Anitra's tips and tricks for low ceilings:
  • Insert tin ceiling panels in a drop ceiling. The reflective quality of the tin will help 7 feet of nothing look like something
     
  • Another trick I like to use is what I call my "vertical line trick":  I love molding (i.e. judges paneling) on the wall because it adds a nice rich feel to the room.  By creating a pattern for your molding you create the illusion of height.  Picture this: a short box on bottom – a few inches of wall space – a tall skinny rectangular box on top.  This works every single time, trust me!
     
  • For really low ceilings, I will hang recessed can lighting over an area that you won't have to walk underneath.  For example, a coffee table, game table, pool table ... you get the idea.  Even though you don't have a ton of vertical space to work with, nobody notices because they are focused on that fantastic piece hanging over your entertainment area.
