Small (8x9) room with high ceilings (10ft). How to break up the walls?
Comments (5)Go to a thrift shop and look for an attractive long, skinny leaning mirror, which will reflect light from your window and visually expand the room that way. Going by suggestions made in your other post, you hopefully will have gotten new bedding, moved the art lower, so that a mirror will reflect those updates. Also consider a swag lamp with white cord hanging over the bed--something cloudlike from Ikea like this to take advantage of your tall ceiling but bring it down a bit. This is the small Krusnig lampshade $13. Oops, sorry it won't link. You can find it here: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00259914/ Consider a skyscape poster for over the bed to bring the outside inside and draw attention to the height of the room. If you're allowed to paint, paint the ceiling blue:...See MoreWhich pendants over 9ft island with 9ft ceilings
Comments (8)Thanks for the quick replies! Here are the pictures of the lights. Im not sure I have a look I’m going for, but I have looked at thousands of lights and these are the ones I liked. I want it to feel homey, but also pretty and I think the kitchen needs a pop that the lights can provide. I thought either of these would be good but when I realized how wide the Minka light is and how long the hvl esopus is, I realized I could use some help....See MoreBuilding a home 9ft or 10ft basement ceiling?
Comments (6)We paid $1500 extra to have 10’ poured walks in our basement and it was one of the best decisions we made during house building! We originally thought we’d have a drop ceiling which would bring down the effective height but now we are contemplating just painting it all like this:...See MoreShould we put 9 ft. or 10 ft. ceilings in a new Craftsman build?
Comments (100)cpartist give excellent suggestions for how to deal with 10 foot tall kitchens, keeping the ambiance Craftsman and attractive. I will note I find 9 foot tall ceilings plenty fine for me, but go with feels comfortable to you. Although I do have a cathedral ceiling in the public part of the house.... (No, my house is not Craftsman). As someone else noted, you'll have to change your door heights and other aspects of your home to go with the increase in ceiling height - and that's not going to be cheap. Even at six foot one, I don't feel cramped in homes that have 8 foot ceilings - I was just in one (probably built in the 60s or 70s) this past Sunday (after months of not being to get out and visit folk very often at all). It was fine. But 9 doesn't affect pricing as much as 10 feet would. Please don't do without upper cabinets. You'll hurt resale, as not everyone is going to want to stop everything and remodel as soon as they move in. Even though I mostly have drawers, the lowest one is always a pain to access anyway.....See MoreUser
