We spend so much time discussing the challenges and design dilemmas that result from restricted space that the other end of the spectrum is largely ignored. While we’ve previously explored how to make a room with a low ceiling feel more expansive and how to liven up an interior with a sloped ceiling, today we’ll look at individuals who may be experiencing a ‘problem of plenty.’ Tall rooms with high ceilings are just as difficult to furnish as rooms with limited vertical space, and they bring a unique set of obstacles.
Scotty, beam it up!
Adding wooden beams, which reduce the overall scale of the room and bring in better proportions, is one of the quickest and best solutions to fix the problem of an ugly room with high ceilings. Exposed and even painted wooden beams have made a grand resurgence in recent years, making this the most fashionable option.
Makeover for the Ceiling
Perhaps you’d want to transform the room’s ceiling into a brilliant focal point while also giving it a makeover? Ceiling solutions, such as a fake ceiling or a tray ceiling, can easily achieve this while complementing the room’s existing color palette and theme.
Think Vertical!
Remember that the goal of each design suggestion is to make the area appear more proportionate and stylish. Adding architectural features that extend all the way to the ceiling rather than stopping short goes a long way toward achieving this.
It’s Lit with Style
Whether you want to add a large focal point to the room, a few interesting wooden beams, or a fake ceiling, without the correct lighting, none of these additions will have any visual impact. In a space with a high ceiling, brilliant cascading chandeliers or enormous, gorgeous pendants can be appealing solo attractions, but don’t overlook the importance of ambient lighting.
Artistic Overtones
If you want to add some color and drama to your area without spending a lot of money on it, the simplest option is to use color. A large accent wall looks great in almost any area, but it stands out even more in a room with a high ceiling. If your budget isn’t too tight and you’re an art collector, go for huge pieces that you can display at eye level for the best effect.
