This episode goes out to all the viewers who wrote in about their low ceilings!! So many tricks that designers use to cheat the appearance of low ceilings. I personally love adding crown molding and painting the base, walls, and crown the same color. Which tips would you implement for your space?

@samaraiza 2 года назад

Super helpful! But now you have to do high cathedral ceilings for Texas residents ;)

@edwardcasper5231 2 года назад

All of my walls and ceilings are the same color, except in areas where I've had to color match 8 year old paint. But I'm the only person who knows where the old paint ends and the new color begins. LOL !!!!

@okashi10 2 года назад

I have 8 ft ceilings, so I hung straight floor-to-ceiling curtains on each window (as high as possible), removed the popcorn ceiling texture, and painted it the same color as my walls, but in a very flat/matte sheen. The ceiling looks so much higher now! I thought about using crown molding, but decided not to since it doesn't match my minimalist/Japandi design style.

@edwardcasper5231 2 года назад

You might try a cove or similar molding that isn't ornate.

@gregpendrey6711 2 года назад

Some rooms look well without the crown ornament. Another trick if you care for a contrasting ceiling is a picture rail in your wall color no more than 6 inches below the ceiling height.

@JulieKhuu 2 года назад

Curtains can do wonders when installed at ceiling height Okashi 🙌🏻

@Jwheels89 11 месяцев назад

Okashi, what colors did you go with for your wall and drapes/curtains

@okashi10 11 месяцев назад

@@Jwheels89 I chose Benjamin Moore's OC-17 White Dove! I was between that color and Simply White, but some rooms of my condo get so much natural light that the Simply White looked too bright and a little bit yellow. My curtains are double layered -- one is a semi-transparent white (to let in light but provide privacy) and the other is a solid blackout white.

@youbetcha108 2 года назад

Hi Julie I too live in a low ceiling house. So I do paint the trim and ceiling the same color to visually extend height. I also find tall bookcases work but do not have any bc I like to use the walls for sconces and/or art photos. But I did eliminate the soffit in the kitchen and put lighted cabinets up there and it makes a huge difference in height perception. You are right about lighting. I have ceiling fans and you have to get huggers to accommodate lower ceilings. Why are the benefits of low ceilings ? Lower energy bills in winter, a cozy look, easy to clean and you can use tension rod lighting. I have 2 tension rod lights which I love bc I can put them anywhere. Have a great week ! Margaret

@ilikecontent2327 2 года назад

Love the content Julie! Yes. I would like to see more videos like this. Many of us have spaces with low ceilings. My whole house is like that. I never thought to add crown molding? I don't have ceiling lights in the front room. That might be a good solution for me. I have dark walls in my formal dining room and I think it works well. I used to have a dark taupe in the front room, but lightened it to cream. It gave the frontroom a light and airy feel(alabaster pearl by Behr). When the sun hits it it warms the room up. My furniture is dark warm brown so I am thinking I should keep.the walls lighter? Not sure. It is hard to work with shorter ceilings. I have larger paintings I have created, but I don't know how to hang them in shorter wall spaces? That might be another subject in a video. Art placement in lower ceiling height rooms. You may have already discussed this. I will have to scan through your videos... Thanks! I know what you mean... Trying to watch something and be quiet while nursing... Went through that with our son. Thanks again! 😊

I have a video on art placement Ida- it’s in the living room design mistakes video. Art should be hung at eye level, which is great since it’s more about wall space than ceiling height 👍🏻☺️

Another BIG thank you!!! Your videos are the best! I don’t find these kinds of photos on Pinterest or Houzz… you give me so many ideas, this one has the perfect master bedroom colors (the golden colored room w white crown moulding) for our room that will fix our awkward builder setup of a huge window in the middle of the long wall, finally I can see it blended in instead of a big eyesore if I put up draperies. Plus it shows how the blinds will be able to blackout the room instead of light coming through the top of draperies! So much vision! Woohoo!!!🎉

Awesome! That’s the power of inspiration Andrea! 👏🏻 Can’t wait to hear how it all develops!

