Cathedral Ceilings in Log Homes

Popular locations in a log home's design to use cathedral or high ceilings are in the great room, family room, or the main bedroom. A cathedral ceiling is defined as an arched form extruded into the third dimension used to provide a space with a ceiling or roof. A cathedral ceiling adds beauty, sophistication, richness, and enhanced design. Cathedral ceilings in log house designs are considered any ceiling that is higher than the standard 8-foot to 10-foot ceiling height. History. Cathedral ceilings were used beginning hundreds of years ago as an architectural style only in basilicas and cathedrals. The cathedral or vaulted ceiling's capacity allowed a space to be visually and intangibly larger.

Benefits of Cathedral Ceilings

Cathedral ceilings are beneficial in their ability to create an airy feel in the space and make it look and feel more significant than it physically is. A cathedral ceiling gives a room a grand feeling when you walk in. The ceiling's central high point, along with the sloping roof line, can give the room a ski lodge ambiance. A vaulted ceiling in a log home along with large windows can bring the outdoors inside, especially if you have beautiful scenery outside.

Exposed Beams and Rustic Charm

Exposed Beams add Character. Ceiling beams are still very much in style. Cathedral ceilings expose, enhance, and emphasize the beams, which adds character and charm to the space. Rustic Appeal. To create rustic charm, cover cathedral ceiling planks in your favorite natural wood. Due to their high positioning, the ceiling is the first place your eye goes to. Cathedral ceilings in a natural wood material give it a rustic design. Increased Natural Light. One of the most essential features of a cathedral ceiling is to increase the natural light in your room. With multiple windows and doors, more light comes through.
