Hi Everyone.
I saw a technique on t.v. to make your low ceilings appear much taller by using shading on the ceiling. Anyone have any info on how this is accomplished?

Never seen this done before, but the lighter the color, the higher it will look. You could frame out about 1' from the edge of the wall a shade darker than the middle, and using black or gray at each corner, draw a line 45 degrees out to make it appear 'framed' or look like a coffered ceiling.
