How To Decorate With A Slanted Ceiling

I live in a 1905 house and the ceilings in the second floor and crazy slanted. I beloved the grapheme they add, but they do make decorating a little tricky!

Today, I thought I would share how I've been decorating with slanted ceilings. As I've finished up rooms, I keep getting asked for tips on dealing with them. And so for my boyfriend slanted roof friends, this one is for you!

main bedroom

The trickiest part of decorating my master bedroom is dealing with putting a bed under the eaves. I beloved the layout with the bed on the longest wall, but I had to notice a brusque bed. This i BARELY fits. We don't hit our head on the camber, but we did take to sell a awning bed that we had because it just wouldn't fit in here.

Another thing I had to figure out with this room was where to end the wallpaper. I cull to retrieve of the camber as an extension of the ceiling. We were worried that if we papered that part, it'd await too crazy in here. I'k happy with that option considering the white gives this room a much needed infinitesimal to breath. But I could see others making another choice

I have a vanity in my bedroom where I put on my makeup. That got tucked under the eaves, but it did make putting upward a mirror a little tricky. Instead of putting a tiny mirror on the wall, I used a tabular array top mirror and then I can motility information technology close if needed.

One affair I'd actually propose when working with slanted ceilings is to play up the drama they add to the room! We used to have the closet where the vanity is. To give this room the symmetrical rainbow bookcase, we relocated it and built in a bookcase specifically for this wall. Those shelves are my favorite affair almost this room because they play to the drama the roof lends.

son's room

In my son'southward room, I put his bed on the tall wall (mostly because it's usually tucked into the corner so there's less of a risk of him falling out.

For most ceilings, I go white. Only since the ceiling takes up so much of the wall space, I wanted to celebrate that by painting the eaves with clouds. This creates a little bit of drama and makes up for the fact that you can't hang art of the slants. I'd definitely suggest trying this two-tone look!

Another thing I did in this room was hang art on the wall that plays nicely with the lines of the ceiling. I created a little triangle of art above the bed and the kites by the rocker pull your heart up every bit the wall does. This helps depict the middle upward to the highest point of the room in a pleasing style which emphasizes the unique architecture particular.

Lastly, the play table and volume shelves are tucked under the slanted ceiling on this side of the room. The beauty of the slant is that it adds firsthand coziness- so use it to your advantage to create intimate spots in your infinite. Taking advantage of the straight wall nether the gradient makes for smart storage space.

playroom

In the playroom, which is also like a mini living room, the biggest wall is wallpapered. This makes it a feature that once more, accentuates the slant.

The sofa is tucked underneath the eaves. I painted this room two tone likewise in an endeavor to make information technology more playful. It also grounds the room and tells the eye where to look first.

kitchen

These pictures are from an Air Bnb (the A Frame Haus) that I stayed out a few months ago. Side annotation, information technology was 1 of my favorite trips in case you lot need a beautiful motel in Utah to stay at!

For the kitchen, there are no upper cabinets, just lots of storage in the lower cabinets. To keep it interesting, carefully chosen accessories decorate the countertop.

This cabin uses shiplap that extends from the ceiling to the bottom of the walls to bear witness off the historic and unique details of the home. This unifies the space while notwithstanding adding interest.

bathroom

This bathroom is as well in the A Frame Haus and I love information technology! Ane of the benefits of sloped ceiling is the power to add together additional windows and skylights for actress natural light. This helps to shell the claustrophobic feel that tin can sometimes be a downside of slanted ceilings. These skylights helps the room appear bright and airy at all times.

And allow me tell you, these were then cute at night every bit the sky filled with stars!

I also think the combination of the more than rustic ship lap with the smoothen subway tile is only beautiful in here. The white unifies everything and the texture makes it interesting.

living room

The A Frame Haus likewise has their sofa tucked under the slope. Again, the shiplap unifies the ceiling and the walls while skylights break up the ceiling. Texture from the woven rug, chunky throw, and leather sofa add involvement to this living room.

You can besides meet that the wood burning stove is next to the sofa with the chimney going up through the slant in the ceiling.

Alright! There are how I dealt with the slanted ceilings in our house. And how I saw it mastered in an Air Bnb. Personally, I actually tried to brand the eaves an asset and play off. I tried to look at them every bit perks instead of letting them go in the way. My fingers are crossed that this post is helpful! Let me know if you lot have any questions in the comments.
