Artistic framing. A half wall doesn’t have to start at the floor or ceiling at all. Painting a frame around a framed photo or painting makes the piece look larger and more noticeable. Use this technique to take a medium-size piece and visually fill an entire wall by making the painted “frame” more than half the width of the wall itself — roughly 60 percent wider than the art (although let your eye guide you, and don’t worry too much about the math).
