Double-height walls often are seen in foyers, rooms with vaulted ceilings or homes with a loft overlooking the living room area. Decorating this space prevents the large wall expanse from looking dull and awkward in the room. Utilizing the right height for your artwork and other decor makes the most of this unusual wall space and creates unity and visual flow in the room. Large-scale artwork, furnishings and other accessories help diminish the tall, overwhelming space. Does this Spark an idea?
