If you live in a one-story home, you may be wondering about the viability of placing a cupola, finial or weathervane on your roofline. Will these decorative items looked balanced atop a one-story structure? We’re here to tell you that putting a cupola on a ranch house is not only acceptable; it’s a popular and attractive choice for your home’s visual appeal! Read on to see examples and get some answers to common questions.
Will a Cupola on a Ranch House Look Too Big?
No, your cupola will not look too big on a ranch house! The key is to make sure you select your cupola in the correct size, which should be proportionate to your home and roofline. Our cupola specialists can help with that! One of the benefits of working with Valley Forge Cupola is we can instruct you on the precise measurements your cupola should be in order to look appropriate on your roofline. You’d be surprised how important this is for cupola selection! The wrong-sized cupola will not look good on a home of any size.

Can I See Examples of Cupolas on Ranch Homes?
Once again, yes! Valley Forge Cupolas has worked with many owners of ranch homes who’ve outfitted their rooflines beautifully with custom cupolas and weathervanes.
Below, see this 71’ home with not one, but three, of our elegant Fairfield-style cupolas. A 48” cupola with our 955P Eagle Weathervane is the centerpiece, and on either side is a 36”-wide cupola with our 667P American Flag Weathervane. Furthermore, each cupola has been furnished with our Lancaster-style lanterns, so these gems will be visible day or night. We love the way this project came out—and so does the happy homeowner.
