Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

High ceilings effortlessly open up a room, but instead of letting all of that spaciousness make your home look more like a barn, spice it up with some warming decor.

• Install some interesting architectural features such as beams to the bare ceiling.

• Add texture to the open space such as tile or wood detailing.

• Bring the ceiling to eye level with hanging light fixtures. It’s also wise to have a variety of light sources such as recessed lighting, chandeliers and fan lighting.

• Choose a paint color for the ceiling that will tie the room together. Semi-gloss paint will make the ceiling look higher, so if you don’t want this effect then avoid glossy finishes.

• Arrange the furniture differently to create a warmer mood and comfortable or elegant atmosphere.
