Moxie on Feb 03, 2014You could do the ceiling color down the walls a bit if you want to make it feel less high....monochrome wide strips might be pretty cool toHelpful Reply

Jean on Feb 04, 2014I can't do anything with the ceiling it flows into another room, so it is not a separate room but I do love your ideas. That is why I want something to do with the walls so they are not just one color.Helpful Reply

Marguerite Acosta on Feb 05, 2014You could use wall paper in any pattern down low, and pick a color from it for the above part. The make great borders to separate the two as well.Helpful Reply

Timeless Interiors on Feb 05, 2014I agree with the wainscoting idea. Alternatively, embrace your high ceilings! Cutting the walls in half like that appears a bit dated. Instead, I would paint a solid color, add some moulding if you'd like to bring the ceiling color down a bit, then find some great artwork or hanging accessories to break it up visually. Good luck!Helpful Reply

Diane Woods on Feb 05, 2014What about putting 2 x 4's to make it a paneled wall? You could put pictures inside each box, or just leave it plain. http://decorchick.com/how-to-the-paneled-wall/Helpful Reply

Elizabeth Sagarminaga on Feb 05, 2014Can you put in shelves on the lower/ upper part of the wall and house books , odd knickknacks, etc. This would help. Alternatively, put up some paintings on the wall. They would look impressive- maybe one with an angry sea or of Mt Fuji- ie to say of something mighty where both can do justice to each other.Helpful Reply

Yvonne Day Aka Miss Ruby on Feb 05, 2014I say Embrace the high ceilings and put a very tall mirror and/or console/ bracket with a shelf on it to fit that area. Put a tall lamp on the area to make it more dramatic. You could also do a glazed stripe or stencil design to bring texture into the area. Having small things in such a tall area will date it or make it look unfinished. Tall sconce arrangements look good there too. Also take a look at your light fixture, bigger can help fill in the area or even adding shades or jewels will be a nice added change. Let us know how you do!Helpful Reply

The Fairy Garden on Feb 05, 2014I agree..the height in this area is dramatic and beautiful. In fact I think I would accentuate it with a very subtly colored stripped wall paper, add a tall mirror with a soft white frame and put in a small hanging chandelier to compliment the nice glass work in the doorway and play light against the mirror. It is a stunning space.Helpful Reply

The Fairy Garden on Feb 05, 2014Also like the idea of painting the ceiling a slightly bolder color and bringing the color down the wall a bit and trim with very narrow wood trim if you really want to drop the height a bit.Helpful Reply
