“The taller, the better”- this defines and helps determine the design aesthetic of the entire space and, especially, of the ceiling itself. A high ceiling can make a small space seem bigger and a bigger space seem massive. Adding lively atmosphere - a tall, open space, a segment of drop ceiling can provide familiarity and assist to systematize space efficiently. Embedded light fixtures, knotted hemp coverings, wooden bands, fluid forms crafted from POP, and even art-works/graphics are seen embellishing 'wow'ceilings. Often, when there is enough height available, the ceiling treatment is chosen in varying heights with drop ceilings with distinctive features that also visually define the spaces within the room. It is also often complemented by a similar design/pattern in the floor below - for enhancing the visual effect. For instance if there is a circular POP with mouldings on the ceiling, the flooring below too may have a circular echo - either with a marble-inlay or a carpet; to help distinguish the different areas from each other. However, high ceilings instantly add a grand feeling while lower ceilings foster intimacy and privacy. Therefore the use of the space determines the ceiling treatment.
