If you've just started home decorating for your house with high walls and ceilings
, know that you need to approach them a bit differently than you would walls or ceilings that are lower. It can be a challenge to make sure that your walls and ceilings are coordinated to give them the best look possible. The right paints and colours can make all the difference. For one thing, you can try using lighter colours on the walls and then paint the ceiling the same colour but in a darker hue. This lends the overall impression that the room is cosy rather than distant. This is because the ceiling will seem considerably lower than it really is, and as a result less intimidating. You can try using warm colours to make the room seem more vibrant by using colour paints like yellow or red. These help to make a room seem slightly smaller while still giving an open, airy feeling to the room.
What you want to do is bring your guest's gaze back down to eye level instead of being stuck to the high ceiling. You can do this by wall painting the lower part darker. Or you can pick a wall paper that brings the gaze back down to a lower level. You'd naturally have to pick a kind of wall paper pattern that wouldn't be considered out of date. Another option is just wall painting a wide strip that you could use for hanging pictures on. You can choose the colour combinations that would best suit best your home. In fact, choosing the right combination of contrasting colour paints can help your ceiling seem lower. If you happen to have crown mouldings in your home, there"s a trick that can help you out. You can pick a dark colour for the ceiling and light colours for the walls. The mouldings can act as a demarcation between your ceilings and walls. But if you don"t have mouldings, the room can seem claustrophobic if you use this technique.
You can also use wall art or other forms of accessories for your home decor. Dividers, tapestries and wall hangings are the way to go. Use whatever home decoration you already have to accentuate your walls and ceiling. But remember not to overdo it "" just because you have space doesn"t mean you have to fill it up. At the end of the day, you have to be comfortable enough while looking at your home and not have it feel utterly cluttered. Your home decor needs to be something that you are comfortable with.
