Vertical everything, art, tall plants, mirrors. Use furniture with legs showing, no skirts. Vertical board and batten on the walls.
Lighter paint colors help.
Avoid horizontal trim boards at the top of the wall.
Using smaller furnishings can visually enlarge a room.
Paint the walls a very light color and the ceiling white. Light colored furniture will help, too. Bright colored pillows will make all of the light colors really pop. Be sure the light colors are also in the pillows.
Awesome. Wheels are turning here. Thanks.
Vertical stripes! Did this in bathroom of prior house- WOW, it worked, I thought. They were monochromatic stripes, 2 tones darker/deeper than the wall color,but enough to know they were there. The vertical trick the eye into thinking the wall is much taller.
I wonder if I could sleep 😴 in a striped room... :)maybe! It makes sense...cool thought.