@merrywalsh2809 2 года назад

Thanks Julie. Great tips. I never thought about how crown moulding could make the ceilings appear taller. I want to share something interesting that a design/build reno team did on my house because it is a good bang for the buck. My house has 8’ ceilings. I have a square entry. The designer did a slightly recessed square in the ceiling, by pushing it up a foot and framing it out in the attic. They hung a pretty pendant fixture, that is shallow, in the middle. This is a nice transition from outside to inside when you are walking in, so you don’t really get the impression the ceilings are low, and the cost is minimal.

@JulieKhuu 2 года назад

Yes! This is a brilliant way to make more of the ceiling space since you don’t need a whole lotta height to cut out that tray Merry 👍🏻

@kinkycurlymanestay Месяц назад

Good info. Can you share the cost?

@praisingirl 2 года назад

I'm so grateful for this information! Answered lots of my dilemmas about color to bring more height to my walls. I have dark stained trim , floors & kitchen cabinets. Hope to paint it all lighter but was not sure if crown molding would help or hurt the visual look. Thanks for helping me know for sure! 🙂

Hi Julie! I'm really enjoying the awkward spaces series. I have a vaulted ceiling that is asymmetrical on the only wall that I can place my TV on in the lounge area and I'm not sure how to style it or accentuate the height. Can you please do a video on asymmetrical vaulted ceilings as well? Thanks!

@JulieKhuu 2 года назад

Hi Pearl, I have one- it’s called sloped ceilings and it’s in this awkward space series. You don’t accentuate the height, quite the opposite. You help draw the eyes back down to the tv focal point with a console to anchor the space.

@paulaarchacki8200 2 года назад

Thanks for this video! I love the series!! We own a condo with a standard size guest bathroom. It is 5’x8’ leaving enough room for a sink base, toilet and tub. But where can I store the towels and other sundries when I dont have a hall closet either?! Should I utilize the sink base or add something above the toilet? I don’t want the space to feel anymore cramped (there’s no window)

@JulieKhuu 2 года назад

Sink base for sure. The space above the toilet can house a shallow cabinet, maybe just 8”-10” Paula! It’s still functional and won’t impede too much into the space

Hi Julie! I’m fascinated by your ability to take a peculiar area in the home and make actually feel relevant and intentional. Thank you for sharing your talent! My awkward space is a dark and moody family room. It has darker stained hardwood floors, a rather orange colored natural stone fireplace and very dark hard wood paneling. Because the paneling is made from planks of hardwood with areas that have been burned(?) they’re special. I just have no idea how to make this space feel modern. Any ideas? Perhaps lime washing the fireplace? It’s a conundrum! 😮. Thanks so much!!

Crown moldings are an interesting challenge here in Arizona because we have to work around air conditioning vents, which are placed high. Most of my ceilings are 8' but the rooms are relatively small, so the proportion works out. My media room ceiling is 7' 8" tall so it's even more of a challenge. But labeling it a "man CAVE" conveys the look I'm trying to get. LOL!!

I have the most awkward space. I live in a ranch style home with low ceilings like you. However, the room that we're trying to decorate has a breakfast nook. Along with sliding doors that go out to a screened in porch, and we repurposed a living room. Dining room maybe into a recording studio. So it didn't have doors. It was just an open room, and the room we're in is like a family room. trying to set up furniture or seating spaces has become insane for the space that we have. We also have a fireplace in that room. So it's lots of windows on one side of the room which surprisingly. Doesn't bring in a lot of light because we have so many trees. It's just the weirdest space to try to decorate. What is your advice?

I thought 8 foot ceilings were a standard height, mine are 7 ft tall sloped. A living room flush mount low profile is needed, but where to find? If I have 6' tall guests it's not uncommon for them to hit their head on the light fixture, which is in the middle of the room. The house was built in 1899. You'd never have that problem with 8 ft tall ceilings.

