As of March 2026, exposed beam ceilings add warmth, architectural scale, and a sense of history to an entryway. Rafter tile ceilings inspired by 1920s Santa Barbara architecture create a handcrafted look that drywall alone cannot achieve, and they draw the eye upward to make the space feel taller. Kingdom & Co. pairs exposed rafter tile ceilings with complementary finishes like hand-painted tile and plaster walls to create a cohesive Spanish colonial aesthetic.
