Are your ceilings boring?  If so, do something about it!  Beams can be added, drywall detailing, tin ceilings for a vintage look or paint!   The left photo is a stencil on an 8’ ceiling to add interest.  A stencil like this gives interest without lowering the ceiling The photo on the right shows how beams will make the ceiling lower as they extend down. 

Tongue and groove wooden ceiling from light to dark is another textural option for variety.  If the ceiling is too high, bring molding down on the wall and end the ceiling color at the molding. 

How cool is this! Dustpans in your baseboards work with your central vac system.
