1. Full-length glass walls
The double-length ceiling-to-floor glass walls is of utmost importance from an architectural point of view when it comes to a double-height living room. This not only allows you to play around with the height of the living rooms but also allows natural light in abundance. Having natural light or sunlight brings an earthiness to the entire look of the living room and exaggerates the space to the point of luxury. Since the entire world is slowly becoming a cement jungle, having such huge glass walls gives a sense of being in the outdoors despite being inside. The more open you keep your space, the more welcoming and calming it makes you feel.
When it comes to selecting ceiling-to-floor glass walls, you can either choose to have one entire continuous glass wall or you can also have a divided glass wall with a separation in the form of a small breath of wall between them. Having said that, the divided glass wall look still gives the appearance of a double-height living room and does full justice in adding space and luxury to the overall look of the room.
2. Add a Focal Point
The living room is a place that has the greatest number of furniture or art pieces or any kind of materialistic pieces as compared to the entire house. This can create a lot of visual diversions or distractions in one room and in this process, the visual appreciation needed for the double-height living room is lost somewhere amongst all the other things in the living room. For this to not happen, you can add focus to the entire height of the living. This will not only hold the gaze of the people to that focal point but also make the room look bigger and much better and grander. This focal point can be created using gigantic or full-length art pieces or paintings. This creates the much-needed focal wall which not only gives the illusion of added height but also gets brownie points for the artwork. You can also add thick or big frames to the wall pieces which makes it look even bigger and draws more attention to the double height of the living room.
3. Have a Functional Wall
Sometimes, the disadvantage of having a double-height living room is that a lot of space is wasted which would otherwise have been used for something more functional. One of the ways in which this space can be utilized is by adding storage spaces in an otherwise dead wall.
No matter how huge the house is, storage always seems to be a problem everywhere, and what better way to store things and make them look stylish at the same time?
You can also add a book wall to the entire length of the wall. This not only gives a sophisticated look to the entire space but also helps in the utilization of the double height.
4. Add in Woodwork
Adding wooden elements to the wall right from the ceiling to the floor length of the wall gives an illusion of oneness. This woodwork will look more elegant when it is combined with either floor or ceiling woodwork. This creates a continuous look needed to exaggerate the double-height living room look. Having wooden elements in their entirety not only oozes elegance but also brings out warmth and earthiness to the living room. The entire look also looks classy and gives a slight touch of royalty too. If the woodwork is burning a hole in the pocket, you can either opt for wooden laminates which look almost similar to the actual woodwork unless one is an expert in that field. This will not only be within your budget but also give the exact same feel as the actual woodwork.
5. Use Rich Colours
Colours play a major role in changing the entire look of the space. The living room is a place where you can either play with a couple of colours here and there or use one colour for the entire space.
Either way, as long as the colour brings the entire look of the place together, there is no harm in choosing either of the ways.
But the best way to enhance the double-height living room is by introducing rich colours like shades of brown and vibrant colours like blue, red, yellow and a few others.
This helps to highlight the room like a colourful painting in a white-walled room.
The rich colours help to make the place look slightly more dynamic and add drama to the living room. The living room is a space which binds all the other rooms of the house together, thus you can use the various colours used in all other rooms and bring them into the living room to create a beautiful and creative colour palette.
6. Installing Art Pieces
One of the best advantages of having a double-height living room is the double-length wall they provide the living room. Incorporating wall art in living room can also have psychological benefits. This double-length wall is an excellent place to hang the art pieces which are always in need of full attention. You can either have one huge art piece on the wall or have a number of them in one place. This makes the person look up at the art pieces giving the sense of the height of the place. Not just paintings but you can also add 3D art installations on the wall to give depth to the entire place. This makes the living room livelier and gives a dramatic flair to the entire space.
7. Adding Chandeliers
Chandeliers are all in one package. They have so many advantages and are so underrated. They add richness to the ceiling by making it look fuller. They make the room look luxurious too. There are lot of chandelier designs that come with light fittings flooding the room with more lights along with natural light. Most importantly, chandeliers add height to the living room giving a double-height living room.
8. Layered Lighting
Lights can either make or break the room. Correct usage of light enhances the entire room even if it has minimal furniture. Layered lighting is the concept where a series of lights are fitted or installed in such a way that the lights are fitted separately but give a warm and continuous look to the entire place. Proper layered lighting doesn’t look dissociated. It brings a certain warmth and calmness to the double-height living room. A wide variety of lights are available like LED, Track Lighting, yellow and ambient lights. The best kind of lights is the ambient lights because they make the place look more welcoming than the other types of lights available in the market and are also easy on the eyes. LED lights are good too but they are more helpful in places where a lot of work needs to be done or maybe in rooms where a lot of functionality and movement takes place like study rooms or even washrooms. Kitchens can benefit from either type of light.
9. Tall Plants
Having plants around the house gives a feeling of being in nature despite being indoors and that is the beauty of having plants in the house. They not only look natural but are also healthy to have around in the house. Some indoor plants like monstera and snake plants help in the purification of air in the house. Installing plants and especially tall plants in the house give the illusion of height of the living room thus making it look even bigger and fresh. Having plants around the house, especially in the living room, makes the room look fresh and mentally makes you even fresher.
10. Adding a Staircase
Usually, double-height living rooms have staircases hidden away from the living room. But it can be used in the living room too which helps in making the room look big. It is of course not only functional but also gives a very grandeur appearance to the entire place. Having gigantic stairs in the living room gives a royal appearance too.
