Attic Ceiling Too Low
At least 50 of the usable area calculated above must have ceilings of at least 7 feet.
Attic ceiling too low. Stained or left bare wood makes a low ceilinged attic feel snug and cozy. Always cover the tops of the ceiling joists to make sure the insulation is deep enough to reach your target r value and to prevent thermal bridging the heat loss that occurs through the wood framing. A timeless classic these tongue and groove panels are easy to install and will protect the low ceiling from dings and dents. Opt for lower furniture and scaled artwork to create the visual effect of higher ceilings.
You can vary the look by using boards of different widths. In other words if your attic has 200 square feet over which the ceiling is at least 5 feet. Furniture scale and placement. Opt for low slung small to medium scale furniture for your attic room but make sure beds and upholstered seating aren t too short or small for your body.
Design illusions are your best friend when it comes to decorating a room with low ceilings.
