How do I bring ceiling down in great room?

Anonymous

I have a large, open great room and connected foyer and am wondering how to bring the ceiling down to make look cozier/warmer? Can I do this with paint?

Paint, or more specifically its color, can help create the coziness your after. Here two different ways this can be done;

1) Use the wall color on the ceiling. This will help "pull down" the ceiling.

2) Use a slightly darker color on the ceiling. This works best if your walls are a light earth tone color. Use 1 shade darker (same color just a little darker) for the ceiling.

A warmer feel can be accomplished by using warm colors.
