What is a cathedral ceiling?

A cathedral ceiling is a type of high, slanted ceiling that follows the slope of the roof, creating a tall and spacious interior in a building or room. This type of ceiling is often found in churches, cathedrals, and other religious or historical buildings, but has become popular in modern homes as a way to add height and drama to the interior space. Typically, cathedral ceilings feature exposed beams and trusses and may include windows or skylights to let in natural light.
