Decorating high ceilings draws focus upwards to highlight the size of the room.
If you have high ceilings in your home but you don't decorate them, you miss an opportunity to showcase the ceiling height. Many people may avoid decorating high ceilings because they are unable to reach the ceilings or don't think it matters. By decorating the ceilings, you can draw the eye upward, which can help to balance a room with limited floor space. You can access the with an A-frame stepladder or scaffolding. Decorating ideas can help you pair a high ceiling with any design style, from country to contemporary.
Instructions
1. Stencil a design on the ceiling to add some artistic detail to an otherwise blank space. Craft stores sell a wide variety of stencil designs that can be applied with a paintbrush and acrylic paint.
2. Install exposed wood beams to give the ceiling dimension and structural support. A distressed wood beam is an appealing complement to a country decorating style, but can also coordinate with more contemporary designs.
3. Paint the ceiling a fun color that helps to draw attention more than a boring white ceiling. You could choose a solid color or add a textured paint effect to the ceiling.
4. Texture the wood detail or tin tiles. Punched tin designs make tin tiles even more visually appealing.
5. Prop an old wooden ladder, such as one used in orchards, against a wall to extend from the floor to the ceiling. This decorative piece will draw the eye up to your ceiling and can be used to hang textiles like quilts.
6. Hang dramatic light fixtures, such as chandeliers, from high ceilings. Not only can you find ornate chandeliers, but you can also purchase decorative chains that attract upward gazes.
7. Make your part of your holiday d cor by suspending ornaments from the ceiling on long, decorative strands of ribbon. You can install ceiling hooks or eyelet screws in the ceiling to hold the ornaments.
