    Gable Vault – A gable vault is a ceiling that is left somewhat exposed, which produces some dramatic results. In particular, the wooden beams can be finished, stained and a stippled plaster look applied to the area in between.

    Tray Ceiling – Similar to a gable vault but with a more finished look, a tray ceiling adds height to a room and is often used to break up a large space into discrete areas.

    Coffered Ceiling – For tall rooms that need to be made cozier, coffers offer an excellent option. They add visual interest to an otherwise flat surface, and can be finished in a variety of styles to reinforce the décor of the room.
