Use low, horizontal furniture

Notes:

  • If you have the flexibility, choosing low, horizontal furniture is one of the best ways to make your ceiling naturally look taller. By keeping your furniture lower to the ground, you will amplify the effect of the space dramatically. It forces your eye to notice the greater amount of wall space between the floor and the ceiling.
  • Knowing this, consider buying couches and coffee tables with short legs, placing seating pillows on the floor, and choosing a wide shelving unit versus a taller one. If you want to focus on the elongated walls, consider using decorative wallpaper to trick the eye and play with proportions.

      In time, our homes can start suffering from a lack of space and become suffocating. Most of us are constantly looking for ways to create more and more room to hide all the stuff we have gathered.

    • However, by doing this, we only mask the problem, not solve it.

Ceiling color ideas

Notes:

  • One of the easiest ways to create a higher ceiling is by simply painting it a different color. Painting your ceiling a shade lighter than the walls with high-gloss paint is optional.
  • The reason is that it reflects light and makes the ceiling look less fixed and static, in contrast to matte paint, which makes it blend in more. So consider either going with a bolder, brighter color like yellow or off-white.
  • What paint colors to use for walls and ceiling:
    • Paint Colors (from google images)

      Oranges for living room for kitchen for bedroom

    • Why Repaint The Interior:

      Paint can do a lot to revamp the style and cleanliness of your home and make it more valuable. With such a wide array of colors, finishes, and protective qualities, it’s no wonder paint can have a massive impact on the best areas of your house.

Exposed ceilings

Notes:

  • Additionally, think of incorporating an exposed, textured ceiling. You can start by removing the ceiling barrier, leaving it completely exposed. It’s another reason you should have ceiling beams in your home, as it gives the ceiling a natural, bare feel.
  • Having an exposed ceiling gives it a sense of texture and character, creating a calming environment. By removing the extra layer, you’re also making paintings and wall fixtures look smaller on the walls.
  • Side Note:

    You can also try ceiling and wall moldings to get that extra ceiling height look:

    • Get To Know Trim and Moldings:

      Homeowners use wall trim for a plethora of reasons. Historically, trim has hidden wall imperfections, hung pictures, and even kept out vermin. But these days, homeowners mostly use it for purely visual purposes.

    • Each trim lends itself to a different aesthetic, and it can change our perception of a space. And when you know the main types of wall trim, you can use that to your advantage.

High, tall wall décor

Notes:

  • Of course, you can’t forget about hanging elongated art and mirrors on your walls. Not only will they prevent a sterile feeling, but they will naturally heighten the appearance of the ceiling. Hanging artwork slightly higher than you usually would helps to overcome the short, squat environment.
  • Hanging small frames above door openings and windows will also trick the eye into thinking the room is taller than it appears. Vertical mirrors, too, give the feeling of ascension, so consider adding those to your wall as well.
  • View how mirrors and book shelves can give your room ceiling height:
