This Happens When You Have High Ceilings

In the real estate world, “double height ceilings” are a plus.

In the real world, people don’t use spaces with double height ceilings as much as they thought they would.

Clients and students tell me they love their great rooms because of the high ceilings, then proceed to explain why they seldom use them.

The truth is that the high ceilings are the reason these rooms aren’t used much.

People want to hang out in spaces where they feel cozy and protected. That’s very hard to do in a room with very high ceilings because they look like they were built for giants, and not for regular people.

Why these rooms aren’t used much

Rooms with super high ceilings make you feel small, and they give you the impression that things are hard to reach – because they are!

You can learn how to correct a room with ceilings that are too high without having to remodel. And when you’re done, you’ll still be able to enjoy the feelings of freedom and expansion that the high ceilings give you – and which are the reason you wanted them in the first place!

How to correct super high ceilings

The trick is to use the principle of yin and yang (opposites) to create the impression that the ceilings are lower and that things are easy to reach.

You lower a high ceiling by your choice of:

  • what art you put below the 8 ft line, and what art you place above that height
  • the type of light fixtures and how high or low you place them
  • the size, colors and type of furniture you use and how you arrange the pieces to create spaces of interest

By using simple Feng Shui cures you can make a great room with high ceilings feel more comfortable. With the Nine Steps to Feng Shui® System you really can have your cake and eat it too!
