cathedral ceilings
Peaked interior overhead
Cathedral ceilings are high, vaulted interior ceilings that slope upward following the roofline, typically with two equal sides meeting at a central ridge.
Named for their resemblance to church architecture, they create a sense of spaciousness and grandeur in residential spaces: The living room's cathedral ceilings made the modest house feel enormous.
Common in great rooms and open floor plans.
