Vaulted Ceilings: Elevate the Atmosphere

Posted on by Erika George & Kari McGee

The vaulted ceiling is one structural element that can really elevate the sense of space in a home.

We’ve been working west of the river lately in hot pursuit of the vaulted ceiling found in the plethora of homes in west Portland, Beaverton and Lake Oswego.

Vaulted ceilings are commonly found in homes built in the 1960s through the end of the 20th century.  There’s nothing quite like the architectural interest that you get out of a sexy-cool, mid-century, low slung vaulted ceiling split right down the middle by a gorgeous old growth, cedar beam. 

Or perhaps the soaring, light-filled space you get in all those 1990s cosmetic fixers were seeing in west Portland and Lake Oswego these days is more your cup of tea? What’s not to like about all the extra-tall windows you usually see in these homes that aspire to catch up to those lofty living room ceilings? 

The early NW Contemporary style homes that were built in the 70s and 80s bring the outside in by featuring northwest wood ceilings and give a warm and rustic vibe if left unpainted. And often you’ll find skylights in these ceilings that provide moving paintings of light and clouds and color from above.  

Don’t forget all those spectacular floor-to-vaulted-ceiling river rock or roman brick fireplaces that connect earth to air in these homes adding another gorgeous architectural element of interest.

With the advent of the lighting revolution, vaulted ceilings have become the perfect opportunity to hang that fantastic, unique chandelier you found that would overwhelm any builder’s standard eight foot ceiling. Lighting statements are given room to surprise and fill an otherwise empty space with movement and sparkle in the space created by a vaulted ceiling.

It’s no wonder we’re working hard to fill the requests for this type of home! Do you want a home with a vaulted ceiling, skylight or brick fireplace? Remember, vaulted ceilings can be found in houses all over the greater Portland metro area, from Kenton to Beaverton, and in a range of prices. We’d love to help you find what you’re looking for.
