A barrel vault foyer is a unique, arched ceiling treatment that can be used to accentuate many different styles of architecture.

The additional ceiling treatment adds distinction to this custom home.
Height doesn't matter
Barrel vault foyers can be either one story or two story foyers.
In the photo to the right, the barrel vault foyer is even more impressive with the addition of an inset plant shelf along the upper foyer.
The arched picture window with prairie style grids perfectly follows the signature curve of the ceiling.
The barrel vault ceiling also coordinates perfectly with the arched opening to the Formal Dining.
Contrasting Shapes and Colors
A home with a full height, two story foyer feels grand and luxurious when completed with a barrel vault ceiling.
To the left is a great example of how a typical rectangular window can add appealing contrast to a barrel vault foyer ceiling.
The window helps bring light into the foyer, and emphsizes the crisp lines of the dark front door.
Craftsman Style Custom Homes
A shallow barrel vault ceiling can even add interest to a lower ceiling in a more typical foyer.
