How should I decorate with high arch ceilings?

Answer by  user71 (796)

The best way to decorate high arch ceilings is to take advantage of the open space. Large pieces of artwork on the wall and large lighting fixtures fill the space.

Just make sure you use larger scale pieces. Small art and bric a brac will be dwarfed. Large pieces of artwork can be hung higher than usual.

If you want to accent the height of the ceiling, place objects near the top of the wall to create a border. If you want the room to seem smaller, hang items lower on the wall. Make sure to hang photos and framed artwork at eye level.

Usually these kinds of dramatic spaces require a bold touch and a stunning focal point such as single or paired chandeliers. The ceilings themselves can be painted a contrasting color or faux-finished with fresco or sky effects. The interior of the arches can be stenciled or tiled for additional impact.

Hang chandeliers, simple light fixtures or even japanese lanterns at different lengths from the ceiling. You can intertwine ornaments with the lights to create a more ornate look.
