Here are some luxury designer tricks for adding height to your ceilings.
Raise the Doorways
Raising the doorways to accommodate full-height or floor-to-ceiling doors means the door extends to the entire ceiling height.
Install Transoms
Installing transoms above your doors and windows adds height and allows more natural light to shine through.
Extend Cabinets to the Ceiling
Whether in the kitchen, laundry room, pantry or bathrooms, if you have nine-foot ceilings, taking the cabinets to the ceiling will make the ceiling height appear higher.
Use Tall Bookshelves
Like cabinetry, tall skinny bookshelves that extend to the ceiling will also draw the eye upward.
Hang Window Treatments High
Hanging the window treatments high and wide can make the ceiling appear higher and make the windows appear larger.
Extend the Fireplace Finish
Bring the face of your fireplace up to the ceiling. This creates the illusion of a stately fireplace, showcases the height and creates more of a focal point.
