Quite simply, ceilings are often ignored. But various ceiling height and/or adornments can turn an otherwise predictable room into something special!
Think we’re overstating the issue? Quick – what color are your ceilings? Most likely the answer is white. In fact, there’s a specific shade of white known as ‘ceiling white’ that is the default color. Bet the other walls in the room are a little more colorful, a little more expressive. Add drama to the ceiling with color, decorative tiles/panels, or interesting light fixtures. You can even use paint to create contrast and highlight focal points of the room.
Homes with cathedral ceilings, sloped ceilings, or tiered ceilings all add drama and volume (height). In addition, more creative builders and their carpenters are executing creative ceiling adornments. It’s artistry in drywall!

If your closet has a window, that might be the perfect location for a seat. The natural light is wonderful, and you wouldn’t have hanging or shelving in front of the window. Build the seat with a hinged top for added storage or perhaps discretely locating the safe for your valuables.
