Design Tips for an Open-Concept, Vaulted Great Room
The vaulted great room is a design feature of many modern homes; it combines the living, dinning and kitchen areas to form one larger, open concept space. If you plan to create a vaulted great room in your home, here are some tips to help create an inviting and stylish living area.
Keep the Ceiling High
For a classic design, it's important to keep the
ceiling height
high enough to create a spacious and open feel. The recommended height for a vaulted great room is at least 15 feet; this will ensure enough light and air circulation, while still adding a sense of grandeur.
Bring in Natural Light
Natural lighting
is important for any room, but particularly in an open-concept space such as a vaulted great room. To ensure there is plenty of light entering your room, installing large windows is ideal. To create a cozy atmosphere even when the lights are off, you can also add some recessed lighting or under-cabinet lighting.
Choose the Right Furniture
When it comes to
furniture
, size matters. In order to maintain an open feel and provide comfortable seating areas, it's important to choose furniture that isn't too bulky or ornate. Stick to lighter furniture options that blend into the background while still providing comfortable seating for large groups. As well, choose chairs with lower backs to help reduce the volume in the room.
Work With a Professional Designer
When it comes to designing the perfect vaulted great room, an experienced
professional designer
is essential. They will be able to help you create a space that is open and airy, while still providing a few cozy nooks. The designer will be able to provide ideas and insight to ensure the room looks its best.
Select the Perfect Paint Color
One of the most important ways to make your vaulted great room look stunning is to choose the right
paint color
. Choosing the right color to offset the furniture and accents will help create a stunning look for your room. Stick to a warm palette such as whites, creams, and beiges to keep the room bright and inviting.
Add Unique Accents
Adding a few
unique accents
to your room is the perfect way to bring the design together. Focus on adding some interesting art pieces, patterned accents, or a statement piece to bring texture and character to the room. Stick to a few statement pieces so the space doesn't feel cluttered.
