If you’re working in a smaller space and want extra seating but don’t want to block, say, the television, ottomans placed across from the lengthwise portion will do the trick. A coffee table could hide the ottomans when they’re not in use.

If you don't have things to display, then don't build open display areas. Keeping your stuff behind closed doors is perfectly acceptable.

You don't often see a desk as part of a built-in around a fireplace, but this one is beautiful. Think how nice it would be to sit beside the fire while you work! Drawers, cabinets, counter space and open shelving handle the storage of additional office supplies, TV components and display objects.

A few guidelines to remember: 1. The bottom of your ceiling fixture should be no lower than 6'8" above the floor, unless it's hung over a table or island, to avoid hitting your head. 2. To create an eye-catching look in a large space with low ceilings, search for a fixture that is large in width or diameter, but with a lower profile in height like the option shown in this bedroom. 3. For drama and style in a long hallway with low ceilings, try repetition with a stylized flush-mounted fixture. 4. You can also create a unique look with cove lighting and architectural features when there is not space for a large chandelier or decorative light fixture. When you are dealing with lower ceilings that simply won't accommodate a large dramatic light fixture, don't fret! There are a few options out there to help you create a unique environment while still adhering to height restrictions.

In this living room, rather than using a decorative ceiling fixture, cove lighting was designed to create added interest to the room and illuminate the space.