@Misajoejoe1 2 года назад

When painting the baseboards and crown molding, do you use the same texture of paint? Semi gloss?

Thanks for another great video! I have an awkward space in my living room where there is a 3x4 foot area, sectioned off by a knee wall for stairs going down to the basement. This is in the only corner of the room and where I wanted to put a sectional. What to do? Block off the space as it’s not really functional anyway?

@JulieKhuu 2 года назад

Yes, you can create storage and close it with a custom cabinet door

Virtually every single example shown in the video has a high ceiling, unfortunately. I'm yet to find a video that actually uses low ceilings to demonstrate

Planning to utilize the painted ceiling in my wifes study (always painted ceilings white so I want to be daring). We buy our home this week and move in over the weekend. I was telling her to go one shade lighter for the ceiling but you think two shades is better? Shes going with a really soft coral color (her favorite color).

@JulieKhuu 2 года назад

Two shades will lighten the space, one shade lighter will make it feel cozier. That’s up to your intent Justin 👍🏻

Is 8ft ceilings considered low?! I was looking for design ideas for my 1910's house who's second floor's ceiling is about 6'5ft max.

You win Abbigail 😂 8ft is considered low here, where are you located?

@@JulieKhuu I live in New Hampshire. I love my old and honestly weirdly designed house, but trying to find design inspiration can be a little challenging! I did appreciate your tips, and need to ponder if they'll be good for my quirky 1910 home.

@@JulieKhuu as you said to paint the chimney it will look taller , paint the bricks dark color or light color like the wall and ceilings . Which is better in this case dark or light color for the chimney ?

@tf7602 2 года назад

I think I disagree on the tip for the "design on the ceiling". Even on the design examples (that have high ceilings) the patterned ceilings brings it way down and really makes the ceiling look lower.

@JulieKhuu 2 года назад

The ceilings are the 5th wall in design. Whatever you do, don’t neglect it ☺️

Hi Julie! I know you mentioned that 245 centimeters is a low ceiling. But what about 280cm? Just found out our contractor made a mistake. In stead of a 300cm concrete ceiling, he made the ceiling 280cm high. I think I can say goodbye to a coffered ceiling, right? :(

@JulieKhuu 9 месяцев назад

You may still coffer the ceilings in an inset tray. He may have to do some maneuvering to stabilize what they cut out, but it’s totally doable if they can still cut out and up

Hi Julie, I have low ceilings in my bedroom but it is only 19x16 and I have a wall with a 22 inch window on the left side. How can I make it look bigger? Plus I like light and bright with clean lines.

@JulieKhuu Год назад

Bring the window treatments out wider than the 22” by 18” on each side 👍

8 feet is not quite a low ceiling. I have an older house with ceilings at 88 inches (223 cm) everywhere. That's a challenge. All advices in this video are good. Except dark walls and colored or patterned ceilings.

@JulieKhuu Год назад

8ft is considered low here in the States. I have 84” on the lowest side of my vaulted ceilings, but the slope helps to create depth of space. Dark walls will help the room recede when the ceilings are also dark WITH contrasting furniture, that’s the kicker 👍

@arieljaramillo9811 Год назад

Is it possible for ceilings to be TOO low for a dark, monochrome look? I love the look of dark spaces, but I’m dealing with 7 foot ceilings in an 800 sq foot house.

@JulieKhuu Год назад

It’s all about the contrast with furniture Ariel. If you have dark furniture, I would recommend going against dark paint or it will feel like a cavern. Light furniture plus layered lighting looks fabulous against dark walls, that’s when everything will pop and walls/ceiling will recede.

I have a place in my house with ventilation, which is 214 centimeters high. Is it possible to fix a kitchen, and what do you advise me?

@Caucasiancookingadventures 7 месяцев назад

I think 8 foot ceilings were done on purpose for drywall reasons. Example: sheets of drywall come in two different sizes. 4 feet wide x 8 feet long or 4 feet wide x 12 feet long.

Excellent point and so true 💯
