Freeze Frame

With all the hurry and hustle this time of year can bring, Susan Semmelmann Interiors would like to treat you to a moment of pure peace and calm. We’ve taken a freeze-frame of these signature interiors that feature stunning arched ceilings as a focal point. Inspired by classic cathedral architecture, this design element is often referred to as a cathedral arch. The pattern of curves is comprised of groin vaults, also known as cross vaults or double barrel vaults. Whatever you choose to call them, we call them fabulous! These soothing interiors evoke feelings of history with a touch of mystery; this look is timeless, elegant, and romantic, echoing back to a former time but perfectly placed in the here and now. The modern take keeps the palette simple and clean, staying with soft whites and ivories to accent the beauty of the surfaces and emphasize the play of light and shadow against the curved lines and angles. The result is a rhythmic and fluid visual effect that is a showstopper in any space, creating a moment that is beautifully frozen in time! Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you create freeze-frame moments in your home with the addition of eye-catching cathedral arches!
