A classic print is all it takes to mask this sloped ceiling. Take a cue from designer Paloma Contreras, who says she chose to “fully tent the bedroom in a striped wallpaper, which makes the ceiling disappear into the rest of the room.”

For a modern farmhouse feel, install white wood paneling all the way to the ceiling — which works particularly well when paired with exposed beams. To elevate the vintage-inspired look, Liz Williams Interiors adds a taper candle chandelier and canopy bed.

From kitchens to bedrooms, warm woods are trending for 2024 — mostly because of their power to cozy up an interior. Take note from designer Emily Henderson and start with an oak bed frame and matching nightstands.
