3 Important Tips To Make Your Ceilings Feel Higher

The look and feel of a tall ceiling can really elevate the way a room feels. The truth is, not every home can boast 9’ or taller ceilings. If you are designing a room around shorter ceilings, you need to get creative in order to fashion a grander and more open space. Here are some ideas on how to achieve that without a major renovation.

1
Do Not Underestimate the Capacity of Wall Treatments

We love using wall treatments to help make a room feel grand. When done correctly, they can actually draw the eye up and elongate the room. A good vertical board and batten or shiplap can really add some needed height to any room.

Place Your Window Treatments Strategically

Placing your drapery rods about 3-5” from the crown molding or ceiling goes a long way to make a room appear larger. It really tricks the eye into thinking the room has higher ceilings
