Enhance the character of your space with this elegant design featuring white vaulted ceilings accented by dark wood beams. The striking contrast is further highlighted by a black-framed French door flanked by matching windows, positioned beneath the sloped shiplap ceiling. The ceiling’s horizontal shiplap meets the vertical beams, creating a visually striking effect, particularly notable along the central vault line. An ivory couch, adorned with an off-white knit throw blanket, faces the door, inviting relaxation and conversation. Reflecting on this design choice, interior designer Camila Lyons notes, “Horizontal shiplap meeting vertical beams creates a striking effect, especially with a central vault line. Choosing harmonious stains and paints for beams and ceiling can result in a sophisticated and cohesive look.” Her insight underscores the importance of color and texture harmony in achieving a polished and unified interior.
