Work from the perimeter of the attic toward the door or hatch so that you don t trample all over the insulation you just put in.
Opt for lower furniture and scaled artwork to create the visual effect of higher ceilings.
Always cover the tops of the ceiling joists to make sure the insulation is deep enough to reach your target r value and to prevent thermal bridging the heat loss that occurs through the wood framing.
Stained or left bare wood makes a low ceilinged attic feel snug and cozy.
In other words if your attic has 200 square feet over which the ceiling is at least 5 feet.
