Awkward angles vaulted ceiling???

Love the tall ceiling in our new fixerupper but stumped by all the awkward angels. What would you do with this space? Maybe a statement piece fan/light? The beams arent pretty, so maybe paint same as ceiling to hide? Definately knocking down popcorn. Changing floor because we’re knocking down wall from living room to kitchen. Do i go white ceiling to emphasize heights or or, a bit of color to bring ceiling down a bit? The windows are north facing—warm or cool wall color? My dream is painting the fireplace SW Naval, with crisp white new mantel and trim and brass accents. If i do that, would you do any color on that window wall, or keep it all white to frame the naval fireplace? Do i paint those weird diagnol ceiling parts as if they are ceiling or wall? HELP! Thank you!

what to do? ceiling fans, vaulted ceilings and window questions.
Comments (10)we are pretty set (99%) are getting the fans. however, getting them wired if we weren't to get them is a great idea! jennybc: the 2 rooms are going to be guest/computer style rooms. we have no kids and don't plan on having any. if we do, it will be just one. the upstairs calls for 8 foot ceilings with a vaulted ceiling in every bedroom. we are doing an angled tray in the master and still unsure about the other 2 bedrooms...either vault or leave at 8'. edit: also, we were thinking....in the great room with those 3 or 4 windows, what if you do those windows as a casement style? would that work? we're trying to get the same look of the fixed window in the rear of the house. i don't know much about casement windows and how much more they would be compared to double-hungs. the window is about 3x6/7 and then another square window above it (not sure how big that one is right now, maybe 3x2). i'm not sure if the casements are even made in that size.

Comments (6)As long as the drop down for the interior framing to get that insulated properly is calculated and does not interfere with the needed head height of the stairs or balcony, that would be fine. But bear in mind that the actual plane of the roof is not the underside of your ceiling here. It will be lower. How low depends on the insulation requirements, which depends on location....See MoreHave an entry wanting to trim but with an angled vaulted ceiling. Help
Comments (13)The accessories were arranged incorrectly on your wall. The curved object it best placed next to the angled ceiling so it works visually. Looks like you added the barn board to get the white clock to show up on the wall but that just added to the visual clutter. Just paint the clock and 86 the barn board. The columns don't need any more detailing. Center your table under the chandelier and pull that overly large fake plant out of the dining room. Replace with some art or wall decor on the large wall....See Morerecessed lighting in vaulted ceiling
Comments (8)IMO pot lights in vaulted ceiling are close to useless. Those are integrated fixtures which mean they cannot have bulb changed if it burns out so you will need to make sure you buy extras. I like cable lighting for vaulted rooms you can get it with more traditional heads .That style of lighting gets the light to a level where irt actually provides lighting. I use Tech for my clients. IMO lighting is not the place to scrimp on budget ....See More
