Decorating When You Have Low Ceilings

Low ceilings are a problem that is confronted in many older homes.  It is easy to create the illusion of height in such rooms by applying a few general rules of thumb.  Use window-to-floor window treatments alongside low lying furniture to create a ‘tall’ feeling. 

Place wall hangings lower and use contrasting lamp sizes.  Try items such as miniatures on tabletops and use larger, dominating pieces for floor lamps. 

When accessorizing, try to create the same type of contrast using small accessories throughout the room in comparison with large, almost disproportionate ones.  The illusion this creates is very realistic.
