WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN –  Today's new homes of large rooms with soaring ceilings and expanses of glass can present daunting challenges to even the most creative homeowners. Since most residential furniture is no more than 3-4 feet high, a common decorating dilemma is what to do with all the "nothingness" above that level. Additionally, guests are always more comfortable when the scale is felt to be more relative to the human form.  One solution—ceiling height can be visually lowered by applying a molding on the wall below the ceiling. A rule of thumb is to place the molding at about the nine-foot level. The wall above this detail is then painted the color of the ceiling, thus lowering its perceived height. This can even be done on the gable end of a vaulted room.  Since light colors appear to recede and dark colors advance, a ceiling will also look lower if painted a deeper hue of the wall color. But don't use too dark or too bright a color in a smaller room, as it may become oppressive. Light the lower areas of the room more intensively so that attention remains closer to eye level.  Drapery and window treatments in these rooms need to be carefully designed to insure the decorative interest of the design is at an optimum height. Framed wall art, mirrors, and tapestries serve to focus interest at a mid-level height, while corner voids can be filled with well lighted trees for softening, texture, and interest.  Volume ceilings in bedrooms can be transformed into a cozier scale through the careful use of canopy bed treatments. An actual canopy bed is not necessary to accomplish this trick.  Kitchen ceilings can be brought into a more human scale through the careful use of wall coverings and accessories. The inclusion of crown moldings at the top of cabinets serves to suggest that the ceiling is at that level. A slightly darker color than the walls will again help to fool the eye.  The reverse of the ultra-high ceiling situation is the standard eight foot ceiling needing an updating "lift". Vertically striped wall coverings lead the eye to the ceiling where bordering can be used to further expand the feel. Next, paint the ceiling the background color in the border to give it the feeling of extending the space by minimizing contrast. Borders can also be placed directly on the ceiling abutting the wall rather than on the wall itself. This will make the ceiling seem higher by appearing to be part of the wall and softening the demarcation between the two.  Crown moldings are a wonderful way to lift attention to ceilings. For a low ceiling, crown molding can extend more on the ceiling than on the wall by simply having the molding reversed when installed. Paint the molding only a shade lighter or darker (but with more sheen) than the wall to avoid defining the ceiling too sharply.  Don't overlook the effects of lighting. Chandeliers and sconces which reflect up onto the ceiling and are just a bit brighter than the rest of the room will give you the feeling of a larger space.  Ceilings should be an important and attractive part of your design plan. A little bit of thought and creativity can add a whole new dimension to your rooms  ...read more
