Decorating interiors of the home with high ceiling requires high dose of creativity. Building personality for a room with tall wall is not at all difficult, nor is it challenging than dealing with common size room. After all, home space is a gift no matter how you look at it and you should be reluctant to use it in an optimal way. In this post, we will share some tips and tricks that will help you out in the interior decoration project. Master these simple guidelines and let your imagination run wild!
Strike a balance
Just like art and photography, visually splitting a wall in three parts while decorating will guarantee balance and ultimately success in interior designing. From the bottom up, try imagine your room divided into three different design levels. You can adorn the first level with judges panelling, use the second one for artwork and third one as it is. It just a simple instance; as the images below will show that possibilities are unlimited. Furniture should be added within the bottom third. The overall idea is to create a focal point and diminish intimidating feeling of high ceilings. You don’t need to spend a lot of money on illumination to give your interiors a special look and this is also true when it comes to the high ceiling. But lightning can create a bold statement these days and you should definitely pay a lot of attention to creating a balance. Lightning spots are very popular these days. Other than that, you can even incorporate chandeliers, pendant lights, in the room, as it will give elegance to a tall living room or kitchen or bathroom. You can also use lights to divide the different areas. For instance, three chandeliers in the living room can visually separate three different areas of the home like the lounge area, kitchen and dining room.
Add paintings to the room
When dealing with the high ceiling, paintings or artwork is just an optional element. The reason why it is so is because it exudes life, elegance and nobility in the room. Not many people appreciate and are fond of this art gallery effect, so the best idea is to arrange the graphic art where you want. In order to reduce overwhelming and architectural impression of tall walls, place the painting at eye appealing level. Otherwise, you can’t enjoy the majestic effect of highlighting the space through art work.
Create accent walls
Colour is always a nice way to accentuate the home and it lends drama to the space. By painting a single wall in a bold colour the high ceiling and other unpainted walls will be automatically connected at different levels. This will lend space a fresh look and a unique personality.
Add curtains to the home
Curtains give homely and warm feeling to a room and tall space needs it. You can go for different models that cover the entire walls or just two thirds of it. White curtains lend a breezy feel to the room, red curtains add extra dose of energy to the home and dark hues adds an intriguing sense of drama in the home. Black materials also contribute to room shrinkage and make the room look warm. In order to create cohesive look, be sure to repeat the colour of drapes somewhere else in the space. A patterned design, though bit difficult to integrate, will ensure diversity and visual appeal.
Other shades that you can use for curtains include pale white shades with dash of citrus shades like orange and green. It is better to buy these curtains from upholstery to get an idea of what could go well with the home interior. There is variety of materials that you can select from. Go for cotton curtains, satin, crushes and sheer. There is enough of combination to think about. Silk curtains give royal feeling to the home.
Exposed wooden beams
We are surprised to read growing popularity of the exposed wooden beams. On a design stage, it exudes minimalism and functionality; it is nice to see all these elements that add personality to the home. But what effect does it lend to the home interiors? Mainly, it can reduce the scale of the home, making it look more friendly and comfortable. Some people use fake ceilings to bring the room down, it is a better solution. As you see in the image below the rest of home interior does not need to be decorated in a rustic style. Wooden beams can be integrated with modern interiors as well.
Ceiling texture
Just like creating an accent wall, you can make the ceiling stand out by using a good quality texture. In this example, the wood exudes warmth and makes the room look smaller than what actually it is. It also lends a great impact by contrasting the walls and floors and creating a sense of disruption.
Things that you need to avoid
There are certain things that you should try to avoid in order maintain a balance in your high ceiling interior. Don’t clutter the room with so many small items, like furniture objects, works of art, or with various other decorating pieces. Instead use large artifacts. Paintings can always be incorporated at eye-level. If you wish to cover the space above the eye level, add some abstract sculptures to the home or even a funky wall clock will help.
