  The most common ceiling height in homes throughout the world is 8 feet.  While some may consider that a comfortable height , others, especially taller folks, will find this standard too small.  Having your custom home plans designed by an Architect or a Designer can enable you to have the ceiling heights you need in your new home.  In your new home you can create the feeling of height by decorating the rooms with with furnishings such as shelves that go from floor to ceiling.  Painting the walls in a bright yet neutral tone such as an off-white, beige, or ivory, will contribute a feeling of lightness and spaciousness.  Another method to employ in your custom home plans is to have your ceiling lacquered with a gloss paint.  The light will bounce off the surface and create the idea of more space.  Any bright white color will be effective for this technique.  By highlighting any vertical elements you have in your rooms in a distinct color different from your wall you will accentuate them.  Even adding millwork and/or mirrors can enhance height in rooms.  Remember that in your custom home plans floor-to-ceiling doors and doorways , if structurally possible, also help give the sensation of height.  Vertical stripes on the walls, either as a decorative finish or a wall covering can visually enhance height.  Another successful technique for creating height in your custom home plans is to select sleek contemporary furniture lines.  Many of these newer lines of furniture have a lower European profile, which by contrast will make your ceilings seem higher.  Lighting a room from below can make a ceiling seem higher.  Lighting can come from spotlight canisters placed around the perimeter of the room.  If the setting of the room is right, you can even place lights underneath your furniture.  Then, your furniture will seem to float, and your eye will be drawn down to the floor.

What makes a home a Dream Home? It starts with careful planning. There are many aspects to consider when planning and building your dream home. What styles do you like? Are you a fan of Spanish architecture, or maybe Mission style or victorian. Have you considered European style Architecture including French Chateau or French Country? Maybe a Mediterranean style of architecture is more your style. The point is that when you are designing and constructing your dream home, an architectural firm is where your planning process starts. The skills of a design firm can not be over estimated. Not only will they design the home of your dreams, but it will be a home that will prove to be an investment as well. Homes that are designed by skilled professionals are more desirable and have better resale value. A home that is unique and different can not only provide you and your family with the ideal living environment, but also provide you with some financial security as you move toward retirement.
