Are Vaulted Ceilings Worth It?

May 20, 2021 by Karen Baker Leave a Comment

Vaulted Ceilings

Vaulted ceilings are one of the features that many sellers will try to highlight, and many buyers try to search for when purchasing a home. While they do indeed add a touch of luxury to many spaces, what exactly is it about vaulted ceilings that seems to draw so much attention, and is it worth it?

As with nearly all things there are a few pros and cons that are associated with the feature of high ceilings, however it seems that in many cases, at least for the majority of buyers and homeowners, the pros outweigh the cons significantly.

Pros

vaulted ceilingsWhile everyone has their own opinions when it comes to pros of Vaulted Ceilings, we will try to stick to the two main reasons that are most popular among both homeowners and buyers. First is simply space. While vaulted ceilings in no way adds additional square footage to a home, they help to create an illusion of the space being bigger and more open which can make even a smaller room feel quite large.

Second, while not in all cases, oftentimes vaulted ceilings are accompanied by oversized or large windows which allows for your home to maximize the usage of natural light, creating a brighter and airier ambiance which can leave your home feeling more open, crisp, clean and inviting to both yourself as well as guests, friends and family.

Cons

Really there are only two cons when it comes to vaulted ceilings, and they don’t seem too drastic. First, for some they feel that vaulted ceilings can cause a lot of dead space and wish that instead of vaulted ceilings, the space was used in a way where it could be accessed as a loft, additional bedroom, storage, etc.

Second is simply the height of the ceilings causing hardship for many homeowners. Whether there is a window that is too high to reach for easy cleanings, or cobwebs and dust that settle into the upper corners or peaks of the ceilings, with the height it can make routine cleaning more difficult, especially for those who are not comfortable using ladders.

Whether you are in the market to purchase a new home, are a homeowner looking to renovate, or simply trying to stay on top of today’s Real Estate Trends and Designs, Vaulted Ceilings are a timeless feature that has remained coveted over the past few decades and is foreseen to remain at the top of many buyer’s wish lists.

“Life will lead you to where you belong. Five years ago life led me to meeting Karen Baker at an Open House. Our relationship continues as Karen and her husband Frank have been outstanding not only in helping my husband and I find the right retirement relocation home, but we have watched their commitment in helping many others find their homes. She and Frank treat every client as if they are the only ones that exist. They provide thorough research of areas and homes of interest and present you with the options. They are not your typical hard sell, must-buy-now realtors. They are here to help you find your next home?. You won’t go wrong with the Bakers!

“The Bakers treated us like family during our whirlwind weekend of looking at houses. Prior to our on-site visit to Sunset Beach they created a portal and populated it with properties that met our ever-evolving criteria. By time we arrived we had a good feel for what we could afford and what was available that met our criteria. The Bakers, especially Karen, were able to make sense of what we thought we were looking for and eventually matched us with a house that we ended up purchasing — Karen called it the “This is it” house and she was right. We are loving our 2nd home and appreciate how painless Karen and Frank made the process. All the paperwork was done seamlessly and quickly and the closing went off without a hitch. The Bakers do not believe in the hard sell — they gave us the knowledge we needed and the guidance we needed to make our dream a reality.”

Amy and I have bought and sold four properties in the past twelve years. Both of you are the best realtors we have ever dealt with. Amy and I both felt we could trust you to look out for our interest. The level of service you provided was outstanding, from taking the trash out, helping the buyer with inspecting the irrigation system, dealing with our tenants, always being there if we needed to ask a question, providing constant updates on the market and always keeping us informed on the sale of our house. I think your next venture should be training other realtors, because both of you have mastered the art of providing excellent service. I will be sure to recommend the Frank and Karen team to anybody looking for a trust worthy, knowledgeable and top performing realtor. It was a pleasure working with both of you.”
