Excel Builders The strip above is what we used. We attached that to the drywall. The strip was flexible enough to move up and down to meet the rafters. After the strip was installed we then skim coated the wall to hide the edge of the strip.

Add visual height. Unfinished ceilings can also help add height to a space, especially when painted a dark color. “Paint the ceiling dark and finish the rest of the room off as you would normally,” says Holloway. “This type of ceiling works with a variety of aesthetics, and the unfinished effect makes it feel higher than a drop or drywall style would.” Benjamin Moore’s Baby Seal Black is one of Holloway's go-to paint colors.
