For some people, high ceilings are extremely beautiful – they can create more spacious, elegant interiors.
Meanwhile, sometimes ceilings can be too high, and it can break the proportions of your room, making it look small and uncomfortable.
Here are a few tips on what to do if your ceilings are too high.
Decorate vertically
Use tall furniture, bookcases, or shelves to draw the eye upward and make the space feel more balanced.
This can help fill the vertical space and make the room feel cozier.
Hang curtains or drapes
Install long curtains or drapes that start from the ceiling and reach the floor.
This creates an illusion of lower ceilings and adds warmth to the room.
Use lighting effectively
Place lighting fixtures, such as chandeliers or pendant lights, lower to create a focal point and bring the visual focus down.
This helps to create a more intimate atmosphere.
Divide the space
If you have a large room with high ceilings, consider dividing it into separate functional areas.
This can be done using furniture arrangements or room dividers to create more intimate zones within the space.
Add ceiling treatments
Incorporate decorative elements on the ceiling, such as moldings, beams, or paneling, to visually lower the height.
This can add architectural interest and make the ceiling feel closer.
