BIZARRE: How to make living room ceilings look higher 9 tricks used by interior designers - What They Never Told You

Blue living room with floor-to-ceiling built in bookcases with closed cupboards and open shelves.

It’s easy to see why so many people want to know how to make living room ceilings look higher. Given the choice, most of us would go for high ceilings over low ones. Ceiling height completely changes how we feel in a space. High ceilings create a feeling of spaciousness, which makes us feel relaxed and at ease. On the flip side, low ceilings have the opposite effect and can be oppressive, making us feel confined and uneasy.

When you’re looking for living room ideas to elevate your space, it’s a good idea to start with the basics first. This means getting the bones of the room right with paint and floor choices to create the look and feel you’re after, before adding more decorative pieces and details. This includes deciding on whether you want to make living room ceilings look higher, and how you’ll achieve this.
