Around Louisville, there are many McMansions and newer homes with vaulted or high ceilings. Many times people are at a loss as to how to design around the space. Here are some tips and ideas:

-crown molding and wainscotting break up the wall

-paint one wall

-drape one wall

-use a tapestry on one wall or upper portions of walls

-blow up images and/or art work to fit on the wall

-hang lighting from ceiling

-hang objects (toy planes, viusal space art, decoration) from ceilng

-paint the top parts of the walls a slighly darker color

-large architectual pieces hung on walls make space seem smaller

-stay away from mirrors on these walls as they will appear to increase the size
