Indoor furniture. It’s such a bonus when furniture does double duty. If you are having a bench built for seating, I recommend you ask the millworker to build drawers into the face of the bench. It’s a really easy and clean way to add more storage.
Fireplace. Using your fireplace to emphasize your room height is also a great way to create a focal point. By bringing the finish on the face of the fireplace all the way up to the ceiling, you create the illusion of something grand.

2017 Modern Jay Mark home in Bellevue

The living room, next to the kitchen and back patio, is well-suited to entertaining. A clean, contemporary mantel-less limestone fireplace offers a “quiet moment” among the various patterns, colors and textures in the room, Schroder says. The ceiling is covered in a marbled wallpaper by Élitis, which highlights the raised roofline.
