Traditionally, the ceiling was the decorated part of the room, not just some flat surface that hung over a room. I'm not saying that I don't like a white ceiling. What I am saying is that the ceiling, as well as any crown molding around the upper walls should be given some thought.
The color from the walls veing used on the molding, or spilling the color onto the ceiling can make the room seem taller. This is a great trick in basement rooms where the ceiling height can be 7 feet. I know I always feel like ducking. So while you may not want to paint the entire ceiling. consider part of it.
Conversely, if the ceiling seems too tall, bring the ceiling down the walls just a bit, or create an attic on the walls (a part of the upper wall that is decorated separately from the rest of the wall and ceiling). It will help fill the room.
Modernism means freedom - freedom to mix, to choose, to change, to embrace the new but hold fast to what is good. - Edward Wormley
