Design Tip-High Ceilings

Q: In rooms with high ceilings, how do I deal with all that wall space?


A: Paint the ceiling. Whatever color you have on the walls, change it a hue by adding white to the paint, and then use the new color to paint the ceiling. This brings the ceiling down and makes the space seem less endless. Art claims the extra wall space, too. Collect several inexpensive, black frames and group them together to create one enormous centerpiece that fills up the wall. Or add a big basket over the television to fill up the empty wall space (no fake flowers though!).
