arrives so take advantage of the rest while you can. xx's Marsha
Hurry upnWill, hurry up!
I have loved that Country Living bathroom for ages, and you are right, it is the ceiling that makes it!!
BTW, happy to hear that you don't think the "collected look" is passé. Especially since my home is definitely in that category! :-)

Love the last image and good luck with the baby watch!
I agree! One of my client's has barrel ceilings outside on his loggias and they are bead boarded like the last photo…amazing.
LOVE the barrel ceilings, what wonderful images! I recently did a huge round up of ceiling treatments on Caribbean Living but totally omitted this one - thanks for sharing the pics!

Oh my goodness, you poor dear! My second was ten days late and I finally begged my doctor to have him induced... Love these ceilings and just printed out a couple as inspiration for a new bathroom. Hope you have a greta weekend and all the best!
xxoo
I want that kitchen and bathroom...so gorgeous! I can only imagine how much they both cost..
ooooh i remember that bathroom in country living with the ceiling and nautical details--love!
we have one such ceiling in a little space off the kitchen--no molding but i love the idea of adding it!

Oh, I am absolutely in love with the last one from Herlong Architects, it is beyond spectacular! I'd love to see more of that particular house!
Good luck with baby Will, won't be long now!
These are all so gorgeous! Beauty really is in the details :)
Barrel ceilings are such a great architectural detail in a home. Beautiful images!
It makes an even bigger impact when it has a treatment (gold metallic ceiling? Yes, please!)
Oh dear - we need to will Will to arrive!! On catch up from my whirlwind trip to London - so much inspiration!! I just ADORE barrel ceilings - have many of these fabulous images in my files. Don't forget Michael Smith's gorgeous kitchen!!
The huge vaulted ceiling in the kitchen is so so beautiful! Wow!
They add so much elegance to the proportions of the room! I particularly love the first image

Great images but I am particularly in love with the runner int he SR Gambrel image. Love it!
Ceilings can add so much visual interest with just some paint but there is so much more with an architectural ceiling..love the height. Great pics.
I love every single picture of this post.
But I'm here to know about Kristy. Is the baby here yet??? :-) I can't wait to hear from you guys!
Have a great day!
